INSIGHT

IS ALWAYS ON THE

ITINERARY

Let our reporters,

take you on a

journey of

discovery.

LATexpeditions.com/explore

That kind of tag line

won’t delight AMC’s mar-

keting department, but it

speaks to the meandering,

novelistic nature of the

show. Mixing comedy,

drama and touches of fan-

tasy, ranging in tone from

heartfelt to philosophical to

happily absurd, the series,

co-created by Jim Gavin and

Peter Ocko, revels in the un-

settled nature of its time.

On one hand, “Lodge 49”

is an intimately drawn, lei-

surely paced series about

the past-its-prime fraternal

order and its hopeful savior.

On the other, it’s a show

about late-stage capitalism,

the decline of the middle

class and two siblings who

must reckon with the crush-

ing debt and existential un-

certainty that come with the

sudden death of their father.

It may be the funniest trage-

dy — or perhaps most tragic

comedy — on television. But

for a show that’s primarily

filmed in Georgia, it also

captures the diverse, idio-

syncratic nature of its set-

ting as few shows ever have.

“There’s a certain mood

and feeling to [Long Beach]

that I’ve always been drawn

to,” said Gavin, who was

born in the city and raised in

nearby Orange. On set in a

hooded sweatshirt and Lynx

baseball cap, he pointed

toward the place where, not

that long ago, he lived in a

$700-a-month studio just

blocks from the ocean — a

seemingly impossible (yet

very Long Beach) price for

beachfront access.

Reached by phone after

the “Lodge 49” panel at the

Television Critics Assn. bi-

annual press tour in Beverly

Hills, he talked about the se-

ries’ connection to the port

city. Though only 10% of the

new season was shot on loca-

tion, “Lodge 49” excels at

capturing its setting, from

its hazy light to its distinc-

tive spirit, which balances

beach-combing ease with a

working-class backbone far

removed from the glitz that

shapes so much of neighbor-

ing Los Angeles.

“The history of Long

Beach is very much the his-

tory of postwar America ... a

thriving suburban place

with a lot of industry, mostly

aerospace, and thriving

public institutions,” Gavin

says. “It’s now a city that’s

trying to find its new identity

at a time when the sense of

the future is very tenuous.”

Ocko, who credits a stra-

tegically placed decal of two

palm trees for the convinc-

ingly Southern Californian

quality of the show’s mini-

mall doughnut shop (which

is also in Georgia), has found

that — for all of Long Beach’s

struggles — the charm of its

low-slung homes, sun-

blasted skies and proximity

to the Pacific remains.

“Within about five days of

the trip here, most of the

people we bring from At-

lanta are looking for apart-

ments,” he said.

Still, the halting nature of

Long Beach’s evolution

since the end of its industrial

heyday mirrors the charac-

ters of “Lodge 49.” Cassidy’s

Liz Dudley, Dud’s sister, was

a waitress at a Hooters-like

sports bar before falling into

its corporate leadership pro-

gram — a twisted, cultish

world of nonsensical buzz-

words and bizarre rituals,

which she escaped by jump-

ing off a harbor cruise with

her fellow trainees. Dud’s

mentor, Ernie (played with

understated, dignified pa-

thos by Brent Jennings), is a

plumbing-supply salesman

who nearly landed a top-dol-

lar corporate client last sea-

son — before it disappeared

in the shell game of the new

economy.

“I think of Ernie as a

young guy stuck in an old

man’s body, because he’s al-

ways open to try things, and

he’s still trying to get what he

thinks he wants in life, which

changes,” the soft-spoken

Jennings said. “We have our

expectations and we look up

at one point and say, ‘Does

where I am now in any way

meet those expectations

and can I challenge myself to

do more? Or do I challenge

myself to accept who I am

now as the best that I can

do?’ ”

The British-born Cas-

sidy, who before “Lodge 49”

was seen in imported sci-fi

and costume dramas, says

her appreciation for the sar-

castic, seemingly self-de-

structive Liz is that capacity

for acceptance. It’s part of

how she found herself ad-

miring Liz for taking her

chances overboard rather

than chasing the security of

a corporate gig.

“I really respected her in

that moment,” Cassidy said

by phone. “I think there’s a

lot of people who will find

themselves going down the

path that has appeared in

front of them that they

didn’t really think they

wanted, but they’re just go-

ing to kick along. Liz doesn’t

kick along down the wrong

path.

“There’s something I

talked about with Jim and

Peter that there is a lovely

kind of lack of aspiration in

the Dudleys,” she added.

“They’d be quite happy liv-

ing a content, secure life in

Long Beach. But, of course,

having a simple, quiet, se-

cure life is not an easy thing

now.”

Her impression bears out

in Season 2 when Dud is

asked what he would do with

his life if he could do any-

thing he wanted. His answer,

while funny in the moment,

is endearingly earnest in its

simplicity.

“We always say we’re the

least aspirational show on

TV,” Gavin jokes when asked

about that exchange. “Dud

and Liz’s attitude is one

that’s kind of familiar to me.

The things that make me

happy have never been con-

nected to money or having a

certain status.”

Heading into a new sea-

son, “Lodge 49” is still off-kil-

ter. Heartened after surviv-

ing a shark attack, Dud

starts cleaning pools again,

albeit with an on-brand

business model, and both

the Dudleys must reckon

with a new tenant in their

late father’s storefront: an-

other family-run pool busi-

ness.

Bronson Pinchot shows

up as Liz’s shady new boss,

and executive producer Paul

Giamatti at last appears on-

screen as a Clive Cussler-

esque writer of spy thrillers.

(“He was raring to go,” Gav-

in says of Giamatti’s move

from behind the scenes.)

Then there’s the lodge,

which remains under threat

with new, more-regimented

leadership but will ulti-

mately begin to reveal its

mystical secrets. The series

continues to resist easy com-

parisons, which is fine with

Gavin.

“We compartmentalize

things in stories and books

and movies. Things are one

way or the other,” he said. “In

life, those things always live

side by side. Some of the

hardest I’ve ever laughed

have been during the dark-

est moments; moments that

have seemed like the happi-

est moments of my life,

there’s a tinge of melancholy

that I don’t understand. For

me that just feels natural.”

“What I love about our

cast so much is they all seem

to get that. They know those

notes, you don’t play one and

then the other — they’re

played together in kind of a

weird, funny, melancholy

harmony,” he added. “That’s

kind of the sound of the

show.”
