It hasn\u2019t happened for you, it hasn\u2019t happened for me \u2014 and that\u2019s because it\u2019s not going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a moment of nihilism on a comedy that finds a way to grace only after establishing pain at its heart. Here, Everett \u2014 a Kansas-born stand-up and cabaret artist known for her appearances on \u201cInside Amy Schumer\u201d \u2014 plays Sam, a version of herself had she never been discovered. Sam has a powerful singing voice she almost can\u2019t bear to use; dealing with family and friends, she brings a comic\u2019s bluntness to situations where her loved ones would rather glide over the surface. It\u2019s easier to pretend, as Joel does, that things might someday, somehow get better than to acknowledge how impossible that seems.<\/p>\n<p>But the achievement of \u201cSomebody Somewhere\u201d is how it puts Sam\u2019s cynicism to the test: It suggests that she is also taking the easy way out by indulging a belief that improvement is impossible. Co-created by Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen and executive produced by Jay and Mark Duplass, \u201cSomebody Somewhere\u201d resembles recent TV character studies such as \u201cOne Mississippi\u201d and \u201cBaskets.\u201d Both of those shows also found poignancy in contrasting their protagonists\u2019 artistic ambitions with the humble surroundings to which they return.<\/p>\n<p>But Sam\u2019s spikiness, and her struggle to cope with the reality of being herself, makes \u201cSomebody Somewhere\u201d feel fresh. Throughout the series, Sam goes out on a limb for everyone else. She won\u2019t relinquish the memory of her late sister, even as family members prefer to move on. She fights harder for the marriage of her surviving sister Tricia (Mary Catherine Garrison) than either Tricia or her husband (Danny McCarthy) will. She tells hard truths to her father (Mike Hagerty), a farmer who\u2019s grown too infirm to handle his crops, and copes with her mother (Jane Brody), who has an alcohol addiction, and the whole family\u2019s compulsion to ignore it. And Sam, with no small effort, works to build an intentional community, one made up of people \u2014 like Joel and Fred Rococo, a soil scientist played by drag king Murray Hill \u2014 who appear to have no place in small-town Kansas.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s in that last achievement of Sam\u2019s that the show finds its most compelling friction: Her inherent interest in the experience of the outsider comes both from empathy and from a lifetime of standing out. Everett\u2019s performance is tamped down here relative to what those familiar with her act may expect, but her rejection of pretense remains. This makes for a character that some can find a bit tough to take. A wittily drawn element of the series is the aversion Joel\u2019s boyfriend (Jon Hudson Odom) has toward Sam, and his sense of her as a well-meaning ally who\u2019s taken over his relationship. Little wonder that she has: Sam\u2019s freewheeling ability to be herself in most contexts is invigorating to Joel, a man of faith who feels lost at church and in life.<\/p>\n<p>Sam\u2019s conclusion that life\u2019s opportunities have been foreclosed is, in a sad sense, liberating: The mere fact of friends, even ones whose lives she\u2019s clearly at times infringing on, comes as a happy surprise. And given her low expectations for her family, she is rarely disappointed. If nothing else, their shortfalls give her a welcome chance to speak her mind. She\u2019s grimly satisfied by her rut, as if it proves a point. And we only notice something is missing when she sings.<\/p>\n<p>The real-world Everett has a brashly self-confident voice, put to work on exultant songs about seeking and finding pleasure. Here, however, she holds back. In the season\u2019s penultimate episode, after a reckoning with her mother, Sam tries to put something right. Softly and gently, she sings a few verses of the doo-wop standard \u201cSh-Boom\u201d \u2014 \u201cLife could be a dream,\u201d it begins \u2014 while sitting at the end of her mother\u2019s bed. The Chords\u2019 1954 version comes roaring in over the closing credits, as if to emphasize just how much of her gift the otherwise confrontational Sam restrains to protect herself.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, something shifts. Maybe it\u2019s just the power of being seen for all she is \u2014 an occasional annoyance and, more frequently, a pillar of support. Maybe it\u2019s just that the character is loosened up after having some drinks with friends. But, at last, Sam does sing in Everett\u2019s full voice. Even a character who lacks inhibitions when it comes to dealing in frank truths has walls within herself. And \u201cSomebody Somewhere\u201d becomes, over the course of a moving season that doesn\u2019t overstay its welcome, a study in dismantling those walls, and finding what talents \u2014 for art, for friendship, for being truly oneself \u2014 might flourish in the newly excavated space.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cSomebody Somewhere\u201d will premiere on HBO Sunday, January 16 at 10:30 p.m.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
