She’s smart, she’s sassy and she has a child – so yes, SMILF does means exactly what you’re thinking, but are too afraid to say out loud.
A very popular new show on Showmax this month, SMILF is just one of the many additions to the streaming TV service that gives you access to the best entertainment out there for just R99 per month, or free for DStv subscribers.
Every month, they are kind enough to send subscribers a full list of what’s being offered, and we chose a few of the best to share with you.
Although the name might conjure some negative, knee-jerk reactions, SMILF joins the growing list of series that get better with every episode you watch.
Here’s a synopsis of the show:
Bridgette Bird is a smart, scrappy, young single mom trying to navigate life in South Boston with an extremely unconventional family. She struggles to make ends meet, which leads her to impulsive and at times immature decisions. Above all, Bridgette wants to make a better life for her son.
