British Comedy Guide, 1st February 2017Top 40 TV Shows of 2016: #19 Mum
There was something masterful about this warm yet wry sitcom by Stefan Golaszewski (the force behind the superb Him and Her) about a grieving family.
Sarah Carson, Radio Times, 26th December 2016Mum, series 1 review
This comedy is an exploration of a variety of humanity's biggest fears, spanning from bereavement and loneliness to relationships and family values. Humble and sympathetic, Mum presents a narrative that has plenty of scope to flourish within a second series.
Becca Moody, Moody Comedy, 25th June 2016Mum deserves an instant recommission. Every single week it has impressed in precisely the way Love, Nina hasn't. The subtlety of Kelly's (Lisa McGrillis) progression, from - yes, OK - gauche moron to a credible three dimensions has delighted all; Dorothy Atkinson steals most scenes; Lesley Manville remains with, sublimely, her best lines still inside her for a new series.
Euan Ferguson, The Observer, 19th June 2016Review: Mum, episode 6, BBC2
Well, we say final episode but as anyone who has been following this brilliant series by Stefan Golaszewski will probably know by now there is going to be a second series. A good decision from the BBC, flying the flag for a quality comedy that may not be laugh a minute but has bags of nuance and excellent performances from its ensemble cast.

British Comedy Guide, 17th June 2016Mum had a masterful send-off for a sitcom - review
Bar the odd irresistible pursuit of a gag for the gag's sake, the scripts by Stefan Golaszewski purred as satisfyingly as anything in The Royle Family.
Jasper Rees, The Telegraph, 17th June 2016Mum: wonderful, heart-felt, low-key comedy
From the creator of Him & Her, Mum tells an affecting story and boasts an excellent cast in Lesley Manville and Peter Mullan...
