When Season Two ended, Sam was grappling with some big changes.

Joel had fallen in love.

Her other pal, Fred Rococo (Murray Hill), got married.

I feel so connected to Sam and when she grows, I feel like I grow too.

And growth is change, and thats overwhelming for Sam and for the woman who plays her.

Somebody Somewhereis unlike most shows on TV.

Theres no mystery-box plot devices or dystopian nightmares or wild spectacle.

Sam is wrestling with loneliness and where she fits into the lives of her busy, coupled-up friends.

Everett says it was a happy accident.

The other dog wasnt really doing what we needed it to do, she says.

She explains, Lulu is a very spirited young lady and likes to talk to everyone she meets.

Lulu is a world-class beauty, and nobodys ever going to believe that shes a rescue.

She is a rescue.

If there was no Poppy, there would be noSomebody Somewhere.

Im telling you that right now.

I keep thinking, how the fuck do we have three seasons of this show on the air?
