Olivia's wife turns out to be a surprisingly big part of the show, and she doesn't do herself any favors whenever she's on-screen. In a bid to create her own perfect TV family, Stephanie can be quite selfish, and too obsessed with material things over real human beings, which instantly irritates. Stephanie is rude to Olivia's sponsees, she makes th...
Many television shows have the best mothers, but Carol is sadly not one of them. For one, she seems to dislike her daughter a lot, and viewers don't get to see why. If Sam had done something awful, then it might make sense, but she seems to be a regular girl who went and chased the millennial dream and developed a drinking problem. At the start of ...
Sam's former best friend is a largely good-natured human being. Brit is a compassionate doctor and someone who operates on logic, but her big mistake was getting close to Sam's ex, dating him, and then marrying the guy while Sam struggled. It's not a decent thing to do to a friend, let alone a best friend, so Brit scores low on the friendship scale...

Funny, sweet, and sensitive, James is the perfect love interest on the show. He can be stoic and a stickler for rules too, but it's all for Sam's good. He tries to be tough, but he's just a big sweetheart who loves dogs (so much so that he stole them when drunk) and remembers sweet moments with Sam even when she couldn't.

As terrible as Carol is, is just how adorable her new boyfriend is. Bob is a kind old man in the neighborhood whom Sam didn't take to at first, but he quickly becomes a paternal figure to her. He cares for Carol and helps her accept her daughter just the way she is, by easing the tension in a book club when Gail made an appearance. Fans loved it wh...
Nobody expected Sam's probation officer to be a riot, but Gail always serves laughs and hilarity when she's on-screen. Her sassy but generous attitude to Sam's cluelessness is nice, and she doesn't ever intimidate the millennial too much. Officers in shows are usually tough and grating, but Gail seems to cheer for Sam from the back, giving her the ...
Annoying television protagonists are aplenty, but Sam does not fall in that league. She's easily one of the most authentic and evocative leads on TV, with her mix of smart-ass humor, sarcasm, and even touching moments of vulnerability and realness as she marches on in her sober journey. She's entertaining as a drunk, but she also stirs up complex e...
