If You Love Workin' Moms, Then These Series Need to Be Added to Your Must-Watch List

If you haven't yet discovered Workin' Moms on Netflix, then you are missing out on one of the most accurate portrayals of motherhood that you'll ever find on TV. The Canadian dramedy series follows four friends — an ambitious PR executive, a no-nonsense psychiatrist, an IT tech with an identity crisis, and an unfailingly optimistic real estate agent — who share a bond as women attempting to balance careers and family. From postpartum depression to the agonies of breastfeeding, this series is never afraid to show the less glamorous side of being a new mom. Though there is nothing quite like the three seasons we've already been gifted of this series, these 15 equally hilarious series about motherhood, parenting, and struggling to "have it all" will definitely appeal to any fan of Workin' Moms.

01
The Letdown
Netflix

The Letdown

This Australian comedy series follows the tales of Audrey, a quirky first-time mom who joins an oddball mothers' group and ends up meeting a cast of new friends along the way. The first two seasons are available to stream on Netflix now, and though we haven't received any official word about a third season, we definitely will be let down if we don't get one.

Watch The Letdown on Netflix.

SMILF

SMILF

This tragically short-lived Showtime series follows the misadventures of Bridgette Bird, a young single mother from South Boston who attempts to make ends meet and give her son, Larry, the best life she can — though this often leads to her making some pretty foolish decisions. The hilarious show was canceled after only two seasons, but the good news is you can binge this whole series in a weekend.

Watch SMILF on Hulu.

03
Single Parents
ABC

Single Parents

As the title suggests, this ABC sitcom is about a group of single parents who form their own support group to help them all face the challenges of raising children single-handedly. With a cast that includes Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester, Saturday Night Live's Taran Killam, and Scandal's Kimrie Lewis, this is a single-parents group we definitely want in on.

Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce
Bravo

Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce

Based on the Girlfriends' Guides book series by Vicki Iovine, this Bravo comedy-drama revolves around self-help author Abby McCarthy and her group of gal pals who help her face the impending end of her marriage. The series ran for five seasons, exploring both the funny and tragic moments of raising children and maintaining friendships in the face of divorce.

05
Yummy Mummies
Netflix

Yummy Mummies

While this mommy clique isn't quite as relatable as the crew from Workin' Moms, these fabulously wealthy mom BFFs from Australia are just as entertaining to watch. The reality series follows four besties as they struggle with the challenges of pregnancy and then, in the second season, explore the pressing choices and questions of new mothers in the upper crust.

Dead to Me
Netflix

Dead to Me

This dark comedy from Liz Feldman, the writer of 2 Broke Girls, tells the story of an unlikely friendship that blossoms between Judy, a free spirit played by Linda Cardellini, and Jen, a hotheaded widow played by Christina Applegate. If you think Workin' Moms has some awesome dysfunctional female friendships, then you'll love the complicated Jen-Judy dynamic (especially since it's coming back for a second season!).

Friends from College
Netflix

Friends from College

While these former Harvard classmates (thankfully) aren't parents quite yet, they're still struggling just as much to keep their careers and personal lives together as the ladies of Workin' Moms. This series was canceled way too soon after just two seasons, but if you ever feel like life isn't nearly as easy as other people make it look, then you'll find solace with this crew.

08
I'm Sorry
Netflix

I'm Sorry

Actress, comedian, and writer Andrea Savage stars in this situational comedy as Andrea Warren, a young writer attempting to balance motherhood, marriage, her career, and her social life while living in suburban LA (and often floundering along the way). Though only the first season is available on Netflix now, we imagine season two will be available to stream any day now, and — in other good news — there's definitely going to be a third season as well.

Watch I'm Sorry on Netflix.

09
Fleabag
Everett Collection

Fleabag

This quirky series revolves around the titular Fleabag (played by the show's creator, Phoebe Waller-Bridge), who, though childless, carries around burdens of her own as she navigates life and love in London with her trademark dry wit. Waller-Bridge confirmed that the series won't be returning for a third season, but you can still watch the hilarious first two seasons now on Amazon Prime.

Catastrophe
Everett Collection

Catastrophe

When an American in London meets an Irish teacher, neither of them expects that their fun, no-strings-attached affair will end in a pregnancy — or that they'll then decide to keep the child. This laugh-out-loud series follows Rob and Sharon as they struggle to find love, then marriage, after the child has already come.

Watch Catastrophe on Amazon Prime.

Good Girls
NBC

Good Girls

How far would a good mother go to provide for her children? Sisters Beth and Annie and their best friend Ruby answer that question when these three moms work together to pull off a heist that could solve all of their individual financial woes — but that perfect plan, of course, comes with plenty of unexpected complications.

Watch Good Girls on Netflix.

12
Mom
CBS

Mom

The only thing more difficult than being a single mom of two struggling to maintain newfound sobriety is having your passive-aggressive, recovering-alcoholic mother drop unexpectedly into your life. Despite the challenges presented by her mother — and by her married lover and her irresponsible ex — Christy simply does everything she can to be the best mom she can be (though those good intentions don't always work out as planned).

Watch Mom on Hulu.

Santa Clarita Diet
Netflix

Santa Clarita Diet

As far as we know, no one on Workin' Moms has an appetite for human flesh, but Joel and Sheila prove that — bloodsucker or not — life as a parent is anything but effortless. This show was unfairly canceled after three seasons, but you can still binge it all on Netflix.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
Everett Collection

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

It's true that Rebecca Bunch is not a mother herself (which is probably for the best) and that the ladies of Workin' Moms are as unlikely to burst into song as Rebecca is to raise a child. But the struggles of Rebecca and her BFF Paula (who is, in fact, a working mother of two) will remind you that no one has it all together — even if they can improvise a great song or two along the way.

Schitt's Creek
POP

Schitt's Creek

Are Johnny and Moira attentive parents? No. Did they raise their children to be productive and passionate individuals? Absolutely not. But this Canadian TV series (which tells the story of the Roses, who lose everything and end up in a small town that Johnny once purchased as a joke) is sure to give you major Workin' Moms vibes, despite the poor work ethic and even worse parenting displayed by the Rose family.
