Susan 313 Unaired Sarah Silverman Pilot (2012)
Bekkah:
So I feel like I would have watched this show, had it been picked up, but also I totally get why it wasn’t picked up. I am not sure I can explain it, but I feel like a fart joke in the first episode and the weird behind the scenes focus group thingy were both off-putting. But you know what wasn’t off-putting? Super dreamy Jeff making a surprise appearance as Sarah Silverman’s ex. Swoon! What a life. I would totally have been a mess if my 10 year relationship with Jeff came to a crushing halt. You’re doing okay, Sarah/Susan! But why tf were you paying rent for 10 years in an apartment you moved out of? (Also bonus points for Tig Notaro!)
Danya:
So we are real deep in the Great Work of Jeff Goldblum (r) but this is just a Pretty Good Work. I enjoyed this 23 minutes of Sarah Silverman being herself, but I get why it wasn’t picked up. Jeff is delightful and so charismatic and good at the piano.
7/10 Goldblums
A woman returns to her old life after a decade-long breakup, ready to pick up where she left off and finds it's not as easy as she thought because those around her have moved on.
