Somebody Somewhere is about finding your voice and your people — sometimes where you least expect it. The HBO series explores big themes like grief, vulnerability, and the complexity of family with nuance and compassion. 

On Season 2, Sam navigates caring for her ailing and difficult mother while still grieving the loss of her sister. There are also revelations about her sister and changes to her relationship with best friend Joel (Jeff Hiller) that threaten to send Sam spiraling.
