What is Single Drunk Female?
"Single Drunk Female" is a 10 episode single-camera comedy that follows Samantha Fink, a woman who is everything the title promises. An irreverent alcoholic, Samantha is on a fast downward spiral; after a spectacularly embarrassing public breakdown, her life is disrupted when she's forced to move back home to sober up and avoid jail time. What she sees as a temporary fix begins to look more permanent when her childhood BFF reveals surprising news, pushing Samantha to learn the difference between a fun party girl and walking disaster. She'll be helped along the way by said childhood friend and her sober mother
