Don't Miss Featuring Loretta at Suburban Motel

Featuring Loretta is quite a different story from the first two. It is the story of a woman caught between two worlds. The first, her overbearing in-laws and controlling family, the second the two men she has met at the motel. Loretta, played by Kate Richard, finds herself always running into people who want nothing more than to control her. Dave, the insecure not-so-worldy man, played by Kevin Stark, is a wimpy boy rather than a man who knows what he wants to do but barely has the confidence to actually do anything. We see the return of goofy porn producer Michael (John Shaw) -- again lost in pseudo-love with another woman. We learn so much about him and how he really lives his life. I also never got tired of watching John Shaw covering his front quarters in order to hide his fictional erections.

As the action progresses, we see her finally take control of her destiny with some shocking decisions. She risks it all in order to change her life -- to live it on her terms.

We learn more about the motel itself with the introduction of Sophie, the Russian-born heiress to the motel itself. Katie Tekafman brings a solid performance with a wickedly convincing Russian accent. I give a shout out to the two female leads as they rocked this one out of the park. Kate Richard (whom I have seen before but can’t quite remember what in) channeled Penny from The Big Bang Theory a lot and it worked. She was sweet but was able to play a strong female lead. She wasn't the damsel in distress, even if the male characters thought so.

I loved this show as the actors were brave enough to deal with subject matter that can make some people uncomfortable. It had some cute and heart-felt moments.
