Somebody Somewhere is a unique portrayal of pain, acceptance, melancholy and wicked humour. Go to Full Review Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter 12/14/2023
What a rare blessing to savor a season so bursting with love that its emotional climax could only be powered by the strength of Bridget Everett’s voice. Go to Full Review Hugo Rifkind The Times (UK) 06/09/2023

Every episode feels like a cathartic ritual that leaves you breathless and slightly knocked over. Go to Full Review Mark Blankenship Primetimer 12/14/2023
Everett and Hiller’s chemistry makes them seem like actual soulmates. This duo could jazz up a trip to the morgue, and they certainly make it easy to watch seven half-hours of half-baked television. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jacob B @RT48293763 Jul 22 Gobsmacked! Not only did this derivative show get renewed, it got a Peabody award!?! What was award worthy? Maybe it was the banal set design and camera work? Maybe it was the base, improvised dialogue? (Altman could do this, but this director/cast/creator ain’t no Altman) Maybe it was the predictable, almost non existent plot? Maybe it was the totally unrealistic depiction of middle American small town life? For being formulaic and for checking every Special Interest box, it excels. Too bad it didn’t check the box for captivating drama. See more Beth T @RT47011611 02/04/2025 How in the world was this show not renewed? It has it all: humor, romance, emotional, fun, great acting. I LOVE this show and we need more like it. See more Izzy R @RT25439941 12/22/2024 Simple show, I loved it! See more Walter M @RT12653717 12/10/2024 By far one of the best shows , brilliant writing, cast, music all! I laugh and cry every episode. Truly makes you reexamine your life. See more Sydney C @RT35395029 10/29/2024 This season was so fantastic. The cast, as always, was wonderful. Loved the new additions. And the ending was absolutely perfect. Chef's kiss!!! See more Laura L @laurakali 09/18/2024 I’m late to this show and it’s fantastic. Shame on the streaming network for not advertising this gem. See more Read all reviews
