Watch I'm Sorry

I'm Sorry is a comedy series that premiered on truTV in 2017. The show stars comedian Andrea Savage as a fictionalized version of herself, a wife and mother living in Los Angeles who constantly finds herself in awkward and embarrassing situations. Savage's character is married to Mike (Tom Everett Scott), and they have a young daughter named Amelia. The show explores their family life as Andrea tries to balance being a wife, mom, and her career as a stand-up comic and comedy writer. A lot of the humor comes from Andrea's attempts to be the "cool mom" and fit in with the other moms at her daughter's school, even though she often says and does inappropriate things that lead to uncomfortable encounters.

Andrea grew up in a wealthy family in Chicago, while Mike comes from a more modest, working class background. Their different upbringings are a frequent source of humor, as Andrea doesn't always understand Mike's perspective. Her tendency to overshare leads to awkward run-ins with their more traditional neighbors, as well as with Amelia's teachers at her private school.

Savage drew on her own experiences as a wife, mother and working comedian to create the show. Many episodes feature amusing and cringeworthy moments that parents can relate to, like school fundraising events, kids' birthday parties, or running into other parents around town. Andrea's friends, including her blunt assistant Judy, are often dragged into her mess-ups and have to help her try to smooth things over.

While Andrea sometimes comes across as self-absorbed, the show also explores her attempts to be thoughtful and do the right thing for her family. She just doesn't always succeed, thanks to her lack of an effective filter. Her husband Mike acts as the patient, grounded foil to Andrea's rambunctious personality.

I'm Sorry received positive reviews in its first season, with critics praising the relatable family comedy and Savage's witty writing. Many felt it offered a humorous take on the challenges of modern parenting, especially for someone like Andrea who doesn't fit the typical suburban mom mold. The series was renewed for a second season which aired in 2018.

With its cringe comedy moments and bold lead character, I'm Sorry proved to offer a uniquely comedic perspective on the craziness of family life. The show stood out for willing to find humor in uncomfortable but realistic situations many parents find themselves in, even if they don't always admit it.

I'm Sorry is a series that ran for 2 seasons (20 episodes) between July 12, 2017 and on truTV
