Inside Amy Schumer
Mr. Adjacent and I watched Season 3 of Inside Amy Schumer. It was pretty funny, and I liked it. He liked it a lot, but he's generally more into comedy than I am. We then realised that we were watching S3 and not S1, so we started from the beginning.
Season 1 started OK but declined steadily and then precipitously. Lots of racist and classist stereotypes, lots of "LOL I said something offensive" humor, lots of ablism. There's some of that in S3 as well, but much less than S1 and also mixed in with quite a bit of really good comedy. The last episode or two improved a bit.
We would have given up a few episodes into S1, but since we knew it got better eventually we persevered. We're now starting Season 2 which seems...better than S1 by a wide margin, but not yet as good as S3. We'll see.
Anyway, if you like women comics and can tolerate white lady feminism, I'd say watch S3. It's got some pretty great comedy. Probably avoid S1.
