Life & Beth (2022– )
7/10
I liked the younger versions story line
20 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
*update after season 2* It's worse than the first and literally an auto biography of Amy Schumer's real life. They should have just named the show Life & Amy. It felt super rushed for no reason. There was some funny parts of course but they, again come from Amy's - I mean Beth's circle of friends. Will I watch a 3rd season...? Maybe if there's nothing else on

I like when shows portray the upbringing of the current characters so we can delve into why they are the way they are while seeing how they turned out. Beth's sister is adorable as an adult and the scene where she was swimming with the fish she caught was heartwarming. Michal Rappaport did well in his role and brought a bit of charm to the show and I loved all her friends and representation of thier love lives as well. What I can't understand is how in every Amy Schumer drama she has some well to do man obsessing over her even though she is crass and un lady like. It's unrealistic to me how a woman like that can jump from guy to guy to guy and always end up with a good man despite lacking better personality traits. Don't get me wrong I really do like Amy Schumer but I am tired of her terrible characters. I also don't understand the casting of Michael Cera as he doesn't give me the ranch hand vibe and there is no genuine connection between him and Amy in my opinion. All in all I liked the show but I don't see where it can go from here.
