Getting On is back for season two this November! What's that? You didn't know there was a Getting On season one? Shame! The HBO comedy from Big Love's Mark V. Olsen and Will Scheffer stars Alex Borstein, Niecy Nash, Laurie Metcalf and Mel Rodriguez as healthcare professionals in a dumpy geriatric extended care facility.
It's wickedly smart with biting humor and probably the best show you're not watching. Check out the trailer for the upcoming second season, which will be paired with the equally brilliant The Comeback, starting November 9 on HBO.
The first season, which is on HBO Go right now, so you know what to do, featured Dr. Jenna James (Metcalf) doing a fecal study, guest stars Molly Shannon and June Squibb and Nurse Dawn Forchette (Borstein) starting a workplace romance—if you can call it that—with her boss Patsy de la Serda (Rodriguez). You haven't lived until you've seen Dawn and Nurse Didi Ortley (Nash) attempt to understand a Cambodian patient. And then there's the time Dr. James impersonated Donald Duck.
This season features Jean Smart, Carrie Preston, Betty Buckley, Sex and the City's Lynn Cohen, Didi's attitude problem and apparently the lights going out on Dr. James while she's in the bathroom.
Needless to say, we can't wait.
