Somebody Somewhere is my latest HBO TV obsession. Forget Euphoria, the series everyone is talking/tweeting about. This is the real hidden gem of the latest TV season.
Lead by Bridget Everett, created by Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen, this seven episode gem premiered on January 16, 2022.
And just like that, the season finale has aired. Luckily earlier in February, the series was renewed for a well deserved second season.
The series which is inspired by the life of Bridget Everett who plays the lead role and is also an executive producer.
Jeff Hiller is a real scene stealer. From loving Zumba to singing, Hiller as Joel is a heart warming, fun friend that has a super relationship with lead Sam.
Also joining the cast are Mary Catherine Garrison, Danny McCarthy, Mike Hagerty, Murray Hill, Jon Hudson Odom, and Heidi Johanningmeier.
The series was filmed in suburban Chicago, primarily in Lockport and Warrenville.
The creators chose Chicago as a filming location because of the talent pool available; Hannah Bos said, "We cast a lot of roles out of Chicago, and the talent pool was insane. It was exciting to have so many choices for so many roles. I'm biased because I love the Chicago style of acting — which I feel is very grounded, very real, very nuanced — and we had many wonderful actors to draw on to fill our world in."
I loved this latest HBO comedy/drama. It was fun, heartfelt whilst being super entertaining over it's short seven episode run.
Being a HBO title of course this airs on Foxtel/Binge in Australia. Get around this original, delightful series NOW!
