Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Tardis101 The Daily Show with Jon Stewart was a great show, focusing on culture and politics through an unbiased humanist approach (which of course usually tends to be towards leftist politics). When Trevor Noah took over it became dull and clearly developed a painful neoliberal bias. It's like watching MSNBC, shilling for Hillary Clinton, no longer focusing on the multiple injustices of both Republicans and Democrats but primarily becoming a show to just mock Donald Trump, and that honestly doesn't take much effort or much humor.
soniablade-45833 What a garbage show. How is Comedy Central allowing this trash? We want Stewart back!!!!!!!! And this dude can get deported for all we care.
LiquidPoetry1921 It's hard to fill the shoes of someone who was such an iconic host...as is obvious with Trevor Noah taking over 'The Daily Show' from Jon Stewart. Admittedly less successful than Jimmy Fallon was replacing Jay Leno on 'The Tonight Show', Noah would probably be taken a lot more favorably had this been his own show from the start and not as Stewart's replacement ~ a VERY hard act to follow.That being said, Trevor Noah IS funny...especially his comedic take on the current Trump Administration and all its pathetic minions, from Sean Spicer to Kellyanne Conway. Add into that the corrupt Vladimir Putin, deranged Kim Jung Un, and our entire dysfunctional Congress, Noah could easily do an hour long show five nights a week!This South African native has spot-on comedic timing and sarcastic facial expressions that really bring the jokes home! Although 'The Daily Show' still has dozens of writers like it did with Stewart, without someone to deliver them in a funny way makes them completely useless. And unlike many of the reviewers here, I find Trevor Noah hilarious ~ and really look forward to the show the four weeknights it's on!
Fernando Conti Last year I wrote the review below, but a lot has changed since.I must say Trevor Noah is doing a stellar job, and I was wrong and impatient. I think I wanted Jon Stewart back, but there is only one Jon Stewart. Which doesn't mean nobody else would be able to do a great job.I also loved Noah's new Netflix stand-up show! He is seriously 5- star funny!***************************************************Look, it's not that we have to be stuck with Noah. I mean, in every business it's like this: if you are not competent you get fired.Noah is not smart enough, also pointed out by him saying things like 'I didn't expect there would be so much journalism involved', he brings down the ratings, and he is by far less funny than any single member of the old crew. The constant laughing about his own jokes doesn't help either.Yes, nobody can replace Stewart, but at least do your best to find someone who *understands* the concept. Do your due diligence before making such a big move.Comedy Central really screwed the pooch by not considering/ignoring/letting Samantha Bee leave. She was the perfect choice. Just look at her current ratings. By the way, she brought with her the two head writers from Stewart's team.And about the old crew, look at the new crew. Someone like Trevor Noah attracts mediocre talent, mediocre writers and a mediocre production. That is why Jessica Williams is leaving this week.There are enough smart not-too-young women and men who can do a much better job. But if they don't make me laugh out loud to begin with, then don't even bother.
