S1E1: Mom The S1E1 Podcast

"Mom" is a sitcom that premiered on CBS and had an eight season run from 2013-2021. The show stars Anna Faris as Christy, a single mother who is a recovering alcoholic and a waitress. Another series from the mind of creator Chuck Lorre, but "Mom" drew a lot of its inspiration from co-creator Gemma Baker's experiences growing up with a mother in addiction recovery. As result the show tackles themes that aren't often explored through the eyes of the main character. The show received positive reviews from critics throughout its run for its handling of sensitive topics while still being able to find a nice balance and keep the tone of the show generally fun and entertaining.
The show garnered several award nominations and wins, including multiple Primetime Emmy Awards and Critics' Choice Television Awards. But can "Mom" find a way to win over the S1E1 boys while tackling heavy issues in its pilot? Listen as they deep dive the shows first episode.
