action
Comedian and actress Maria Bamford (played by Maria Bamford ) is moving back to Los Angeles after six months of psychiatric treatment for her bipolar disorder . Here she wants to build on her career with the help of her incompetent manager Bruce (played by Fred Melamed ) and rebuild her life. The series is three chapters intertwined with flashbacks about Bamford's success in LA before her mental breakdown, her experiences during therapy in her hometown of Duluth, and her personal and professional fresh start after treatment. The non-linear narrative style of the series is characterized by surreal metahumor and the regular breaking through of the fourth wall .

Just as her career begins to take off, she suffers a mental breakdown and is diagnosed with bipolar disorder II . She moves back to her parents in her hometown Duluth and receives outpatient therapy here.
