I like to watch TV series and movies. I want to be entertained and yet challenged.
Mom as a TV series does not tread on new ground. It is an easy to watch series. However, unlike other comedies these days it actually tries to say something. 2.5 men, and Big Bang are all series that amuse but they just don't try to tread a bit deeper in the thought. Big Bang is actually one of the biggest disappointments in that it stays as superficial as ever.
Mom reminds of Rosanne, which back in its day was one of my favourite comedy series. It was very effective and entertaining because it did not just try to do comedy. Rosanne had its serious moments where it tried to answer common day problems in a realistic manner. Rosanne did not shy away from domestic abuse, gay and lesbian issues, nor violence or teenage social problems. Thus I say Thank-You to Mom because I finally have a Rosanne worthy follow series...
