For those who haven't watched 'Mom', there are many spoilers here.
The worst most tedious excruciating character in this series was Violet, Christy's daughter. Violet was poorly written, a one dimensional character. There's brutal honesty, then there's constant repetition.
It didn't matter how Christy got her life together, accepted her own mother Bonnie's ongoing faults and lies, yet welcomed Bonnie back into her life, Violet was the complete opposite of Christy, she was an ungrateful caterwauling smug spoiled brat. Yes, due to Christy's guilt. Violet was spoiled and coddled.
Christy, through hard work and focus, built a new life for herself and her two children while reconciling with and forgiving Bonnie. Despite all this, Violet just couldn't let go of the past, it consumed her every waking hour! This ungrateful brat just moped around and complained.
When she wasn't playing with her computer all day, Violet had sex with Luke, got pregnant (pretty sure she blamed Christy for that too!), she spent 95% of this series mouthing off to her mom Christy. There are people who had much worse upbringings than Violet, guess it was easier to complain than get her own act together? Seems Violet was content complaining 24/7.
As if Violet herself didn't make some extremely horrible choices? Violet, who appeared unmotivated as a student, moved in with a much older man (one of her teachers), came crawling back home from Las Vegas (where she was up to who knows what! She claimed to be card croupier, hmmm), then re-connected with ex-BF Luke (her baby's father), at that point, Luke was suddenly very successful and rich.
Violet was obviously a user who continued to blame others for her lot in life. When Violet couldn't get her own act together, her solution was to continue blaming Christy, while using others. Violet was unable to stand on her own two feet, despite Christy and Bonnie doing their best, Violet whined and whined ad nauseam.
Most of Violet's choices were terrible. Even Christy's goofy pothead ex-husband, Baxter, got his act together, yet, all Violet would do was complain and blame Christy for her miserable empty life. There comes a point where a person, who had a difficult upbringing, must accept responsibility for their life. Otherwise, what was Violet going to do, apply for public assistance?
Violet never had any sort plan to support herself, her incessant whining was like a needle caught in a record groove. Violet was so repetitious, smug and annoying.
Christy worked full time, she managed to get accepted to a prestigious law school, yet Violet would never let go of her hate and disappointment. Nothing Christy did was good enough. The podcast episode was horrible, it showed how self-centered Violet was, she was completely unwilling to accept Christy's apology, Unable to comprehend how Christy changed her life in extremely major ways. It was all about Violet, she was a narcissist, surprised few caught this about Violet.
Christy should have thrown Violet out a long time ago, but due to her enormous guilt kept this whiny brat around. The son, Roscoe, was fine, he was funny and cute, but Violet was absolutely excruciating. Every time Violet was on screen it was torture, you immediately knew what her dialogue would be.
Thankfully, the other characters more than made up for Violet's one-note presence.
