Mom
65Worth an evening.
The subject is one of the best on television. The jokes are not for a child in the room.
The review
Allison Janney and Anna Faris play women who have already done the damage and are trying not to do the next day of it. The writers built a show about AA and then dressed it as a network sitcom, which means the truth arrives wearing a dirty joke. The truth is still the truth. A thirteen-year-old is the wrong age for the costume.
Adults, if you can stand the mouth. Do not leave it running because the title sounds soft. If addiction is a fact in your family, there are plainer ways to talk about it than this.
Journal
Keep Mom in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 65. Yours can differ.
The glance
Temperance is the thin one.
Is appetite shown and then put down, or are you being trained to want the next one?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Bluey
78 instead of 65
Bluey is still a comedy show, and it scores 78 instead of 65. What you gain is temperance: Feelings are named and then put back in proportion.
The eight
- 6Industry
Waitressing, meetings, the daily labor of not picking up the drink.
- 8Household
A broken house trying, in public, to become a house again.
- 5Piety
The meeting is a confession. It is the closest thing the show has to a church, and it is not nothing.
- 8Courage
Sobriety, a day at a time, is courage with no audience.
- 6Republic
A circle of women who answer for each other.
- 4Temperance
The theme is temperance. The dialogue is not. Sex jokes are the house style.
- 8Truth
Almost nobody is allowed a glamorous lie about the bottle.
- 7Stewardship
What they are handing on is a meeting, if you can hear it under the laugh.
