Reviews

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
thepromisemaker This show is delightful and heartbreaking. I dare say that these reviews declaring this show boring must be written by some boring-ass people (or, I don't know-by a bunch of sore-sport cops?). Wyatt Cenac is a joy to behold, to laugh with, to cry with, all of it. Problem Areas is nuanced & informative without being preachy or oversimplified; it's stylistically engaging & original; it deftly balances feeling comfortably conversational & endearingly nostalgic while digging in on critically important & most-often maddening issues, keeping it just breezy enough to entertain us along the way to ever more righteous rage. Policing in America c. 2018 cannot EVER be questioned too much-because it's a multilayered convoluted freaking atrocity, people-but taking a dose of our bitter pill with a side of Wyatt Cenac is pretty delicious.
eliheinz This is not a comedy show. It is an informative documentary series on the current state of our public system in the U.S. And it is beautiful A honest piece, that uses humor to break the tensions of analyzing very serious and real problems affecting many in the country today. I just wish one didn't need a HBO subscription to view it.
ScrappyBiscuit It has a little humor, which is fine, but where the show shines is the information and conversations happening on a very serious subject. I love last week tonight for the light it shines on various important subjects, however, you can not try to talk about the issues we have with policing in this country in a 30 minute format, even an hour would not even scratch the surface. The fact it is spread over the entire season, allows for a better examination of the (MANY) flaws that have over taken this public service. I look forward to the rest of the season and looking forward to next season and what topic will be broad stroked.
llundber Sadly, this sort of nonsense is becoming the norm. Not much is taught to people by denegrating every element of the discussion and trying to be crassly funny/cute. What a horrible show and writer/narrator.
