'Inside Amy Schumer' Review: Comedy Central's latest shows promise, but has room to grow

Right from frame one, "Inside Amy Schumer" lets you know exactly what sort of show it's going to be. Pulling no punches and baring no pretense, the viewer is immediately treated to sketch in which two women are auditioning for the infamous "2 Girls 1 Cup" viral video, with an explanation as filthy (and censored) as you'd expect. The saving grace? It's wickedly funny.

That's creator and star, comedienne Amy Schumer, in a nutshell. A mainstay of the Comedy Central Roast scene, Schumer's earned herself a reputation for embracing topics like sex, relationships and race in a way that'll have you laughing before you can wonder if you really ought to be.

For her first foray into series television, Schumer has created a show that embraces her comedic persona, warts and all. "Inside Amy Schumer" which premiered April 30 on Comedy Central, is packed to the brim with every type of comedic scene: sketch, stand-up, man on the street, and a longer one-on-one interview. Some hit with a larger degree of success than others.

Schumer shines in the moments that allow her to be herself, as in the very funny segments on the streets of New York City or her interview with a random model. In these moments, as well as her stand-up bits, her winning quick wit is on display. It's when the show ventures into sketch comedy (the aforementioned first sketch aside) that Schumer falters.
