Beth’s life would look pretty great on paper. Impressive to everyone she grew up with. She makes a good living as a wine distributor. She’s in a long term relationship with a successful guy and lives in Manhattan. When a sudden incident forces Beth to engage with her past her life changes forever. Through flashbacks to her teen self, Beth starts to learn how she became who she is and who she wants to become. We’ll go on her journey towards building a bigger, bolder and more authentic life. Learning to express herself and living in an intentional way. A trip down memory lane is a strong source of trauma, comedy and moving forward.

Andrew Male The Times (UK) Nuanced, funny, carefully observed and with a pivotal turn from Michael Cera as a quixotic farmer, the show reveals a flawed, vulnerable and relatable side to Schumer that is as welcome as it is surprising. Jul 8, 2022 Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Amy Schumer returns to the small screen in this emotionally dappled half-hour series, which retains some of Schumer’s trademark earthy humour but dials back on the gags in order to tell a story of personal awakening and existential reorientation. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 25, 2022 Full Review Judy Berman TIME Magazine The pieces just don’t add up to a satisfying whole. Mar 21, 2022 Full Review Martin Carr Yahoo! Movies This one woman showcase from Amy Schumer struggles to deliver on the drama. May 21, 2023 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut It’s like Hulu ripped its latest comedy from the mind of Judd Apatow. Amy Schumer’s Life & Beth is her funny and personal pathos about adulthood. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 2, 2023 Full Review Dónal Lynch Irish Independent Haters are gonna hate but, yes, Amy Schumer's new Disney+ series is brilliant. May 12, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C 10 funny episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/28/25 Full Review Kara H Love the comedy, yet serious moments and character development. Really was just so relatable! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review Natalie N It was heartfelt and relatable. I loved the humor and the heartbreak. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/08/24 Full Review Omar G Honestly question other reviews, the show lacks substance and heart. There's more comedy in crime investigations dramas than this entire series. Amy just lacks charisma and relatability, very out of touch. Wish i could ask for a refund of all the time I wasted on this show. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/03/24 Full Review Aaron C I was surprised at how charming this show becomes pretty quickly. The first episode is actually the weakest and most obnoxious at turns. After that, the pace settles down and there are so many moments my wife and I just kept rewinding to watch again because they're so hilarious. Who knew Schumer had this in her? A++ We're almost done the first season and I can't wait to see where this goes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Geaux P Blaaaahhhhaaaarrrfff!!!! How can people even view this through dry heaves?! Blaaaaaalllaaarrrfff!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
