The Iliza Shlesinger Sketch Show

This is possibly the worse sketch show I've ever seen. I like her stand up but didn't laugh at all. It felt forced and fast and I'm so upset with her.

If you need to turn off your brain for a bit this is your show. Its a sketch show, these are usually bad so I would say this one is pretty good. Iliza is a bit out there sometimes and it reflects in her show. I enjoy her somewhat zany humor so I found myself wanting to watch more. A few of the skits i fast fwd through but most were enjoyable.

Not only does Iliza retell many of the jokes from her standup shows in these sketches, many of them also fall flat due to overly lengthy execution of the punchlines. Even though i am a guy, one part i always liked about ilizas stand up were her empowering messages (for women usually) she delivers in between her jokes but while she tried to translate it into the sketch format, the sketches that are supposed to bring the empowering messages just come off as corny and while in her standup she always roots for equality, this sketch show has its fair share of men bashing.

While Ilizas acting is not bad, barely any of the sketches made me laugh, which is why even though she is one of my favorite english speaking comedians i can only give 3 stars. If this series gets renwed i really hope iliza does get some help with the writing and this might actually have some potential to become a decent show.

Love Iliza's stand up. This show was funny bite sized skits. Not all are hilarious but there were some laugh out loud moments each episode. Light and funny 😄

I love Eliza's comedy (seen all of her recorded shows and in person twice) but I have no idea what happened here. One of her skills is using her voice and posture to bring other characters alive when she is alone on stage. Perhaps acting in an ensemble plays against her strength. I also noticed that many of the segments went way way too long. When your brain wants to fast forward the entertainer is losing the viewer's attention. Breaking that connection keeps the viewer distant, uninvolved, and not laughing. I would say to give this a pass, but the whole season has about the same content as two episodes of SNL.
