"Beth" is complex and layered, and a departure for Schumer in the best way. ... There is so much more to "Beth," and to Beth. There is something refreshing about the series, and how it resists neat categorization. Read full review

If Amy Schumer does harbor ambitions as a serious actor, though, Life & Beth features her most compelling and complex onscreen performance to date. She gets many of the show’s biggest laughs, but just as often she’s the straight man to the supporting cast’s various oddballs. Read full review

It’s those little, often subtle gags, that keep the audience from sinking into Beth’s depression along with her. That effort to alleviate some of the heaviness helps us go along on the journey Beth is going to take without making her seem like she doesn’t appreciate what she has. Read full review

Life & Beth is a lot more than a smartly scripted rom-com. ... Watching it unfold, you wish Schumer either decided to focus more on the budding romance with the weird and weirdly likable John—it’s a charmingly offbeat relationship—or cut the series down to, say, seven episodes, like HBO’s recent coming-back-home comedy Somebody Somewhere.

Life & Beth is, like its heroine, imperfect. But if it occasionally trips over its own ambitions, it also demonstrates that whatever Amy Schumer wants to try next — as an actor and/or a creator — she has the varied and impressive skills to make it work. Read full review

While the middle episodes slump, "Life & Beth" starts strong, ends strong, and features a lead with genuine dramatic chops. Read full review

Personal but ponderous, it's a flawed trip down memory lane where children bear the lingering burden of their ill-equipped parents. Read full review

This show is real entertainment, Amy Schumer is so creative and obviously funny. The cast is attractive and there are several actors I like from other works shining here. Seeing them together is delicious.

Very honest, witty and down to earth comedy. As usual, dismiss the incels hating on the brilliant Amy Schumer; the show is great.

Tiered of stealing joke, Amy Schumer steals the concept of ‘Everybody Hates Chris’. Funny, witty, well scripted, well directed, well acted are not words I’d used to described this show. This isn’t even Batwoman bad, where you can sit around with a bunch of friends and make fun of it.
