As a hero of TV underdogs, I’m here to tell you to watch Somebody Somewhere

We live in a time when there is so much TV available to stream that you could spend the rest of your life scrolling past viable options and never actually engage. There are reboots and remakes and IP creations and prestige shows and famous actors making so much noise, driving you to commit to something and finally click play (or however remotes work now).

One of the consequences of this, besides the industry probably collapsing one day, is that smaller, quieter shows can sometimes get lost in the avalanche (Lost in the Avalanche sounds like an upcoming Lost spin-off). That’s why I am here, a great hero (woman who watches a lot of TV) representing the underdogs (underwatched television) to make sure that everyone knows about the lovely Somebody Somewhere. The third and final season has just begun, with new episodes dropping weekly.
