As an aside, I do have a few nits I could pick with Loudermilk, and there's an entire plotline that I disliked enough to consider stop watching. The show feels a bit unpolished/raw at times, and I've found that both a negative and a positive. That said, I think the good outweighs the bad.
Amazon's one sentence summary of Loudermilk is "Series centers on Sam Loudermilk, a recovering alcoholic and substance abuse counselor with an extremely bad attitude."
If you think that sounds intriguing, then I think you'll like this show.

Loudermilk has more character and plot development than most comedic drams, and sometimes extends plotlines that you thought were resolved 4+ episodes prior.
The show starts each episode with a recap which is a testament to the intricacy of the plotline. I can see how the recaps are helpful for broadcast, but sometimes gives mild spoilers. If you decide to watch this show, I recommend skipping the recaps if possible.
About a week ago, I discovered the TV series Loudermilk (2017) on Prime Video.
I think Loudermilk is more of a comedic drama than sitcom. The jokes are generally dark humor; it's less laugh out loud funny and more finding cathartic humor in the day-to-day struggles.
I really got into this show, and I've started looking forward to watching a couple episodes at the end of the day.
#Flaked got recovery pretty well. The writers of #Loudermilk should have watched that show first.
I watched the first episode of #Loudermilk yesterday. I wanted to like it. The dialog and performances are great, but the story is a bit #greysAnatomy. All it would have taken is one person in #recovery in the writers room to fix it.
There are no professionals in meetings. 12 step calls are a thing. In my 29 years I have never been to a meeting run by a benevolent dictator like it was portrayed here.
It's like a show about cars and not understanding which end of the car the engine is in.

Thanks to my old mate Tony for introducing me to the comedy drama #Loudermilk.
It's quietly brilliant.
Tony says the main character (played by the ever brilliant #RonLivingston) reminds him of me. Livingston plays a grouchy, ex alcoholic, substance abuse counsellor. Yay?
We have about a million VOD and streaming services in the UK.
And you can’t buy or stream Loudermilk S3 on any of them.
This irks me. Quite a lot. S1 & S2 are superb.
