As intended, they also lend extra meaning to the title. She's grown since 2017, and that's complicated, too. In fact, Growing feels a little like a show that's been engineered to manage fan expectations, or literally stage-manage them, as if to say, this is the new Amy Schumer who's a lot like the old Amy Schumer but new nonetheless. Approaching 40 (she's 37) and motherhood, some evolution is expected and probably necessary. But the transition can't be easy — especially for Schumer."
