    Heartfelt tv show. My life is nothing like the lives you see on this show, but still I feel strongly connected on a human level.

    I did not see this coming, but I'm really enjoying it. Oddly, it's all the supporting people I like, vs. the main family/lead character. There's a fun cast, even if it's largely stacked with gay/lesbian/trans characters (Fred the professor is especially annoying and pandering), but I like the little universe its built. It's fun to see a dramedy where the lead character, thrust into a roleI did not see this coming, but I'm really enjoying it.

It's fun to see a dramedy where the lead character, thrust into a role as an adult for the first time in her life (in her 40's too, lol), scrambles to try and steer a deeply flawed ship. Joel is by far my favorite character. I feel I'd be lucky to count him as a friend.… Expand

    A gentle, human, funny show with an outstanding cast and a great setting. This show makes small town life look attractive. Mike Hagerty, Jeff Hiller, Murray Hill are all phenomenal. I could listen to these characters banter for hours.

    Bridget Everett’s subtle and charming performance is just one reason we like Somebody Somewhere. The first episode also does a good job setting up a great ensemble that we look forward to getting to know.

    A superb and instantly engrossing work, with Everett delivering a knockout performance as Sam.

    A spiky and endearing seven-part HBO series.
