alison_young-21400 I was on a long flight, and was planning to check out a single episode before going to sleep.. I didn't think I'd like the show based on the ads I'd seen, but turns out I couldn't stop watching. I ended up seeing seven episodes, laughing out loud, waking up the people next to me. Great show! Very funny, compelling characters, love the writing. I'm baffled by the bad reviews here.. were they watching the same show?! Of course the characters/situations are exaggerated - it's a comedy.

Kimberley Turner The writing is witty, clever, and fresh, and the acting...wow, total gems in this show, everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE is perfect in their roles (special nod to Dani Kind who dominates the comedy)! This show is a must for anyone who enjoys comedy and great acting, and it really showcases how smooth a finish a show can get with an all woman crew behind the scenes. From Writing to production this show is refreshingly, beautifully finished.Go watch it immediately and stay tuned for when the 2nd series airs!

A Wu As a working mom, I really wanted to love this show. I watched 5 episodes and really gave it a shot. The writing is not funny, the plot is overly exaggerated and I cannot relate to any of the characters. I'm flabbergasted why it's been renewed for a second season and disappointed in CBCs choice - and really annoyed it's just because it's tied to the reitman family. This one is a big miss for me.

jrschriver A good comedy will make you laugh, a great comedy will also challenge you to think about the world differently. This show tries to do the latter, without first nailing down the former. It almost seems like someone at the CBC had a laundry list of issues they thought should be addressed on TV, and decided the best way to do that would be awkwardly stuffing them into a comedy. Now, being a parent, there are moments in the show that deeply resonate, and there are some genuinely entertaining moments as well - so there is certainly potential here - but there are also a lot of dropped jokes and lazy writing that just weigh the show down, so by the time the credits role I am often left confused and frustrated. I think this is an important show trying to do important things and with some time, effort and thought can be made into a genuinely good comedy. If Workin' Moms was airing on a private network, I fear it would not make it past season one. However, since it is on the CBC it can get the time and grace it needs to properly develop.
