    great character

    Lifelong Boston Southie Bridgette Bird (Frankie Shaw) is a struggling single mom. Her old dream of playing basketball has faded. Her baby daddy Rafi (Miguel Gomez) is dating hot Nelson Rose (Samara Weaving). Her mom Tutu (Rosie O'Donnell) is unstable. She tutors Ally (Connie Britton)'s kids. Eliza is her best friend.

    This is a great character. Her overt sexuality is unusual for a single mom role. She's a terrifically flawed character. She's best when she's striving to be better like when she's trying to stay with basketball. Otherwise, it's wallowing for wallowing's sakes and that happens a lot in the second season. She can't win or the show is not the show but she can't just drift either. The second season is a bit of the sophomore jinx. It seems to be a show in transition. Connie Britton is fazing out of the show. I didn't know why it got cancelled after only two seasons until I read about the controversy. It's a shame especially since Samara Weaving was never meant to be that sexualized character. She's a hot model but she's reserved in that aspect. I hope that Frankie simply let the pressure of show-running get to her.

    BRILLIANT!!

    First - I don't care what anyone has to say about Rosie O'Donnell, she is still a terrific actress and comedian with AMAZING timing - and this show more than proves it. EMMY AWARD WINNING Performance, mos def. Second - Frankie Shaw's acting abilities and gorgeous face made me melt WAAAAAAAY WAY WAY before SMILF even aired on Showtime. Brilliant barely scratches the surface when it comes to this girls talents, on screen and on paper. Wow! She wrote the perfect role for herself and its A Maze...zing! Third - Truly, this show is great. I have never laughed so hard at moments in a comedic show before. It's brilliant, well timed, humor is fresh, slick, and often inappropriate. I love it! I find myself already quoting this show - there's so many hilarious moments.

    It´s a solid 7.5 perhaps a 8

    I'm actually really enjoing it , i was dubious about the name and the not really great imdb reviews so i had to read a few ... Most of the critics seems to circle around the idea of what a single mom should be rather than how really good the show is . And it´s really good , at least that´s what i´m getting . Well written , well acted and well directed ... of course it´s far from perfect , but i think it´s a gem in it´s own little way . It´s telling a story , it´s fun at times , a little drama , kinda raw , refreshing and new . Much better of many blockbusters nowdays . Ence the 8 ... I really loved the Lola run reference in ep.5

    Progressive creator gets her show cancelled due to allegations of forced nudity, and abusive and racist set conditions

    SMILF's entire narrative seems so fake and forced that I am not surprised it got cancelled. It is nothing like what most single mother's face and instead portrays single moms as desperate s1uts who endless repeat the same mistake that got them where they are in the first place. Sorry most single moms are not drunken s1uts.

    I am also not surprised to see the "progressive message" showrunner, creator and lead actress s herself abusive -- this is typical of virtue signaling hypocrites: "The cancellation followed a December story in The Hollywood Reporter that portrayed a production "plagued by allegations of abusive behavior and violations of industry rules..... "The Hollywood Reporter detailed complaints about the way Shaw managed actress Samara Weaving's nude and sex scenes for the show. Citing "several sources," it also said there were complaints that "writers of color were put in different rooms from Cauca sian writers and felt that their ideas were exploited without pay or credit."
