CREATED BY | Frankie Shaw (based on her Sundance Jury Award-winning short film of the same name)
PREMISE | This semi-autobiographical series — created by, starring and executive-produced by Shaw — follows Bridgette Bird, a young, working-class mother attempting to navigate life in South Boston. Her (non-existent) relationships, sex life and career (she has long dreamed of playing for the WNBA) take a backseat to raising her son, whose name is… Larry Bird.

IS IT COMING BACK? | Yes. A second season was ordered last November, and is expected in late 2018.
WHERE CAN I WATCH IT? | As of now, the complete first season is available only to Showtime subscribers. However, a TV-14 cut of the series premiere (read recap) is available to stream on YouTube:
