Somebody Somewhere is a unique portrayal of pain, acceptance, melancholy and wicked humour. Go to Full Review Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter Dec 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) Jun 9, 2023
It's a slow, gentle comedy about . . . hmmm. Go to Full Review Belen Edwards Mashable Dec 14, 2023
Everyone everywhere should treasure it. Go to Full Review Mariana Delgado That Shelf Dec 14, 2023
Every episode feels like a cathartic ritual that leaves you breathless and slightly knocked over. Go to Full Review Mark Blankenship Primetimer Dec 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

Kalissa H. @kali_416 Jun 19, 2026 The quality was kept up from season one! Joel and Brad’s romance was cute! Sam showed some growth by the end of the season. Plenty of laughs, but not overly so. I was sad about Darlene, but it was balanced by the joy of Fred and Susan’s wedding. It’s just a great show. See more Jacob B @RT48293763 Jul 22, 2025 Gobsmacked! Not only did this 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 Feb 4, 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 Dec 22, 2024 Simple show, I loved it! See more Walter M @RT12653717 Dec 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 Oct 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!!!
