The Sad Truth About Christy Plunkett | Mom Analysis

Christy Plunkett spent seven seasons on Mom being the character you were supposed to root for. She got sober. She went back to school. She worked the program. And yet by the middle of the show, a huge part of the audience found her genuinely difficult to like — and the show never really addressed why. Here's what I think was actually happening. Christy spent seven seasons being furious at Bonnie for failing her. And she was right. But while she was busy holding Bonnie accountable, she was quietly repeating the same cycle on her own children. Not in the same way. But in every way that matters. This is my deep dive on Christy Plunkett — the character Mom asked you to root for, and what the show never quite said about her out loud. ───────────────────────────── 🔔 Subscribe for more character analysis and deep dives on Mom ───────────────────────────── Christy Plunkett, Bonnie Plunkett, Mom CBS, Mom TV show, Mom analysis, Christy Plunkett analysis, Mom character deep dive, Anna Faris Mom, Allison Janney Mom, Mom CBS finale, Christy and Bonnie, Mom TV show explained, the cycle Mom CBS, Violet Plunkett, Mom recovery show, Mom CBS analysis, Christy Plunkett explained, Mom sitcom, Chuck Lorre Mom, Mom character analysis, best CBS sitcoms, Mom season 7, Anna Faris leaving Mom, Mom tragic truth
