.keeneTV recommends you watch SingleDrunkFemale (which just wrapped its first season and is streaming on Hulu), as it's one of TV's best explorations of sobriety:
Sometimes a show needs you to look past its name and its platform and give it a chance. The turning point for me was learning this seriesabout the wild exploits of a party girl meant to appeal to Freeform’s YA demo, but about a woman in her late 20s who comes to realize she’s an alcoholic. What follows is a show that unravels the consequences of Sam’s addiction, and her road to recovery.
Created by Simone Finch, the winning first season has just one flaw: it’s not nearly long enough. At least, its episodes aren’t. Its structure—that of a half-hour series, which typically runs 22-minutes before commercial breaks—is the purview of comedy series and sitcoms. Though in recent years many shows have broken out of that mold to create half-hour dramas, they still often run longer than that, sometimes pushing 40 minutes or more.
It’s a good problem for a show to have, living as we are in a time of streaming bloat and drama premieres that court movie runtimes. It also illustrates just how good the series is. I watch a ton of TV, I lament constantly that episodes and seasons are too long. But here? Every week I wanted more.Scandal
, women in particular are often shown guzzling wine glasses the size of fish bowls as a “way to unwind,” without consequence. Most shows that feature characters regularly getting drunk do so for comedic effect, either as a one-off or simply a way of life . Or, in a drama series, a character suddenly develops a “problem,” it’s dispatched of quickly: there’s an intervention within an episode or two, or perhaps they’re dramatically killed off.
In 10 quick episodes that take place over a year, Sam actually finds the redemption and new path that seemed impossible at the start. It required her to be humbled yet also to believe in herself enough to want to fight for something better, and mend what she could. In the end, that transformation feels earned, not rushed. Sam—the mess who couldn’t be trusted—becomes the responsible one, the rock on whom the others rely upon.doesn’t have to end here; there’s still so much to explore.
