It was a pleasure to discover this series freshly released on Hulu at Midnight last night. I found it early this morning and am binging the final couple of episodes. Wow.
"Life & Beth" is a fresh take on the "awfulness" comedy pioneered by Seinfeld, and sewn into some of the finest dramas of the past two decades. This show is outstanding, in the way that the characters sail full-steam through each others' turbulent wake, yet fight to keep each other upright and moving.
Also outstanding: Ms Schumer herself in this role. I personally come at this as a longtime fan of Schumer's comedy, in all of its outrageous cycles. Here her persona is superbly matched to the material, with an excellent supporting cast all around.
It has been a somewhat bleak season for new shows from the streaming services. Do see this.
