Liza on Demand
What's the Story?
LIZA ON DEMAND is an original YouTube series starring Liza Koshy as Liza, a young woman who is struggling to get her career in order. While friends and roommates Oliver (Travis Coles) and Harlow (Kimiko Glenn) seem to have clear goals in life, Liza spends her time running around trying to make money by driving for Uber, being an Instagram shopper, and working other app-centered part-time jobs. But when she discovers that working for a service called TaskIt will pay more and provide insurance to those who make it to their elite status, she starts doing whatever she can to complete every job she's tasked with, remain in client demand, and make this particular side hustle her main gig.
Is It Any Good?
This lighthearted but well-written series features a new generation of adults whose worlds revolve around digital entrepreneurialism and social media. From finding ways to make money, to building and expanding a brand, it humorously highlights some of the highs and lows that come with a tech-saturated lifestyle.
Liza on Demand doesn't offer a lot of substance, but Liza Koshy is charming, and her off-the-wall roommates make for some colorful conversations. Guest appearances by folks like Jennifer Esposito and Valerie Harper also add to the fun. If you're looking for something light and entertaining to watch, this might fit the bill.
