    The old show but focused on real people and real problems

    Thankfully this isn't just the Daily Show 2.0. Instead of a joke driven show on the politics of the day, this is closer to what Jon did with 9/11 first responders. He takes a step back and really lets his guests shine. It's heartfelt and sincere with just a touch of humor. If you downvote this without watching or watch this episode and are not moved because of 'insert idiotic partisan reason', shame on you.

    I don't know any more about this issue than I did 43 minutes ago

    A weak start, the old Jon Stewart would have provided more information in 10 minutes than the new Jon Stewart did in 43 minutes. Kill the producers meetings segments, provide data rather than individual anecdotes (also, a 6 person panel requires considerably more than 10 minutes) and don't go to an interview unless it introduces new information.

    O look! Mother Theresa just came over

    I think they have made 'returning home' so dangerous because now... every American Soldier is deadly in war... as they would rather be KIA rather than return back...

    Review from an European

    Apple is an American company and Apple TV+ audience is largely American, so I am not really expecting the show to focus too much on WORLD issues, but rather on American issues that can be transposed to the European reality.

    I really enjoyed the first episode of this show. It was funny (yes), but also deep, sincere and informative, rather than superficial and trying too hard to get a laugh from the audience.

    I am definitely going to keep watching every episode. It is culturally enriching and I like to understand the American reality has much as the European one.

    Also, even though I am a John Oliver fan, I can't help but feel that he tries too hard to get that laugh from the audience, by sometimes evoking references that not always people understand. That is where he sometimes loses me.

    I hope Apple and John Stewart can keep up the good work!

    Good, but title is misleading

    Jon Stewart as we remembered him, putting the pressure on interesting topics and putting spotlight on the American lie.

    But, it's not The Problem with WAR, it's the problem with Veterans Healthcare, or more precisely, with how the US Army disposes waste.

    The Burn Holes, damage severely the veterans, as discussed in the episode, but they make significant harm to the environment, which is another American lie and inconsistency. That was the elephant in the room that wasn't covered or even mentioned.
