Watchseries; I am not a "misfit" in the traditional sense but this show TOTALLY nails the feeling of not being good enough, not fitting in, not feeling like you're "doing life right"... y'know, the feeling EVERYONE has to some degree or other. It's so relatable. And incredibly heartwarming already, only two episodes in (I teared up at some point watching each of them!).
I love these characters. I am already rooting for them and I'm not even sure what I'm rooting for -- I just know I want to be friends with them. SUCH good acting that feels so real, you seriously just feel like you're hanging around quirky, interesting, sometimes funny people, rather than watching people act.
Really looking forward to more!

Somebody Somewhere watchseries. I can so relate to the characters. So easy to watch and enjoy. It's warm and funny. It also deals with real life issues. I have watched every episode so far and will be watching again! Already looking forward to season 2!
This is so good that I'm worried it won't continue. The type of humor and storyline may not be for everyone, but I love it and hope enough people are like me and it stays in production.
The memories many have, of not quite fitting in in high school, of being the butt of cruel jokes and gossip then and sometimes decades later, especially if you're from a small town or community. Of still trying to be a good person, do good work and have a good life, but the losses, the banality of the privileged and being made to feel unwanted and weird because of how you look, who you love or don't love begin to add up and you feel lost and maybe even a loser.
The pilot introduced the main character through her current living situation and parts of her past which are revealed during conversations and reminiscences with others. It's done in a subtle way that fits the succinct honesty I remember well growing up in the rural South. It was suggested Sam had a romantic relationship with another woman before in a way that positively normalized there are millions of same gender relationships that loving and they miss someone now gone just like anyone else.
The new/old acquaintances Sam meets in an "underground" church clearly show a range of personalities, ethnicities and suggested gender or sexualities who welcoming and comfortable around each other because they are their Real selves. That's it's more about finally finding a supportive group of people who accept and appreciate you for who you are, instead of attempting to force you into roles or to be autamatons they think you should be to keep them comfortable. And ironically, which many of them force roles or criticize others because they're trying to redirect away from their own repressed feelings, desires and emotions.
This was a pleasantly surprising start to series that occasionally features naturally occurring humor, but I certainly would not label it in any way a comedy. I found the pilot to perfectly understated yet powerful.
Just a real show about people who don't have their life together. I always end up with a smile on my face and laughing out loud. It's an enjoyable 30min show.
Unbelievably original, heartwarming and so relatable, especially for Gen X'ers. When I saw her pull out the yearbook and it was class of 87' I said, "yep, this is for me." So I watched the entire episode and it was fantastic. One of the best new shows on TV. If you see low reviews please ignore them. It's most likely millennial knuckleheads who only watch brainless superhero movies. This new show is a gem. And it's for us Gen Xers. Watch it.
