Life and Beth
Disney+
Amy Schumer creates and stars in this incisive, artful, enjoyably sour dissection of early-midlife dissatisfaction as Beth, a wine distributor in a long-term relationship who, after a shocking event, must re-examine her entire life. It features what must be the bleakest example of Ace of Base karaoke ever filmed.
Spreadsheet Channel 4, 10.05pm & 10.40pm
Katherine Parkinson leads this comedy as Lauren, a single mother whose pursuit of no-strings sex is aided by
a meticulously constructed spreadsheet, packed with shorthand reviews of her conquests. A deftly farcical take on sex and modern life, it’s silly, refreshing and very smart.
