Life & Beth

People are so quick to judge Amy Schumer. Give her a chance. People evolve and grow. This isn't her usual material. I don't think I've seen this side of her. It's serious and somber mixed with dark dry humor. It seems more adult.

So for those wondering, its really *not* her usual raunchy shenanigans. It's a woman dealing with life's various traumas, with a different sense of humor.

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.

I enjoyed this show. It actually made me laugh out loud at times, which takes a lot! It's refreshing and well acted. It's a welcome change of pace for Amy who plays a more realistic character. It's charming and enjoyable.

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.

Her comedy can be hilarious, over the top crass, and empowering. I find her softer and more real self, her director and revelatory self fascinating and highly entertaining. She has done a great job with this series and I hope we get to see more. I only knew little bits about her personal life previously, so I don't really know which parts are true and which are dramatic license, but I can see the humanity in all of it. Just having a person who looks like A PERSON with REAL PEOPLE PROBLEMS being an actor is so refreshing. I just tried to watch Nicole Kidman in a new thing and had to shut it off, even though her acting is always amazing, because I could not look at the clay mold face. I appreciate real and raw.
