I am not sure what I watched in the past that made me think Iliza Shlezinger was funny, but that was my thinking when I tried watching her sketch show.
Benny Hill she is not. Not even remotely. It seems like there was an effort made and money was spent, but the product of this work is somehow less than the sum of its parts. It's as if all of the sketches are only funny to her, or to whoever wrote them.
Have you ever been with a friend and they said something that they thought was funny and you told them not to quit their day job because it didn't seem funny to you? Somebody should have said that here, at the beginning of the first episode.
To add some perspective, today I am at home because of COVID-19. My work is closed and the mayor of our town has declared only essential travel and for everyone to stay home. I literally have nothing better to do but watch television, and my expectations are not very high. I have decided that random YouTube blooper videos are much, much funnier than the Iliza Shlesinger Sketch Show.
