A single-camera half-hour comedy based on what Maria Bamford has accepted to be "her life." It's the sometimes surreal story of a woman who loses — and then finds — her s**t.
The peaks and the valleys. Find the essential episodes — and the ones to skip.
After Maria gets a job playing a maid in the TV series "White Trash," she begins to question the underlying racism of the show when she has to play the part as a Russian stereotype and two black comedians are hired to play garbage men. In flashbacks, Maria gets a commercial playing a manic shopper at a big box store - something the actress really did for Target.
Maria meets hunky Jack at a party and the only way she can keep him interested is to speak to him in a sultry voice as "Diane".
Maria ruins her Bastille day appetite, munching away on nine snerks. Later she reads herself to sleep suckling both her pinky toes. In Detroit for beach sun and fun, an angry crowd of half digested snerks attacks. A pillow fight ensues.
Comedian Maria returns to LA after a stint in a psych ward in Duluth. Not wanting her life to fall into the same rut that caused her breakdown, she decides to take things slow and put a bench outside her home to create community. But things go awry when her manager books her for a charity event starring her nemesis, Mark McGrath.
