Warm, loyal PR executive Kate and her longtime friend, no-nonsense psychiatrist Anne, attend a judgmental mommies' group, where they meet timid IT tech Jenny and blindly optimistic real estate agent Frankie. The four quickly form an unlikely friendship, sharing struggles of urban motherhood filled with the chaos of toddlers, tantrums, careers, and identity crises, all while trying to achieve the holy grail: a sense of self. The ensemble comedy is largely drawn from the personal experiences of star/co-creator Catherine Reitman ("Blackish," "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia").

Valerie Anne Autostraddle 10/29/2021
It was instantly clear to me that Workin' Moms was bold and hilarious and raw and it not your everyday sitcom about modern motherhood. Go to Full Review

Mom-on-mom judgment still rankles. This show exposes its characters' humanity and fights back with funny. Go to Full Review
Amber Dowling Vox 10/04/2019
Privilege or not, any comedy that's willing to showcase the navel-gazing survival strategies of parents struggling to keep it all together while raising caring and decent human beings is a welcome addition to the pop culture landscape. Go to Full Review
Cristina Escobar LatinaMedia.Co 06/26/2021
We see the specter of motherhood, this role that is supposed to fulfill you but requires never-ending self-sacrifice, as what it is: really fucking hard. Go to Full Review

Cindy W Apr 21 This series is so funny! I loved every episode. I thought the actors were relatable and realistic. I’m watching the series for a second time! See more mapule m Apr 11 I hated it, you’d think that with character development and each season they evolved. The writers did a really bad job. Anne’s character gets worser every season, it’s like you’re holding your breath and when you want release she’s back into stupidity. She and her bestie, idk it’s a horrible show, that’s could’ve been written and better developed. We still don’t even know why Anne’s first marriage ended. No one’s growing, you can’t breathe through the show. The moms have money, like Kate and Sloane. What do you mean they’re struggling through that when in reality given how well off they’re? They can afford help. It’s a dumb show. Argh hated it. But it was a kill time I guess See more Ted C 10/09/2024 we watched this a while back, it is a lot of fun See more Sorayan E 05/02/2023 An out of touch tv soap with oversexed, model skinny, superficial "new" moms. Not sure how this got so many seasons as the humour is dry and the situations unrelatable. Sub-par acting makes it hard to get through the first two episodes. This is a miss. See more avery @Averylamont7 04/27/2023 the most amazing show i have watched in a very long time, its funny, heartwarming and I have become so attached to the characters through all the seasons, this show deserves all the credit it can get, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING See more viviana g 06/30/2022 It doens´t quite make it for me. It´s lacking timing and the performances are not so good. Everything is kind of goodish. See more Read all reviews
