Lately I’ve been super obsessed with the show mom one of the main characters Bonnie Plunkett. It had me thinking I’ve been really loving the characters that have had a wild past made a LOT of mistakes (hot messes if you will) but are trying to better themselves, they slip up and stumble a lot you can see how tough their self improvement journey is but they try and they’re extremely funny the kind of humor that’s just so effortless and they’re so quick with it. They’re also very very raunchy which I loooove. Bonnie plunkett is an alcoholic and drug addict amongst other things who goes to AA meetings to try and stay sober mainly so she could repair her relationship with her daughter Christy who’s also an alcoholic that goes to these same AA meetings you could see throughout the show their relationship does get better there’s of course always a back and forth with these two and Bonnie still remains to be a hot mess but she’s a sober hot mess she’s developed healthy and loving relationships with people around her she continues to try and make things right with her daughter and is still extremely funny and soo herself ugh I just love her and love this show so much. I need another show with that type of character. Ive watched a couple of shows with hot mess characters that try to get it together but they still continue to be hot messes haha but I mean the effort does bring results at times which is soo real.
