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 :/

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.

I'm not an Amy Shumer fan, but I absolutely love this show.

It's touching, funny and witty and I identify with Beth in so many ways.

Highly recommend 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.

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.

I get ppl might be over Amy, but damn if this show isn't perfect in almost every way. I was laughing so hard my mom had to come in to see what show I was watching. It's rather touching too. Really a perfect vehicle for Amy's return, and I for one am loving it. I am a single, white, 40 y/o female, so I'm assuming I am the target demographic, but yeah, I love it.

A really sweet exploration of grief in a complicated relationship, as well as a look into happiness, all anchored by some creative writing from Schumer and a darker and more muted performance than she usually gives.

It's not a comedy but you'll get some laughs for sure. Don't go in with the expectation of light-heartedness. There's heaviness in the story but nothing we've not all experienced in our lives. Probably better suited to people in their late 30's/early 40's - I don't know that a younger audience would get it...necessarily. In my late 30's, I feel the same way as Beth. There's a layer of general disappointment. I thought by now, I'd have it all together. The big house, the kids, the husband...I got the husband...but he didn't want kids...I've switched careers plenty and still don't know where I'm going with that. I don't have that many friends - the few I keep, I am glad for but we rarely have time to just hang out. My husband is very much like John...doesn't understand social cues or whispering...but he's a solid piece of art and beauty that I can't get enough of. I've done a lot to adapt to his quirks as he has done for me. I cried at certain points, it makes you think of things that's happened to you...it makes you wish you had a better relationship with your parents but it also understands how that's not possible all the time. We all do the best we can. We all start life with a lot of hope. Kind of like a balloon that's inflated fully and looking shiny and beautiful...sparking so much joy...then the air starts to leak out of it over time and it becomes less and less bouncy...eventually...you'll need to pop that balloon...toss it out and in all your fragility with your lungs full of soot, you blow up a new balloon slowly and it's a struggle to get it to be as full as the first balloon. There are things that are behind you and uncertainty lays before you...you just have to take it one tiny moment at a time. I love the the kids running joyfully past the ceremony...looking like Beth and her sister...they are just starting their path and the "balloon" is super bouncy!

I'm neither a fan nor a critic of Amy. But dear God this is boring. And so depressing. I'm on episode 3 and I'm going to grant myself leniency now and find something else to watch. Anything else. Who needs this in early 2022? Nobody. Nobody on God's green earth.

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.

Typical Amy Schumer jokes that were fresh 10 years ago. All the humor seems forced or is blatantly obvious. The storyline is as uninteresting as it is unfunny. The entire 10 season story could have been told in 2 episodes. Skip it and try to find something that's actually entertaining.

Amy will always have her "review hit squad" which is creepy to go after someone that hard that you don't even know or have ever met. I mean they act like she ran over a bunch of children or something..anyways, show is funny as hell if you like the "Louie" style self-deprecating humor. I gave it a 10/10 just because it's such a rare occasion for a TV show to ACTUALLY make me laugh out loud. And she gets extra props for bringing us back some Michael Cera.

I'm not a big Fan of Amy's work but I enjoyed this series. The supporting cast really was the highlight for me. Wouldn't mind a season 2 but I feel like this will be a one and done.

Although I don't relate to the situations at all I felt them. This is a very honest and raw experience and it was superbly delivered. The characters were perfect and it's as if you really got to know them. The pain and joy were so authentic and written perfectly. What a nice series!

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.

Wow!!! I'm so glad I stumbled across this show. I've been feeling very sick the last few days and I was looking for a distraction. This show was my own personal Vicodin and helped me forget my stomach pain for awhile. I smiled, I laughed and even teared up. The show is well written, directed and perfectly cast. IT'S A MUST SEE SHOW!!!

After watching this series it's very funny and good and interesting and as someone who is kind of familiar with this type of story but it's also fresh it's not a typical story to me what makes the show real is how relatable the Characters are also I think Amy Schumer and the whole cast are incredibly funny and would recommend this TV series to anyone who wants a laugh and wants to put a smile on their face it's not all funny there are serious moments which I do appreciate also I absolutely can't wait to check out season two of this show I highly recommend Also the pacing is very interesting in the situations are too.

You have to give this a chance. It starts off very quirky (too quirky in my opinion but it's Amy afterall) but when it sinks its teeth into the meat of the story, it is brilliant. I always think Amy does better when she is playing a dramatic role as opposed to her comedic ones. Yes she is bravely funny but she makes you believe the painful scenes. It does tell a story and done so well. You have to pay attention because it makes sense in the end. Also, you have to watch it for Michael Cera. He was amazing in it. Talk about stealing the show.

Scrolling through Disney I came upon this treasure. And I really enjoy it, had to get trough the first episode and a bit of second to get into it but then I really liked it. I like Amy, I like Michael Cera and the pace is pleasant. There are a lot of series with raving reviews, that don't live up to the hype or you watch and just don't get into the story. I watched this and was into the story, and not had the urge to go on my phone or do anything else than watch and enjoy it.
