This semi-autobiographical dark comedy starring Tig Notaro follows her as she returns to her hometown after the sudden death of her mother. Still reeling from her own declining health problems, Tig struggles to find her footing with the loss of the one person in her life who understood her. All while dealing with her clingy girlfriend and her dysfunctional family. Written by Anonymous
My mother recommended this show. The setting is local life in coastal Mississippi, with all the family problems that go along with it. Tig comes home to deal with her mother's death as a sick and broken woman who seems lost in life. She finds a chance to reconnect with her family and community as she comes to terms with a difficult childhood. In a quest to learn about who her mother really was, she finds out more about herself. The fact Tig is struggling with cancer and other illness brings a grounding sobriety to the awkward situations she faces in the vibrant community. I love that the city of "Bay St Lucille" so closely resembles a real coastal city in Mississippi. The only problem I have is there needs to be more seasons to watch.
