It is truly commendable how Workin’ Moms delivers a harsh blow draped in a dose of laughter, isn’t it? While I could begin this discussion by highlighting how important it is to address the struggles of being a working mom, the series does scream all of these facts on its own. A baby isn’t just a responsibility and work does not need to be prioritized last. Achieving the correct balance between giving importance to a baby and focusing on the career is no easy feat and Workin’ Moms stresses this right balance eloquently.
Set in the urban city, of Toronto, Workin’ Moms has been a leading show of its genre. The recipient of several accolades and an Emmy nomination, Workin’ Moms is one of the best Canadian comedy drama’s out there. Possessing over 80 episodes to its name, the series landed a seventh season on Netflix recently. So, without wasting even a minute more, let us dive into Workin’ Moms Season 7 review and ending explained!
Workin’ Moms Season 7 Begins With A Blast
Created by Catherine Reitman, Workin’ Moms has been entertaining viewers since 2017. It dropped on Netflix in 2019 and has stuck by ever since. Now, with Workin’ Moms Season 7, Reitman is bidding farewell to the series but she ain’t going out without a bang!
The series commences with Kate Foster (Catherine Reitman) and Anne Carlson (Dani Kind) on a phone call as Anne is on a jog. A few minutes later, Anne sees a car approaching her at an unusual pace. She is frozen over and is exhilarated to witness life shine in front of her eyes before the car hits her. As Kate and Anne’s husband, Lionel Carlson (Ryan Belleville), witness Anne acting strangely, they get worked up. The doctor tries to convince both of them that it is just the trauma but their intuition doesn’t agree with Dr Badge.
They are proven right when Anne’s behaviour turns abnormal and she keeps smiling like a lunatic. Anne goes on to buy a spider with Kate even though the Carlson couple is absolutely scared of the animal. Anne has started to feel exhilarated after the accident since according to her, it has made her appreciate life. Meanwhile, Kate has a new client–and disaster–awaiting her.
The Pressure Is Distributed Equally On These Workin’ Moms
This comedy-drama, Workin’ Moms, is notorious for its subtle jokes and focus on feminism. This new season does not contradict the path laid out by its predecessors. Kate is approached by Ram, who wants to promote a new drug. On the surface, it is just another drug and publicity event for Kate. Only, the drug is a contraceptive for men. Also, Ram isn’t just looking for someone to handle the event, he wants people to connect with it. Though the idea looks fresh enough, it is a challenging campaign given that this new drug is the first of its kind.
Meanwhile, our bold editor, Sloane Mitchell (Enuka Okuma), is back to the job–with her baby, Owen. She believes nothing has changed and she is still the same person who could complete a book in an hour but her perception is proven wrong. While all her colleagues are glad to have her back, they aren’t necessarily thrilled with watching Sloane breastfeed and change diapers. When a meeting goes wrong, Sloane is cornered and forced to prioritize her job, leaving Owen under her husband’s care.
Then we have Jenny Matthews (Jessalyn Wanlim) who is looking for a new job in Kate’s P. R. agency. She becomes assistant to Rosie Phillips (Nikki Duval) but her obnoxiously loud and filter-less tongue proves to be a hassle. On the other hand, Anne is still dealing with anger management on top of her newly found exhilaration. Her husband, Lionel, and her daughter, Alice (Sadie Munroe), are quite worried regarding Anne’s health. Moreover, Alice plans to go to Australia and Kate’s son is dealing with a nasty breakup.
Workin’ Moms Season 7 Ending: The Mommy And Me Class Comes To An End
Throughout the 11 episodes out of 13, the struggle to balance family and work goes on with these working moms doing their best. Kate’s promotion goes well. Nathan (Philip Sternberg), Kate’s husband, supports her, Kate moves into a new office and a new project. Jenny has realized that she cannot be an assistant. Sloane has left the job since she understands how it feels to be neglected by your mother.
Sloane decides to prioritise her baby and has chosen to be a stay-at-home mother. Kate makes Nathan Jr. (Kyle Breitkpf) understand that heartbreak does not mean the end of the world. Anne has overcome her trauma and comes to terms with Alice living away from her. Initially, Anne was against Alice’s plans but when Alice decided to stay with her, Anne couldn’t take it. She didn’t want her daughter to make the same mistakes she did and forced her to go to Australia despite Alice’s painful breakup.
Valerie Szalinsky (Sarah McVie) gives her ex a piece of her mind. She reconciles shortly with him only to dump him again. Val is getting married and Jenny has understood the true meaning of motherhood. With each of these working moms having their happy endings, the Mommy and Me class comes to an end and so does Netflix’s popular series.
Workin’ Moms Season 7 Review: A Refreshingly Kicking Tale Of Motherhood, Feminism And Self-Priority
While there are too many characters in this series, none of them proves to be dull. Each of these working moms has their own refreshing take on motherhood with someone sacrificing their job to the other standing firm against the concept. All of these prove that there is no set of rules to be followed, and that motherhood does not come with a manual. It is a crucial task to not lose their true identity while raising a child and becoming a mother.
Each episode of 22-25 minutes narrates an interesting story with the cast members doing a brilliant job. However, I found the plot to be exaggerated in the middle episodes. That does not take away the essence. And does not stop Workin’ Moms from receiving a 7 on 10 from me.
