"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.
Life & Beth isn’t as funny as previous Schumer projects (nor is it trying to be), but I found the adolescent flashbacks particularly enriching to this narrative.

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.

SEASON 1
It’s frequently very funny, full of bright comic turns, and often quite moving, even beautiful, sometimes just for the space of a shot, in a way that might make you reconsider a character. It’s sentimental in the end, but that is what sometimes happens when artists grow happy in their life.
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 clearly a very personal story for Schumer, but by shifting between workplace comedy, rom-com, and late-coming-of-age dramedy, it never quite focuses on how it wants to be what it wants to be. Despite its unfocused format, it is compulsively watchable and there is an offbeat charm to the whole thing that is hard to resist.
Overall, “Life & Beth” is a mixed bag but ultimately watchable first season.
Personal but ponderous, it's a flawed trip down memory lane where children bear the lingering burden of their ill-equipped parents.
Very honest, witty and down to earth comedy. As usual, dismiss the incels hating on the brilliant Amy Schumer; the show is great.

SEASON 1
Attempts to be "honest" and tried to connect Schumer own life but she is just an obese slob that gets away with it due to money and connections. The show has no focus with a disjointed narrative.
The central relationship between Beth and her mother is disturbing
There is some talent in the rest of the cast (besides slob Amy Schumer) but a watchers ends up feeling bad for everyone else in this Mickey Mouse menagerie.

SEASON 1
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.
