It makes the show an amusing stylistic counterpoint to the overcaffeinated, beautiful, teen-focused Euphoria, which is one of this series’ Sunday night lead-ins. Even Sam and Tricia’s attempt to get their father Ed (Mike Hagerty) to recognize that their alcoholic mother Mary Jo (Jane Brody) needs to go to rehab again is presented in muted fashion - the siblings know this likely won’t accomplish anything, but they want to try something. She hits it off with Joel, but perhaps at the expense of his relationship with his partner Michael (Jon Hudson Odom), and she resents the academic standardized test company where they both work. We see Sam struggle to find common ground with Tricia (Mary Catherine Garrison), and wage half-baked stakeouts of Tricia’s potentially adulterous husband Rick (Danny McCarthy). (And, for that matter, with many of the best episodes of High Maintenance, where Bos and Thureen previously wrote.) Very little happens over the course of the seven-episode season, but this is the point. The Duplass brothers’ previous HBO series, the terrific but short-lived Togetherness, also dealt with middle-aged disappointment, and shares a knock-around, lo-fi charm with its successor. Somebody Somewhere was created by Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen and produced by Jay and Mark Duplass. She befriends former high-school classmate, Joel (Jeff Hiller), and confesses she never amounted to much “because I didn’t think I was any good.” When Joel asks what she’s referring to, she replies, “Everything.” She is in her forties, has never had any real direction, and only returned to her Kansas hometown to care for her other sister Holly as she died from cancer, then stayed for lack of a better plan. In the moment, Sam (Bridget Everett) acts offended by the question, but it’s one she privately asks herself all the time. We’re taking the audience on a thrill ride through our deep investigations into some of the most notorious crimes in American history.“What are you doing with your goddamn life?” Sam’s sister Tricia asks her in the first episode of the new HBO dramedy Somebody Somewhere. “We’re bringing Whitey Bulger, Albert DeSalvo, and even the great John Lennon to the stage. “The Boston theater scene has never experienced a show as intense as this one,” said Sherman and Wedge in announcing the show. ![]() Listening pleasure: Dark tales: Crime-writing duo launches serial killer podcast What is described as a live, immersive, multi-sensory storytelling experience, will star co-authors Sherman, a Barnstable High alum, and Wedge and feature an ensemble cast to perform “explosive scenes” from their true crime thrillers and “Saints, Sinners & Serial Killers” podcast.īooks covered will include “Search for the Strangler: My Hunt for Boston’s Most Notorious Killer” “Hunting Whitey: The Inside Story of the Capture & Killing of America’s Most Wanted Crime Boss “Bad Blood: Freedom & Death in the White Mountains” and “The Last Days of John Lennon,” written with James Patterson.
