Everything must come to an end, but after watching the third season of “Somewhere Somebody” we wish this HBO gem could stick around for another two or three years. Somehow, creators Hannah Bros and Paul Thureen and their writing staff have crafted a final go-around that is even more heartbreaking and uplifting than the second season, which just happened to win a Peabody Award.
