SMILF • Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Troy Patterson
I am charmed by Shaw's way of sketching her character, Bridgette Bird, in brazen strokes of absurdity and delicate gestures of woe.
The New Yorker
Adam Wilson
The Greater Boston of SMILF is neither the lite liberal enclave that some people fear it is nor the Irish-Catholic gangland of Hollywood's imagination, but a city full of quiet tensions.
The Week
Lili Loofbourow
Ignore its name. SMILF, Frankie Shaw's show, which premiered last night, is a crusty, tender masterpiece.
Refinery29
Ariana Romero
Bridgette is the best new character on television.
TV Worth Watching
David Bianculli
The first few episodes are a bit wobbly, but Shaw's Bridgette is likable even when doing unlikable things and SMILF has the benefits of two supporting players playing significantly, and successfully, against type.

There are very good performances in the corners of the show.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Dominic Patten
The series pops off the small screen.
TV Fanatic
Paul Dailly
It's taken almost seven years, but Showtime has finally found the perfect series to pair with Shameless.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
But then, in episode three, Shaw seems to find her footing, and I found myself thinking that SMILF could develop a Shameless-like charm.
The Hollywood Reporter
Tim Goodman
[Frankie] Shaw is such a dynamic presence, oddly beautiful without being blow-dried and lacquered with make-up, believable in sweats and slides but also transcending them.
New York Times
James Poniewozik
SMILF is rough but scrappy, like the street basketball Bridgette plays. It dribbles, it head-fakes, and you never quite know in which direction it will make its next move.
Los Angeles Times
Lorraine Ali
The show, which premieres Sunday, is a candid, funny and raw take on how socio-economics and gender affect opportunity, and boy does life at the bottom look different from a female perspective.
AV Club
Alex McLevy
SMILF can sometimes be all over the map, narratively, but in ways that feel true to life, a messiness of necessity for a woman who resists the daily indignities with a fierce determination and blunt openness.
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
... there's little about "SMILF" that distinguishes it from a raft of similar shows that have come and gone - and will keep coming and going.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Jen Chaney
Everything that happens in that part of the episode is consistently surprising, engrossing, and steeped in an environment that feels authentic. Watching what happens between Bridgette and this man feels like watching real life unfold.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
What SMILF does well, it does really well. There are signs of a good series, with the potential to improve.
Uproxx
Alan Sepinwall
In the early stages, unfortunately, the bad Showtime traits are winning out over the good ones.
Variety
Maureen Ryan
SMILF rarely slows down often enough to focus on just one idea or promising story thread.
Newsday
Verne Gay
Shaw's good but her televised autobiography is a work in progress that can't quite settle on tone, meaning or direction. Even the series title is frustrating.
IndieWire
Ben Travers
You won't spend long dwelling on the title, but you'll want to stick with this story.
