This is a sitcom with a female-focused perspective. The women in
are the bad girls that many people can't accept: precocious, alcoholic, crazy. They are both daughters and mothers. In the American sitcom industry with a male-dominated perspective, it is even more daring to shoot than " Bankrupt Sisters ", even surpassing the age barrier, challenging almost all the inappropriateness of women. possibility.
"Super Mom" is a sitcom that has been updated every season since 2013. There is no doubt that it is a 'slow-heat' high-quality comedy. Climbing, at the end of the eighth season in 2020, it stopped to a high score of 9.2, and caused many fans to be reluctant.
Eight years, how did it end like this? Many netizens left messages on Douban, saying they didn't believe it and it ended like this. This is the same feeling I had when I watched " Modern Family " and " The Big Bang Theory ", and now I repeatedly take it out and repaint it for memory Add a little burden.
The bottom life, funny mother and daughter daily life, everything is nonsense but full of unknowns and challenges. After eight seasons, have the problems inside been solved?

is a daughter and a mother
When I mention foreign sitcoms, the first thing I might mention is "The Big Bang Theory", because I wrote it a long time ago, I am a big fan, and I follow a lot of bloggers who share video resources. In this way, I accidentally swiped "Needless Mom". At that time, it was only broadcast in the seventh season, but because the frequency of Weibo was reduced later, the drama was also sparsely followed.
But some of the topics involved in it are still very attractive to me. Compared with other sitcoms, the advantage of "Super Mom" is that the content is relatively easy to understand, and there is no confusing academic like in "The Big Bang Theory" Language, and there is no dirty jokes that Max keeps outputting in "Broken Sisters".
This drama tells the hilarious daily life of an alcoholic mother and daughter. The same thing between them is that Christine: a single mother, gave birth to a daughter at 17; Bonnie: a single mother, gave birth to Chris at 16 Ting.
Not only that, but even Christine's daughter seems to have re-enacted her old way: she had a silly and sweet boyfriend when she was in high school. The two secretly met at home, and were often discovered by Christine. And got pregnant unexpectedly. The reason why
is called 'the best' is that there is no need to say more about such 'criminals'?
This 'mother-daughter relationship' is not only discussed in a lighthearted and humorous way in the play, but also hilariously waiting to be unlocked every day. Although I am looking from the back to the front, it really does not affect my feelings for several female characters. Love and know each other, and look forward to what will happen to them later.
What's even more surprising is that "The Best Mom" was created by "The Big Bang Theory" screenwriter Chuck Lorry , and the inspiration for quitting alcohol came from Chuck Lorry's help AA quit drinking during his alcoholism The inspiration that broke out during the Anonymous meeting led to the birth of this comedy. The screenwriters of
seem to be very handy with this kind of comedy: slowly tell the cycle of tragedies, and finally resolve them slowly in the hearts of the audience and establish their strength. The characters in
are also very deepFascinating, as the 'originator' of a single mother, Bonnie has a golden sentence that the audience will remember every season. She looks arrogant and self-centered, but the most important thing in her heart is her relationship with Christine. , Because of the needs of the plot, the next few seasons will focus on the story of the mother and daughter. It seems that the first two seasons are testing the waters, and the latter will gradually become very good. It is also a natural and smooth performance by the actors.

'superb' Bad social problems tell us that even though things happen, we must work hard for the life we want.
If the life in front of you is messy and heavy, and tragedies are constantly being staged, then "Super Mom" will definitely heal your extreme emotions, because every episode in it is in the barren soil shrouded in tragedy. Open endless flowers of joy, make you laugh, make you cry, and move you.
But the accident still happened. In the opening title of the eighth season, Kristin disappeared. Some people say that "Needless Mom" without Kristen is like "Shameless" without Fiona , so sad, and so regretful.
seems to have accepted the warm and romantic family ending of most American sitcoms. Such a somewhat extreme life setting, in the end, it takes some regrets to be successful.
Anyway, they all live the life they want, and they have pulled their warmth to the highest value.
This is what "Super Mom" should look like. Don't say that cute characters are getting farther and farther away from us. The warm and true stories and flesh-and-blood characters left behind are the most rare.
Although it's not my favorite American drama, it does heal me in a lot of decadent periods. Don't just think it's just a sitcom', it has the characteristics of comedy, and it also treats the anger outside the comedy. , sadness, shame, remorse... all included.
They talked about the moment that all women will face, and also condensed more complex emotions into a shadow. At that time, all the emotions on the way forward in our lives, believe me, there is always one you have encountered.
has a comment that sums up the very real emotions of the show:
The core of a comedy is tragedy, so I think a great comedy is not always full of all kinds of fulfillment, there must be regrets, there must be There must be something irreversible in the trough. We are happy about the reconciliation of Bonnie and Christine's mother-daughter relationship and sad about Christine's breakup with her own daughter; we are happy for Marjorie's cancer recovery and we are sorry for Adam's cancer;
We are for many Feeling happy about things and feeling sorry for and regretting more things, but this is life, we will not live in positive energy all the time, we will always be trapped in a low point at some point, but more importantly, don’t Give up, learn to struggle, learn to move on We still have a great future, and it's never too late to get out of the trough.
Yes, life will not be very complete, which is why many people are influenced by BE aesthetics for a long time, while some people think that family happiness is worthy of the audience.

There is always a solution
In domestic film and television dramas, we must have no shortage of dramas that tell the truth. In domestic film and television dramas, female characters are always forced to complete 'tasks' and 'obligations', Since childhood, I have been taught how to be a good girl and what to do at what age. This kind of life principle does not bring us the correct way of life, but we are more and more contrary.
is not married, has no children, and is independent.
We need to figure out that in today's era, what we lack most is the "big truth", but what to do when we encounter the most unlikely thing in life like in the play. In "Needless Mom", every cute and confident female image always warns us with her own problems. Don't worry if something happens, just solve it.
It said, maybe things have gone bad, regrettable, regretful; but don't dwell on it.
It says that no one is perfect, everyone understands the truth, it is better to focus on the present, and don't think too far into the future.
Producer's Chuck Lorre writes his message on his show finale producer card:
"Eight years ago we set out to make a comedy about hope. Hope for recovery from alcohol and drug addiction is Possibly. Hope it's been a journey full of love, friendship, and laughter. Hope people change, people forgiven, broken relationships repaired. And finally, life's ups and downs that never have to be faced alone . That's what we're here for, we're not a secret secret.
In these 170 episodes, we made some jokes on the theme of hope. On behalf of everyone involved in the production of Need for Mom, thank you for watching, thank you support. Most importantly, thanks to the belief that men and women have passed down from generation to generation:
There is always a solution.
