I had not heard of this series and fell upon it while searching for a new show to watch on Netflix. I was surprised when I realized it came out in 2017 already. Shame how it was kept under the radar as it deserves at least every bit of promo any of the other series get.
None of the cast was known to me, though I had seen other Farrelly stuff. I was BLOWN AWAY by the main characters, they were impeccably cast and really were believable in their respective quirkiness, with one exception, which is why i held back a star. Through no fault of the actors, the writers jumped the shark for the ad agency guy who went to sobriety meetings on behalf of his over-the-top obnoxious boss and the Cutter character, who took on a cartoonish buffoonery that did not fit with the rest of the storylines. I read that the actor playing Cutter had some personal issues during the filming of the series but I understand he is feeling better, glad to hear. But if they are preparing for more seasons, and I hope they are, no more of this slapstick tangent and stick to believable or somewhat believable situations. Please.
Aside from Anja Savcic and Ron Livingston, huge shoutout goes to Will Sasso who was absolutely perfect in his delivery. *Chef's kiss*
Looking over the cast headshots on this webpage just now I can hardly recognize some of them, so transformed into their characters they were for this series (including Ricky Blitt plays New Guy so impeccably.. i just learned he was raised a few miles from my own home here in Montreal. Bonus surprise lol)
Nothing is perfect and nor is the series Loudermilk. But for the number of times I laughed out loud (literally roaring) and smiled at the cleverness of some of the dialogue and quick repartee and inside jokes on music-my passion-, it is deserving of more eyeballs, more promo, more favorable reviews, and way more seasons. Congrats to all involved! Exceptionally done!
PS yes there are a lot of f-bombs. So what? 🤷♀️
