Lady Dynamite

2016–2017 · 2 seasons

A dizzyingly surreal, self-aware comedy that turns mental illness and showbiz into something funny, uncomfortable, and oddly tender.

Overview: A single-camera half-hour comedy based on what Maria Bamford has accepted to be "her life." It's the sometimes surreal story of a woman who loses — and then finds — her s**t.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, dark and earnest. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Identity, madness, healing, celebrity
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
