At Home with Amy Sedaris is a comedy series from truTV that premiered in 2017 and ran for three seasons before concluding in 2020. The show is created by and stars former Strangers with Candy cast member Amy Sedaris as the host of a homemaking show that's anything but traditional.

The show bills itself as a unique take on the homemaking genre, featuring Sedaris as she invites viewers into her eccentric world, teaching them everything they need to know about cooking, entertaining, and crafting, all while paying homage to classic lifestyle shows of the past. However, At Home with Amy Sedaris offers a surreal twist that sets it apart, bringing a subversive and often absurd sense of humor to every aspect of the show.

Each episode of the show is built around a specific theme, such as "Fish" or "Grieving," which Sedaris then uses as a jumping-off point for a series of bizarre and hilarious skits, sketches, and segments. Along the way, she's joined by a rotating cast of guest stars who help her present cooking tips, crafting advice, and general life skills, all with a dash of off-kilter humor.

At Home with Amy Sedaris also features a recurring cast of characters that Sedaris plays herself, including Patti Hogg, a perky homemaking expert with a dark side, and Tony the Knife Man, a mysterious craftsman with a fondness for sharp objects. These characters, along with a variety of other wacky personalities, feature in recurring sketches that make up the backbone of the show.

Sedaris maintains a consistent sense of playful energy throughout At Home with Amy Sedaris, bringing her trademark wit and whimsy to every episode. But despite the off-the-wall humor and absurdity, there's a genuine affection for classic homemaking shows and DIY culture that runs throughout the series. Sedaris is clearly nostalgic for these kinds of shows, and she honors them even as she twists them into something new and strange.

Throughout its run, At Home with Amy Sedaris was praised for its inventiveness and its commitment to its own unique brand of comedy. Critics lauded Sedaris' performance, noting that she's perfectly suited to the show's tongue-in-cheek tone and that her comedic timing is impeccable. The show's writing, too, was well-regarded, with many critics noting that while the humor might be off-kilter, it's never mean-spirited or cruel.

Perhaps the biggest strength of At Home with Amy Sedaris, however, is its adaptability. Despite its first-run status as a traditional television series, the show thrives on social media and other digital platforms, where it has developed a devoted fanbase of viewers who love the show's unique blend of humor and homemade charm. Additionally, as a result of the show's highly structured format, At Home with Amy Sedaris is highly rewatchable, with viewers able to easily revisit their favorite sketches and moments from past episodes.

Overall, At Home with Amy Sedaris is a highly entertaining and truly original comedy series. It's a show that deftly manages to balance its affection for classic homemaking and cooking shows with a healthy dose of irreverence and absurdity, resulting in a show that's both nostalgic and innovative all at once. With its witty writing, superb performances, and commitment to its own unique comic voice, At Home with Amy Sedaris is a must-watch for anyone with a fondness for DIY culture and quirky humor.

At Home with Amy Sedaris is a series that ran for 3 seasons (30 episodes) between October 24, 2017 and on truTV
