Sometimes a benign comedy, like Mackenzie Crook’s Detectorists, can really do the business. And that applies to Somebody Somewhere (out on Sky Comedy/Now), which has done its own beautiful thing for two series, with a third and final one now arriving quietly, unobtrusively and rather brilliantly.

It is remarkable the extent to which this show can and does burrow into your heart.

Just as magical as ever, the final season of “Somebody Somewhere” is a stunningly honest depiction of friendship, grace and courage.

Somebody Somewhere looks like its going to end the way it began, as a funny, emotional, poignant show with characters we love to spend time with.

It would be so easy to make Trish a villain. To make the storylines of this show hinge on queer trauma or the pain of red-state politics. But nothing is so simple. Everything is just beautifully, heartachingly normal, hard, mean, and happy, all at once.

From dressing rooms to road trips, it’s a delight whenever these two [Sam and Tricia] share the screen, and there’s a conversation between them in the Season 3 finale that gives everything a full-circle, cathartic feel fitting for a series finale.

The highlights of this final season—the moments that will stick with you after the credits roll—don’t come in the form of these highs or lows, these giggle fests or friend-to-friend therapy sessions. There are a few genuinely sweet scenes—not too many to dull the emotional wallop—that will surely make you well up, notably a performance of a song Brad and Sam wrote for Joel and a few key, strategically placed interactions with a new character.
