Life & Beth

I like some, but not all of Amy Schumer's past material. While I am not a super-fan, I appreciate that she can push the edge and I always respect that even if it doesn't appeal. I thought this would be worth a look.

It didn't start well. I almost bailed during the first episode. None of the characters were likeable. There didn't seem to be any chemistry among the cast. It was just awkward. They hooked me at the end of the first episode, so we decided to keep going.

It takes a couple of episodes, but it gains momentum. The cast and crew start to get a working flow, and the story line moves between broad humor and serious issues.

It is worth watching, but you will have to be patient with it.

I am confused by the dumpster fire of reviews here. I am convinced the crap reviews are from people that just hate Amy Schumer and didn't watch.

This show is much more mature and heartfelt than some of her other entries. Of course you have to like her style, but if you do you will like this show. There is a good mix of outright laughs, sadness, and some toned down comedy. It's worth a watch.

Seriously is it your expectations were high and so you were disappointed? Or in a bad head space when you watched and couldn't get into it? Honestly idk how anyone could give this less than, say, a 6, by any metric - I don't understand people :/

Like everything else it's in-between. Not super funny but it is humorous at times. It's more thought provoking than funny. The first episode was a bummer until the end and now each episode has proved to move the story along nicely and you can connect with Beth. It's doing what I hoped, make me watch the next episode.

Stop hating on Amy Schumer. This show is lovely. It's funny, sad and well made. The acting is great. Also a big shout out to the girl who plays young Beth. Amy deserves more Credits.
