First and foremost, Maria Bamford is fucking hilarious.
She is a straight-up funny lady with perfect comedic timing.

It’s co-created by Mitch Hurwitz, who brought you Arrested Development.
If you love the Bluths, you’re gonna love the Bamford. Friendly reminder: Maria had a hilarious stint as Tobias’ girlfriend during Season 4 of Arrested Development.

It shows a very realistic depiction of mental illness.
Maria Bamford is very open about being diagnosed with bipolar II disorder and there’s something special about watching her embrace it in comedy.

It’s incredibly weird… in a good way.
You have never seen anything as ~banana town~ as this show, which is pretty damn refreshing.

It’s relatable AF.
Even if you do not suffer from mental illness, there is going to be something about Maria and her life that you can relate to.

It’s pretty to look at.
“Visually stunning” is an odd way to describe a half-hour comedy show, but it’s clear that a lot of thought went into the cinematic style.

It’s super quotable.
Sick of shouting out the same quotes from The Office and Parks and Rec over and over? This show has got you covered.

All of the women are fierce…
From Ana Gasteyer to Mary Kay Place, these women aren’t taking any of your shit.

…and the dudes are mostly weaklings.
Fred Melamed’s character is hilarious, but boy oh boy, is he a hot mess.

It’s the right kind of meta.
There are a lot of fucked up things happening in Hollywood and Lady Dynamite has perfected the art of pulling apart pop culture.
