Life is a journey for Ben Hoffman, and he needs a lot of help navigating it. The comedian stars in a sketch show/man-on-the-street hybrid that sees him exploring the randomness of everyday existence. In each hourlong episode he sets a goal -- examples: form a band; buy a gun; go on a blind date -- and works toward it with the help of advice from family members, friends and complete strangers. The journeys interweave vignettes as well as sketches, and there are also original songs and animated pieces.

After half an hour, I don't want to spend much more time with Ben Hoffman. Go to Full Review Roger Cormier New York Magazine/Vulture 05/15/2020
The Ben Show, at least for now, is awfully schizophrenic, but at least that means that there's a little something for everybody. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety 05/15/2020
If it's occasionally clever, like a lot of these shows, it's just as often annoying. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 05/15/2020
2/5
Hoffman's deadpan humor is appealing, and some of the interviews contain very funny unplanned moments. But other parts of the show are more startlingly offensive than they are funny or edgy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
