I believe this is my favorite of the Netflix specials just because of the low key energy Dave had through out the whole thing and the wisdom he provides. What he says about the sexual allegations was profound to me. Example being of him talking about how some prominent male actors wanted to help the women's causes but instead get ostracize because they themselves also did some sexual harassing/assaulting themselves in their younger days. Then he beautifully draws a parallel with what happened in South Africa's apartheid and how that situation got solved not by ostracizing everyone that contributed to the system but by making a safe space for everyone to confess to what they did(Full disclosure, I don't know if that's true or not. I just took Dave's word for it.) So pretty much saying that that's what women in Hollywood should do. They should make a safe space for men to confess their sins so that they can learn and move on. Then of course the allegory of the iceberg slim's book "Pimp" to why he left the Chappelle show was very profound.

Personally I never knew Dave Chappelle was this intelligent. Don't get me wrong. I never thought the man was stupid. I just thought he was only a talented comedian. But he shows that he's a little bit more than that and that's why this is my favorite of his Netflix stand up.

TL:DR: It is a really good stand up set. Not too many zingers but very interesting watch nonetheless because of the wisdom he speaks on the sexual assaults in Hollywood and also the reason (kindof) of why he left the Chappelle show.
