Synopsis
Loudermilk (2017) is a comedy-drama from Peter Farrelly that you can watch online on iFILM. Sam Loudermilk is a former rock critic who got sober and now runs a recovery support group, armed with a sharper tongue than everyone in the room combined.
Staying off the bottle turns out to be the easy part. Sam insults his neighbors, infuriates his own group, drives off every woman who gets close, and still genuinely tries to pull an old friend's daughter back from the edge — Claire, a chaotic young addict who crashes on his couch. His loyal, long-suffering roommate Ben sticks around through all of it. Ron Livingston plays Sam, Will Sasso is Ben, and Anja Savcic is Claire.
Peter Farrelly (Dumb and Dumber, Green Book) built the show around a blunt truth: getting clean doesn't make you a good person, it just strips away the excuses. The humor runs mean and uncomfortable, yet underneath it sits a surprisingly warm story about people keeping each other afloat. It lands for anyone who loves a misanthrope with a heart, somewhere between House and Hank Moody. Stream every season of Loudermilk online on iFILM.
