Overview
Katie Otto, a confident, unapologetic wife and mother of three, raises her flawed family in the wealthy town of Westport, Connecticut, filled with "perfect" mommies and their "perfect" offspring. Katie's perfectly imperfect world is upended when her neighbor's decision to move notches her up from her ideal social standing and sets her on a path to ensure that doesn't happen, regardless of the consequences.
Luckily, her husband, Greg Otto, supports her in every way possible, but with a dash of reality thrown in as they work to ensure their children do not end up like everyone else. However, that isn't going to be easy when her oldest teenage daughter, Taylor, is already set on the "perfect" path; middle son Oliver has one goal in life: to be rich; and her youngest, Anna Kat, needs a little extra help navigating life. Then there are her friends, Angela and Doris, who help Katie keep it all in perspective and are the allies she needs in a town where "keeping it real" is not a compliment.
Despite her flaws and unconventional ways, Katie ultimately only wants the best for her kids and will fight tooth-and-nail to instill some good old-fashioned values in them, if it's the last thing she does.

At first, it was a little unusual to start the fifth season, because both Anna-Kat and Doris and Angela were replaced by other actors, but I also liked the new characters, I love American housewife precisely because of the wonderful characters and the very cozy atmosphere.
I'm glad that Cooper's character has developed (his relationship with Katie is very sweet, how she pushed Oliver away for hugs with Cooper :D), and that Trip and Taylor haven't broken up after all, because I've already had doubts throughout watching this season whether they'll become endgames.
py.sy. the bloopers at the end, as always, are beautiful, I adore them with:
-Because I hate you more than I like myself! :D
