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 three Sam deals with…

  • being forced to “parent” his baby brother
  • Ben’s talents as a chef
  • Ben starting a food truck
  • the legal fallout from golfing with friends from the support group
  • the ramifications of an honest review
  • Roger getting a courage reward for being himself
  • someone using his credit card
  • the UNEXPECTED return of…
  • making amends for a past wrong
  • and more.

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 3 (2020) earns 4 of 5 stars.
