I'm Sorry

You, Me, and TV

In this episode we break down the pilot episode of I’m Sorry, which was created by Andrea Savage. Savage stars in the series, along with Tom Everett Scott and Olive Petrucci. I’m Sorry premiered on truTV on July 12, 2017. Two seasons have aired so far, and a third season is expected in 2020. Season one is currently available to stream on Netflix.

As always, we take a look at the (Netflix) description: “Life is a series of awkward situations for comedy writer and mom Andrea, thanks to plenty of neuroses and a knack for sticking her foot in her mouth.”

We also discuss how the title of the show may serve as a commentary on how women are made to feel they need to apologize for speaking their minds and being themselves. This ties in with the creation of the show as Savage was frustrated with the typical mom roles she was being offered, and wanted to create a character and a relationship that was more true to life.

In addition to our detailed breakdown of the episode, we also highlight some of the excellent performances in this show. These include the character Andrea’s writing partner, Kyle (Jason Mantzuokas), and her friend Brian (Gary Anthony Williams). You can listen to Andrea Savage on Gary Anthony Williams’s podcast Daydrinking with Gary & Elliot on Apple Podcasts.
