Critics Consensus
Led by a captivating Bridget Everett, Somebody Somewhere explores the human condition with tenderness, grace, and warmth.
Inkoo Kang The New Yorker Guided by its relaxed plotting, Somebody Somewhere is the kind of deceptively simple show where its finely calibrated creative decisions are rendered invisible. Jun 2, 2023 Full Review Andrew Male Times (UK) Not a laugh-riot then, but a naturalistic small-town drama about family, friendship and grief with a flawless supporting cast... Aug 5, 2022 Full Review Lili Loofbourow Slate Somebody Somewhere is, despite some depressive trappings, a shockingly optimistic series whose small but frankly rather revolutionary thesis is that you can not only go home again but find a way to actually belong. Apr 6, 2022 Full Review Dónal Lynch Sunday Independent (Ireland) This clever and funny story of a woman losing purpose as she returns to her hometown takes that particular skill to new and brilliant levels. Jan 29, 2024 Full Review Kevin Fallon The Daily Beast Bridget Everett is a force. Dec 27, 2022 Full Review Michael Frank Paste Magazine Though not extraordinary in its portrayal of these characters, the series excels in its tangible sense of humanity, looking at this town with extreme care. Sam deserves to be loved, just like everyone else in Somebody Somewhere. Rated: A Aug 16, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
paul b This series is extremely good not quite like anything else I’ve seen recently Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/25 Full Review Camille H Hilarious, moving, and real dialogue that I would have watched 15 seasons of. I’m sad it was canceled but so grateful for being lucky enough to experience this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/25 Full Review Izzy R Simple show, love it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Sterling L Why can't all TV be this good? Everett--and the rest of the cast -- are so insanely authentic and natural that I occasionally forgot this wasn't a documentary. I wish I was as half as talented in my job as they are in theirs. And combine all this awesome acting with a story about finding connection and humanity in unlikely locations and dark circumstances and you walk away feeling hopeful for tomorrow. In short, BRAVO Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Gisela F Authentic. Raw, pure, realistic feelings and thoughts that we all struggle with sometimes, performed by incredible actors. Depth and humour, in a perfect dance. So glad that I stumbled upon this one 🙌😍 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review Flat E Overrated cr@p for the WOKIES! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
