Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
SpecialsTarget Disturbing yet enthralling
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
rhpatterson I like Michelle wolf and I really want to like this show. It's been a welcome change to see a woman hosting a show along the lines of Last week tonight and the daily show. Unfortunately the jokes generally attack men repeatedly which in moderation is fine but having it as 90% of the content starts to get old. Yeah I get it that there's a lot of men in the world that have done terrible evil things but saying all white males are the same it makes you feel like garbage. I want more female representation and more quality hosts like Michelle but watching a show and feeling like garbage when you've done nothing wrong that sucks for anyone
dschmeding I was already irritated by the buzz around Michelle Wolfs correspondence dinner speech. Many put her in a place like she was critical and funny like no comedian before her... which just is not the case. The years prior to her speech were much better, just look at Hasan Minaj in 2017. It felt like people wanted to push a woman to feel good during #metoo season. Her jokes were Ok, but felt forced and were not that original.So obviously what happened is ... she made a buzz and got a show. And that show suffers from the same problems as her speech, just way worse. First of all... no one needs another political comedy show making jokes about politicians and especially Trump. Jim Jefferies already stumbled into that trap and his show is way better than this, although still annoying with the repetitive lame Trump jokes. This show just feels unnecessary because again... Michelles Jokes feel uninspired and often forced. Throw in some sexual stuff for shock value, then bash republicans, bash democrats, do the usual in-between segments which feel like they belong in a lame skit show... you know it all. Its the same old routine, just way worse... why did Netflix do this? I mean, they even put a DJ in the show who is basically just standing around and is hardly included. Its another detail that shows how uninspired and copycat this show is. And the worst thing of all.... Michelle Wolf has zero charisma. She looks into the teleprompter like a zombie with dead eyes. Her whole body language oozes insecurity which she tries to gloss over with being rude and filthy but meanwhile its really hard to stand that annoying voice for long. She sounds like fingernails on a blackboard after a while. If she was funny ... OK. There are several comedians who make up for lack in charisma with being funny or just different. But i can't see anything here. Even the feminist angle feels lame as it has been done over and over lately by Samantha Bee and other female comedians. And honestly... most of them failed too with their shows. This format is dead for quite a while and it hurts to see so many good comedians being burned in unnecessary shows like this. To me Michelle Wolf isn't even one of them.
Jessattard31 Although, as she points out, her voice is like a foghorn, Michelle Wolf is sharp and hilarious - give it a go.
mrondpre Love that there's something like this to watch when SNL is on a break. Keeps me up to date with current events and gives me a laugh!
