While the scandals - one concerned the show's writers' room and another surrounding the filming of a sex scene involving co-star Samara Weaving - play out behind the scenes, the showrunner’s character, Bridgette, faces her own challenges as her search for her father turns up empty, someone close to her passes away and she navigates a potential new romance.

She's one of a kind. @conniebritton is back as Ally when #SMILF returns this Sunday on #Showtime!

Like Bridgette, SMILF is an acquired taste - you either enjoy watching her stumble through life or you find it kind of grating. Proceedings are all made more enjoyable by the presence of supporting actresses Rosie O’Donnell and Connie Britton, who steals every scene she is in as Bridgette’s self-consumed boss, Ally. (Episode 1 on Stan now. Season 2 continues on Mon., Jan. 28) 3 stars

A pop culture enthusiast from a young age, Gavin is equally passionate about great pop music (’80s synthpop, ’10s dream pop), gripping TV series (Friday Night Lights, The Handmaid’s Tale) and trips to the cinema (I love a blockbuster as much as anyone, but I’m done with the superhero thing).
