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) 07/08/2022
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. Go to Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 03/25/2022
3.5/5
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.

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. Go to Full Review Dónal Lynch Irish Independent 05/12/2022

Stephen C @bob25009 06/28/2025 10 funny episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Natalie N @RT48847089 03/07/2024 It was heartfelt and relatable. I loved the humor and the heartbreak. See more Aaron C @RT83688864 02/18/2024 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. See more Geaux P @RT95955877 02/16/2024 Blaaaahhhhaaaarrrfff!!!! How can people even view this through dry heaves?! Blaaaaaalllaaarrrfff!!! See more Moko K @Moko15 02/13/2024 Pretty slow moving. Some amusing moments. Many annoying characters. See more Jennifer N @Jenray 02/04/2024 This show is moving. It's funny in a sarcastic like laugh about your life kinda way. It's drama that speaks of trauma and in some ways, we can all relate to it. It's a love story, of finding your true person and realizing what exactly that is. It's not the hot, popular guy. And it's def not the weird farmer guy, at least I hope not... Yeah, he's blunt and honest, but he's also selfish and not empathetic. This story is so relatable and one of the best dramas out there!! See more Read all reviews
