It is remarkable the extent to which this show can and does burrow into your heart.
-
Sometimes a benign comedy, like Mackenzie Crook’s Detectorists, can really do the business. And that applies to Somebody Somewhere (out on Sky Comedy/Now), which has done its own beautiful thing for two series, with a third and final one now arriving quietly, unobtrusively and rather brilliantly.
-
Just as magical as ever, the final season of “Somebody Somewhere” is a stunningly honest depiction of friendship, grace and courage.
-
Life-affirming and emotionally intelligent, sweet and tender, truly funny and not just “funny for a drama.” The HBO series remains all of these things from start to finish, though it’s notably brighter now, both in tone and palette, than it was in Season 1.
-
Somebody Somewhere looks like its going to end the way it began, as a funny, emotional, poignant show with characters we love to spend time with.
-
It would be so easy to make Trish a villain. To make the storylines of this show hinge on queer trauma or the pain of red-state politics. But nothing is so simple. Everything is just beautifully, heartachingly normal, hard, mean, and happy, all at once.
-
From dressing rooms to road trips, it’s a delight whenever these two [Sam and Tricia] share the screen, and there’s a conversation between them in the Season 3 finale that gives everything a full-circle, cathartic feel fitting for a series finale.
-
The highlights of this final season—the moments that will stick with you after the credits roll—don’t come in the form of these highs or lows, these giggle fests or friend-to-friend therapy sessions. There are a few genuinely sweet scenes—not too many to dull the emotional wallop—that will surely make you well up, notably a performance of a song Brad and Sam wrote for Joel and a few key, strategically placed interactions with a new character.
