TV show description:
A semi-autobiographical “traumedy” based on the life of comedian Tig Notaro, who created the series with Diablo Cody, the One Mississippi TV show ponders what happens when you must go home again — whether or not your truly can.
The story centers on Tig Bavaro (Notaro), a Los Angeles radio host. Upon the sudden death of her mother, Caroline (Kihlstedt), Tig returns to home Bay Saint Lucille, Mississippi. There, she must come to terms with her monumental loss, while dealing with health challenges of her own.
Back in Mississippi, Tig feels like a fish out of water. Her brother Remy (Harpster) and stepfather Bill (Rothman) may be there to fill the gaps, but they’re not exactly adept at doing so.
The series explores the laughter and tears of family ties that bind, as Tig grapples with her mom’s death and comes to terms with her past.
Series Finale:
Episode #12 — “I’m Alive,” 2.06
Thwarted in their attempt to deal with their uncomfortable work situation, Tig takes their situation to the airwaves and tells a powerful personal story. Bill attends a wedding with Felicia and makes an impression on her family. Tig supports Bill and Remy, as the men face difficult truths. Tig and Kate go to a new place in their relationship.

What do you think? Do you like the One Mississippi TV series? Should this TV show have been cancelled or renewed for season three on Amazon?
I devoured this show after watching the pilot episode ; finishing both seasons in a couple of days. Devastated to hear that they cancelled it. Do you know if their idea of The Redpages is actually a thing? Because that’s a brilliant idea!
This was a completely well done two seasons. Amazon made a mistake in dropping it. Wish I had found it earlier and could have helped generate a bigger groundswell to urge them to change their minds.
Really enjoyed the show. Very sorry to see it cancelled.
This show has been a lifechanger to me and look forward to watching each episode, wish it was a full hour.
Amazingly funny realistic show!! Love it!!!
Love this show! It’s so real! Please give us more!
