Single Drunk Female

What I really admire about this series is it's ability to walk the fine line where you try to be funny, but you also try not to make fun of alcoholics and the disease of alcoholism. I think Single Drunk Female accomplishes this, which I think is very, very difficult to achieve. Some people are saying this isn't a comedy, but I think it definitely is. Then again, if you're expecting a comedy like "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" or "Girls5eva"...well, it's not that kind of comedy.

Sofia Black-De'Elia, a doppelganger for a young Rachel Weisz, does a great job in the lead role of Samantha. The pleasant treat/surprise is Ally Sheedy returning with her first significant gig in a long time in the role of Samantha's Mom. I thought she would just be mailing in the performance because, hey, she's Ally Sheedy, and she's more famous than all the other people on this show put together, so what does she care? It turns out, she cares a lot, and does a great job.

My only mild criticism of this show is the casting, which tries too hard to be very "woke", which I didn't think was necessary. Then again, I'm 60 years old, and I'm sure I'm not the target audience for this series.

Like it because it's something I can relate to right now and I need to watch shows like this. I've watched all the episodes that have aired so far( I think 3) and I'm liking it. I was looking at the mother the whole time and couldn't figure out who she is/ was and duh it's Ally Sheedy! Anyways yes it's cliche but i need this kind of thing atm..

I'm only two episodes in. So far I like the show, it's promising. Let's see how it develops. The topic - sobriety - is important and interesting. It's definitely more a drama than a comedy. The setting and the mood is realistic and respectful, neither overly dramatic nor ridiculous nor sappy. The actors so far are very good.

If you're at all interested in the topic give it a go!

I like sitcoms that keep me hooked, thats what it does. You really root for the main character. Great character development. Although someone did leave a rating that said 'alcoholism lite', which is true. If you're looking to see someone struggle with recovery in alcoholism, eh. Although they do reference the program a bunch.

I had no idea what to expect, but the acting is exceptional. The concept is original and the script is well written. It definitely kept me interested and wanting more.
