Netflix has a series called ‘ Loudermilk’. For some reason I thought it was new. I started watching and after the first episode I knew I’d be binging it. I looked at how many episodes that would be. That’s when I see it’s season 1 of three, and came out in 2020!
My first reaction was, "you dick, you always check when it came out, but not this time!’
Then the realisation that I have nearly three seasons to go. But will it go to shiit after season 1 or 2?
Then after a bit of a background check, I find, although it suggests it is in Seattle, it is filmed in Vancouver, and nearly all the actors are Canadian.
Which brings me to another point…..how the hell did you not mention this show
@globaleagle !?
( unless of course you thought it was shiit).
It is some of the best dark comedy writing and acting I’ve seen or heard. It’s like the writers have gone fuk it. Let’s pretend we’re not in Canada 2020-23. Fuk PC. Let’s tackle real world addictive issues in what I call, "laughter is the best medicine to overcome adversity". The writing and acting continue to get better as the series progresses. I tried to think of what it reminds me of, but the shows that it did remind me of a little ( night court, faulty towers, the young ones, love thy neighbour) they were all 70’s and 80’s shows, where you could get away with pretty much anything. And they never were meant to be anything but comedies of that era.
They don’t come close to the highly impressive way that the writers, producers handle the subject of alcoholism, and drugs in general in this era. Also the way they handle gender identity politics, pronouns, different generations.( It’s not a bash the millennials throughout, my generation comes in for a bit of stick as well). But it’s wrapped tightly in intellectual comedy writing, you just have to concede, " yeah you got me there".
If you like your comedies a bit on the dark side, while appreciating some of the best one liners, and rapid fire acting, this is it.
