    What a beautiful season of television. I just love the show so much, and Bridget Everett is a revelation. Hollywood rarely finds this type of story with these kinds of actors, and I am just reveling in it.

    Emotional, positive and human type of series. Amazing acting, dialogues and story. Strongly recommended.

    The first season was fresh and heart-warming. However I found the second season somewhat mediocre and dull. I'm in the minority given the reviews and I'm pleased a show such as this has gained recognition but I wasn't fully engaged.

    Love this show. Quiet friendship. Lingering depression. Familial disappointments. I keep reading that the comedy is soft ,,, that’s nonsense. The comedy is real. Life is hard. Friendship and love help us through it. Thank you, Bridget.

    I'm a gay elder of color and this show is absolutely unfunny in almost every sense. What a godawful show.

    Somebody Somewhere has a knack for spiky sentimentality that goes for the jugular. It is impressively opposed to the idea of showiness or razzmatazz, but even in its quietest moments, it is dazzling stuff.

    It feels improvised, as if this conversation over a bottle of Pinot Grigio would play out exactly like this even if we weren’t watching. This is the beauty of Somebody Somewhere. ... Where Succession and Barry can reach almost Shakespearean heights of intensity with their big, dramatic twists and metaphorical as well as literal violence, Somebody Somewhere is deliberately small and focused. ... Somebody Somewhere has a way of reminding you to feel grateful for every molecule of oxygen that’s still filling your lungs.

    Somebody Somewhere has that settled-in feeling that make good shows become terrific shows in their second seasons. Some characters may be gone, but the show’s comedic core and its heart are still there, and we’ll follow its slice-of-Midwest-life vibe for the entire season.
