Amy Schumer's Hulu dramedy 'Life & Beth' is as trite as its title
, a Hulu dramedy that she created, stars in, and helped write and direct.
The show’s premise, like its title, is both indistinct and somewhat trite. Fast approaching 40, Schumer’s Beth has managed to create a pretty nice life for herself. She works at a wine company, alongside her cute superstar-salesman boyfriend, Matt , with whom she shares a Manhattan apartment. To her high school friends in Long Island, who refer to “the city” in tones of hushed reverence, this is what success looks like. But she isn’t really happy.
It takes an unanticipated tragedy for Beth to stop sleepwalking and start reconsidering who she is and what she wants out of life. Back in her childhood home, she dips into diaries that reveal a kid marinating in the shame of her parents’ divorce, the family’s money problems, and her own developing body. Schumer tells these stories through extensive flashbacks, drawing parallels between young Beth’s humiliations and grownup Beth’s suppressed emotions.
