Netflix: Lady Dynamite

Netflix keeps pumping out new shows with some sticking, such as The Ranch, and others flopping, such as Marseille.  And now we have Lady Dynamite premiering today.  Take a look at this trailer if you want a fair warning.  

Here is how Netflix describes its new series:

This is the true story of a woman who loses -- and then finds -- her shit. Lady Dynamite is a 12-episode half-hour comedy from Mitch Hurwitz (Arrested Development) and Pam Brady (South Park) starring comedian-actress Maria Bamford. Based on what she has accepted to be “her life,” the semi-autobiographical, semi-surreal series is a truthful look at the highs and lows of Bamford’s life -- as an actor on the rise, during her hospitalization for bipolar disorder, and through her present life in LA, where she’s reached a middle ground and found love.

I never watched Ms. Bamford's comedy on stage, so this is all new to me.  However, I did watch some of her YouTube episodes of The Maria Bamford show from about 10 years ago.  She made the YouTube series in her parent's home while still trying to figure out her life.  If this new series indicates she has figured things out and wants to share her stories, then we are all very lucky.
