Based on a
web series,
Downward Dog
follows the
day-to-day life
of Nan (Emmy and
Golden
Globe-nominated
Allison Tolman,
Fargo),
as told by her
increasingly
lonely and
philosophical
dog, Martin
(voiced by Samm
Hodges). Just
one session at
obedience school
makes them
realize that
even at their
worst, they may
be the best
thing for each
other.
Nan attempts
to juggle her
tumultuous
personal life
with a stressful
career, unjustly
supervised by
her
self-obsessed
boss. Having her
story told from
the canine
perspective
provides a
uniquely
unfiltered point
of view that
helps us laugh
and cry about
what it means to
be a human being
in the
twenty-first
century. It's a
show about a dog
and the girl he
adores, and even
at their worst,
Nan and Martin
just might be
best for one
another.
