Many are either watching it on Sky Comedy or as part of their Entertainment Pᴀss on NOW.

And fans have loved discovering the show for the first time.

One wrote on a Reddit forum: ‘This show was just what I needed over the last couple of weeks to ground me during a challenging time. I have one episode left to watch and I can’t bring myself to start it yet because then it will be over.

‘I laughed so hard, I cried so many times. I wish I had friends like all of them

‘That’s all, thank you Somebody Somewhere. You spoke to me.’

A second said: ‘At first I wasn’t sure about this show, as it just isn’t my genre but I love Bridget Everett so I gave it a try. Then I finished the first episode, and the second and the third and next thing I knew I realised I was watching until 3am and season one was over.’

A third wrote on X: ‘I loved Max/HBO’s Somebody Somewhere. Just a feel good, laugh out loud, heart-warming show. Perfect distraction.’

A fourth wrote on the platform: ‘HBO’s Somebody Somewhere is glitteringly magnificent television. Watch it. You’ll thank me later.’

A sixth wrote: ‘Somebody Somewhere is one of the best comedies that’s come out of HBO.’

A seventh asked: ‘Why isn’t everyone watching Somebody Somewhere? It’s the best show on #HBO – should have gotten an #Emmy/’

The official synopsis of the programme on the HBO website states: ‘The Peabody Award-winning and critically acclaimed series follows Sam (Bridget Everett), a true Kansan on the surface who, beneath it all, struggles to fit the hometown mold.

‘As she grapples with loss and acceptance, singing becomes Sam’s saving grace. It leads her on a journey to discover herself and a community of outsiders who don’t fit in but don’t give up, proving that finding your people and your voice is possible.

‘In Season 3, we see growth against all odds.’

The cast includes Bridget Everett as Sam, Jeff Hiller as Joel, Mary Catherine Garrison as Tricia Miller, Danny McCarthy as Rick, Mike Hagert as Ed Miller, and Murray Hill as Fred Rococo.

Despite the praise and popularity of the show, in August last year it was confirmed that it would not return for another season.

Fans were left heartbroken when it was confirmed that the network had abruptly cancelled the show.

Creators Hannah Boss and Paul Thureen, alongside Everett and executive producer Carolyn Strauss said in a statement: ‘It has been the greatest dream to bring this world to life…. Kansas Prairie-sized love and thanks to Amy [Gravitt], the entire HBO family, and to the most talented and caring cast and crew.

‘The heart of Somebody Somewhere is friendship, and we will always hold dear the friendships on the screen and those forged behind the camera.’

Speaking abut the show coming to an end in December last year, protagonist Bridget told told Vulture: ‘We’re all going to be in Kansas for a finale watch party. I was like, Oh my God, am I just going to be crying all weekend again?

‘Right now, I feel like I’m at my own funeral. I am reading all these nice things about the show. Tim and I talk a little bit.  

‘We both feel like we’re the most desperately sad about it.

‘The other night, I watched episode 305 three times in a row or something like that.

‘I don’t want it to be over. I am going to miss everybody so much and what we’ve built together.

‘But I try not to bore anybody with how I’m feeling. 

‘As incredible as it’s been, as fulfilling and dreamlike as it’s all been, it’s equally as difficult to take the last breath.’
