Heartwarming and hopeful, this is a deeply human story that reminds us our stories are not defined by the worst choice we ever made, and that it’s never too late to write a different one, on your own terms.

It’s the show’s uncanny ability to perfectly blend humor and heart that is one of its greatest strengths.

By taking the focus off Sam for a bit in Season 2, Single Drunk Female does wander a bit from what made it such an appealing show in its first season. But since we liked the support system that formed around Sam so much, it feels less like scope creep to us and more like a show evolving and settling in for a long run.

Perhaps also due to the low episode count, the show stumbles on an occasional plot contrivance. ... Regardless, it’s impossible to fault Single Drunk Female too strongly when it remains consistently funny, clever, and affecting.
