Great for Netflix, could've been better for Jeselnik
3 May 2019
I was looking forward to this. Here's what to expect:

Positives:
  • Makes fun of anything, that's refreshing in 2019.


Negatives:
  • His delivery somehow got even slower to the point I wasn't sure if the video was playing at regular speed.
  • Jokes felt tamer than before, or already said in previous specials.
  • I don't like the beard. My favorite thing about him before was after delivering an offensive joke he'd have a grin like he knows just how many people just got offended - now that priceless smile is hidden behind a mustache nobody asked for. Keep the beard, shave the stache.
  • Last joke dragged for too long and wasn't funny. I feel like sometimes in trying to be "offensive" he really misses on some good opportunities. And things start to feel repetitive if you've seen his previous two specials.


Overall: This is an exceptional special for Netflix. Usually they'd just hire some random bootleg-Hooters waitress that spews liberal statements, call it a special, put her on the front page. The usual Netflix trash. But occasionally you get an actual comedian like Bill Burr, Rogan, Jeselnik - who actually do funny jokes. Neat.
