Somebody Somewhere is the sweet HBO show that is way too underrated. Bridget Everett & co in season one were outstanding. So in February 2022, I was excited when the series was renewed for a second season. It was a short and sharp second seven episode season when which it premiered late April. Concluding this past Monday on Binge.
Concluding with a double wedding episode. The groom-to-be Fred Rococo, two of his closest friends are still at odds. Yes this season when Sam and Joel had a tiff after one of the sweetest friendships on TV right now.
This season they have experienced a lot together. Including a wild food poisoning scene. It was wild. Maybe the highlight of the season. Or when Sam (Everett) peed on the side of the road when the two were on a step mission.
Something close to my heart, chasing steps.
With two final (hopefully not final, final, the show is yet to be renewed) back-to-back episodes, a hurt Sam distances herself from Joel despite Fred’s attempts to bring the two pals back together.
However Joel crashes Sam and Fred’s ice cream date, they finally have the fight that was a long time coming. She confesses that she doesn’t want him to be her boyfriend, she just doesn’t him to leave her.
We can see the hurt and fear of abandonment all over Sam’s face, while Joel’s expression is painted with sorrow and regret.
While it may have been a bumpy ride this time around for our loveable Sam, she made huge strides in dealing with her emotions and relationships, which of course all hark back to the biggest loss of her life, that of her late sister Holly.
I did love the entire second season, however only over six weeks, it really went fast this year. One minute I had three HBO Sunday shows, now I am down to just the incoming The Idol.
Somebody Somewhere is truly excellent TV, streaming now on Binge.
