So Help Me Todd has all the hallmarks of a classic odd-couple dramedy. At the start of the first season, we met Todd (Skylar Astin), a feckless, unemployed private investigator with the gift of the gab and a nose for sniffing out perps. His mother Margaret (the always magnificent Marcia Gay Harden) is a straight-laced defense attorney who sticks by the rules to get results. You can probably see where we're going with this.
Season 2 picks things back up with a rejuvenated Todd considering opening his very own private investigation business. But when somebody is killed on live local morning news, mother and son are thrown back together to try and find out whodunnit.
It may sometimes seem like a cliché, but there are good reasons why these chalk-and-cheese screen dynamics work. The easy charm of Astin combines delightfully with Harden's acting chops in So Help Me Todd, creating a zingy on-screen chemistry right up there with Woody and Buzz or Riggs and Murtaugh.
With a shortened second series due to 2023's Hollywood strikes, make sure you don't miss a minute. Here's how to watch So Help Me Todd season 2 from anywhere in the world. We've got all the information you'll need below.
