#BRIDGET EVERETT BOYFRIEND SERIES#
If we already knew about the comic histrionics of Bridget Everett for her specials for Comedy Central and her participation in Inside Amy Schumer (Amy is kind of like her mentor), Someone in some place the show is also very ductile to face dramatic situations in a series that, beyond its short duration, gets into issues such as sexual and gender identities (very good contributions from the Drag King Murray Hill without falling into the stereotypes of a queer story ), religion, cheating within marriage, the aforementioned alcoholism, drug trafficking and the anguish and misery typical of any small-town dynamic with a fairly closed community. Her only friend, confidante and fan is Joel (Jeff Hiller, excellent), a co-worker who used to be a partner in a youth choir long ago and who is going through his own existential anguish (he is separating from his boyfriend).
#BRIDGET EVERETT BOYFRIEND PROFESSIONAL#
, an alcoholic mother (Jane Drake Brody) and a lovable but bumbling father (Mike Hagerty) who does what he can to support the farm.Ī talented singer, Sam once dreamed of being a professional on stage, but like everything else in her life, it has gone downhill.
In the midst of the pain of such a loss, she must deal with a miserable job (corrects exams), living alone in quite precarious conditions and with a clearly dysfunctional family with another sister with whom she gets along very badly (Mary Catherine Garrison’s Tricia Miller). In this series conceived by Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen, which is also executive produced by the brothers Jay and Mark Duplass (Jay is also the director of three episodes, including the pilot and the finale), Bridget Everett plays Sam, a Forty-something who has returned to her hometown of Kansas (from that place called Manhattan is Everett herself) shortly before the death of her sister Holly. And one to the measure of his immense talent. She is also a veteran woman by industry standards (next April she will turn 50) and yet, after a long career in various artistic disciplines such as stand-up comedy, cabaret, music and the acting ( Patti Cake$, for example), finally gets his first leading role. Let’s start with the obvious and without politically correct euphemisms: Bridget Everett is obese and that already makes her a welcome rarity in times of normative bodies. Now, the seven deliveries are available on the HBO Max platform and -although this story, like its protagonist, are one of the best kept secrets of these times- it is well worth taking a walk to discover one of the surprises of this first two-month period of 2022. Almost without promotion (in Argentina, its press agency did not even send a news release), HBO premiered on January 17, well after midnight, the first episode of Someone in some place, a miniseries that ended on February 28 with the broadcast of the seventh and final chapter.
