Game of Thrones' Cersei Lannister has ranked among television's best mothers.
Using a social listening data tool called Search Linkfluence, thortful compiled a list of the fictional mothers most mentioned on social media in the last 12 months, between Feb. 11, 2020 and Feb. 9, 2021. The list is separated into five tiers: God, Good, Meh, Oh Dear and Didn't Make the Cut. Lena Headey's Cersei Lannister made it to the Good Tier, being mentioned in 68,312 social media posts.
According to thorftul, Cersei was a "rogue addition" to this list as "one of the most divisive on-screen moms, yet despite her villainy, she was definitely dedicated to her children -- not that it helped any of them too much!" Cersei comes just in between Miranda Bailey from Grey's Anatomy, who raked in 80,241 posts, and Molly Weasley from Harry Potter, with 58,390 posts.
By comparison, Mary Poppins came out at the top of the list in God Tier with 288,769 mentions across social media, second place was Community's Shirley Bennet with 126,855 mentions and third place being Morticia Addams from The Addams Family with 120,610 mentions.
The moms that came in with the lowest mentions were Claire Dunphy from Modern Family with 9,762 posts, Marmee from Little Women with 5,850 posts and Elena Richardson from Little Fires Everywhere coming in last with 5,596.
