Review of Life & Beth

Life & Beth (2022– )
3/10
Knock off of Somebody Somewhere
30 January 2023
Seriously, watch Somebody Somewhere with Bridget Everett. This show feels like a cheap knockoff of her show, they even have some of the same actors. But Somebody Somewhere is thoughtful, hopeful, inspirational, and realistic, and this isn't any of those things.

This show is disappointing, the jokes don't land if they are even jokes, it just feels like a pity party for someone who's life is pretty good but they want more without having to do anything to get more. I keep trying to watch all of Amy's stuff, everything in my head says I'm her key demographic, middle class white women, almost same age, weight issues, inappropriate, sex positive, so many similarities but none of the jokes landed.

I will say this show has a lot more famous people, it's quite the list of guest stars. It's like the one time I ordered Oyster Rockefeller from a restaurant and they covered it in sauce and after digging in I find they also breaded and fried the oysters which had turned out to have gone bad. Lots of extra stuff to make it feel like it should be great, but it's rotted at the core.
