AMC's 'Lodge 49': Everything you need to know about the light-hearted modern fable about the fraternity life

The series tries to show the other side of sunny California - the more realistic, day to day lives of people who cannot afford the dreamboat life. 

AMC's 'Lodge 49' is set to make its debut this August, and from the first looks, the show seems like it will be a ball! Think humor involving misfits who are frustrated with life, a lot of "oh damn!" moments and plentiful mishaps. The show stars Wyatt Russell, Brent Jennings, Sonya Cassidy, Linda Emond, David Pasquesi and Eric Allen Kramer. The series tries to show the other side of sunny California - the more realistic, day to day lives of people who cannot afford the dreamboat life. 

The significance, says showrunner Peter Ocko is its insignificance. The curiosity involving these lodges and fraternities have existed for the longest time, but no one really knows what goes on inside. 'Lodge 49' tries to spin a story of reinvention by breathing life into what looks like an old battered building on the outside. In reality, it is a thriving organism of some serious self-realization. Everyone on the show is caught in their own time periods and chaos. This show helps the characters look outside of their own lives, with a generous dose of humor.
