"The Comeback" is a television series that aired on HBO in 2005 and 2014. It follows the story of Valerie Cherish, a washed-up actress who tries to revive her career by starring in a reality show. The show is shot in a mockumentary style, with the cameras following Valerie around as she navigates the ups and downs of her life.
The first season of the show was well-received by critics, who praised its unique format and Lisa Kudrow's performance as Valerie. However, the show was cancelled after one season due to low ratings. Nine years later, in 2014, HBO revived the series for a second season, which continued Valerie's story and addressed the changing landscape of reality television.
In the second season, Valerie lands a role in a new HBO drama series, but struggles to balance her personal life and career. The show received positive reviews for its exploration of themes such as aging, fame, and the entertainment industry. Despite this, there are currently no plans for a third season.
