Downward Dog

With Downward Dog, series creators Michael Killen and Samm Hodges expand upon their incredibly clever web series of the same name in this half-hour comedy produced by Legendary Television and ABC Studios for ABC Television Network. The series follows the day-to-day life of Nan (Allison Tolman), as told by her increasingly lonely and philosophical dog, Martin. Millennial Nan attempts to juggle her tumultuous personal life with a stressful career, unjustly supervised by her self-obsessed boss. Having her story told from the canine perspective provides a uniquely unfiltered point of view that helps us laugh and cry about what it means to be a human being in the twenty-first century. It's a show about a dog and the girl he adores, and even at their worst, Nan and Martin just might be best for one another. (Sundance Film Festival)
