She just wants to rebuild her life after losing her husband to leukemia. But now her 28-year-old daughter, Samantha (Sofia Black-D&#8217;Elia), has moved back home after a booze-fueled meltdown. Sure, getting sober is hard, but so is getting through the day. As Carol notes drily, &#8220;The rest of us have been doing the best we can the whole time you were drinking.&#8221; That &#8220;you think you&#8217;ve got problems?&#8221; energy is at the heart of Single Drunk Female&#8217;s appeal. Though it&#8217;s told through the lens of addiction, the new Freeform series from creator Simone Finch is an amiable comedy about the universal challenges of being, as one character puts it, &#8220;an adult in the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After drunkenly assaulting her boss (Jon Glaser) and completing a stint in rehab, Sam Fink finds herself unemployed, on probation, and back in her childhood bedroom in Malden, Massachusetts. The city is full of triggers: Sam&#8217;s former best friend Brit (Sasha Comp\u00e8re) is marrying her ex-boyfriend Joel (Charlie Hall); her fun-loving pal Felicia (the delightful Lily Mae Harrington) is eager to head back to their favorite watering hole; and her mom just started dating Bob (Ian Gomez), a chipper guy from book club. When she&#8217;s not arguing with her compassionately rigid sponsor Olivia (Rebecca Henderson), Sam seeks one-day-at-a-time life hacks from fellow addicts James (Garrick Bernard), her off-limits AA crush, and Mindy (Jojo Brown), who hires her to bag groceries at the local supermarket.<\/p>\n<p>Star Trek: Picard premiered in 2020 and saw the long-awaited return of Patrick Stewart as retired Captain Jean-Luc Picard. After the first season, he is thrust into a new adventure that takes him and his crew of new and familiar faces to the past. With the second season on the horizon, Paramount+ is already working on the third season of Star Trek: Picard, which has resumed production after a COVID-19 outbreak on the set.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/212443307414739103\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog_hollywood\/article2443_shop.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"padding -bottom: 5px; padding-top: 5px;\" align=\"center\"><strong>Related Videos<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_48317\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qaP0DFIJqW4?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_13946\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oR9XNxGovDM?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding -bottom: 5px; padding-top: 5px;\" align=\"center\"><strong>Related Videos<\/strong><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-timeline\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SofiaBDSource?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">Tweets by SofiaBDSource<\/a> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Single Drunk Female.
