The Plot…
Sam Loudermilk was once a popular music critic. Now Sam is a recovering alcoholic and substance-abuse group leader. Sam has a good heart, but an acid tongue. He doesn’t hesitate to give his opinions on the absurd things/people he comes in contact with. Sam’s best friends are his roomate, Ben (also a recovering alcoholic) and the regulars that attend his group sessions.
In season two Sam deals with…
- finding a new group meeting space
- Ben returns after marrying Loudermilk’s ex-wife
- Tony, a bookie, starts using the group to take bets
- Mugsy falls off the wagon and shows up to a meeting with a dart in his head
- Ben hits a homeless man’s golf cart and finds himself indebted to the man
- Loudermilk accidentally becomes a social media hit
- New guy tells one group member his deepest secret: he’s still a virgin
- New guy falls for a little person which leads to a love-triangle fight fundraiser
- Claire learns that her dad has died; Sam learns that his dad has died
- Sam’s dad impregnated a waitress in a one-night stand and now Sam has a baby brother
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
I just discovered Loudermilk this year. The series is funny and has heart. The supporting cast is a hoot. If you enjoy a fun 30 minute sitcom, give Loudermilk a shot.
“Loudermilk: Season 2” (2018) earns 4 of 5 stars.
