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.
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.
It's an admirable portrait of a character in a social class that's underrepresented on TV, but it's more depressing than entertaining. The struggle is real - but it's not funny.
