With their new HBO series, Somebody Somewhere, the Duplass brothers have paved the way for a new genre: coming-of-middle-age. Cabaret performer and comedian Bridget Everett plays Sam, a standardized-test-and-essay scorer who, at 40, still lives with her parents in her hometown, Manhattan—Kansas, that is. Always a misfit, Sam tries to shake up her life following the death of her sister. What ensues is a moving and hilarious reflection on loss and belonging, with Sam getting involved in a whole host of juvenile high jinks. The show mixes wholesomeness and humor with drama. —Jacob Robbins
