This mockumentary series is very informative if you're not a US citizen. At first you won't believe what you're witnessing, idk how he pulls this off. Who Is America? will ruin all talk/news satire programmes for you.

He does it again

Hardcore Comedy Meets Activism

Wow... This show is absolutely off the chain - and disturbingly eye-opening! Sasha Baron Cohen disguises himself into five (5) ideologically different personas to essentially perform an experiment on what is claimed as "American Patriotism"! Sure, sounds overly derivative, but his take is hilariously intriguing! #DoEnjoy
Cohen deserves 10 stars just for keeping a straight face

I really don't know how anyone can keep up the act when someone had their pants down yelling "usa!!! 'merica" while coming towards you butt first. This is absolute genius! I was laughing so hard my stomach hurts lol.
Imagine if there were no cameras

To truly enjoy you have to appreciate what he is doing, and that this is mostly unscripted and he is ridiculing so much of society.
Cohens ability to get people to believe him is fantastic. Whil many of us may have ideas for pranks most of us would be unable to stay in character and think on our feet without laughing as people seriously believe what is being said.
There was moments with each "victim" where I thought they might lose it and I was impressed by many at their courtesy despite what Cohen was saying - for that reason I wonder what was said either when the cameras stopped, or even after he left.
The extremes of society, left and right, are often so worthy of ridicule - and I am sure we will see many of them not get it, or get offended by it. Lets hope some people might even learn from this.
Brilliant. Off to rewatch the original Ali G
THIS IS NOT TV- THIS IS ACTIVISM

What he has done in two episodes is more than John Oliver may have done in his first two seasons- and John was a game changer. Cohen's ability to expose the most tone-deaf aspects of people is pitch-perfect. Careers- political careers in particular- will change from this... they already have.
Die hard republican who finds this hilarious

Only one episode so far, but from start to finish, it was a blast! My favourite character would have to be Erran (which is like Borat but is an anti terror expert so ya, lmao). Watch it , you won't be disappointed. Unless you're someone like the people in here giving it 1 star, then too bad for you, and I hope you can heal from the brainwashing.
Yes. Just yes

A Genius & Sociopolitical Game Changer
summervanderhart24 July 2018
Sasha Baron Cohen's work is remarkable, I always praised the genius of Borat, but never thought he could deliver it at such high stakes, cleverly manipulating the heads of state and to do the unthinkable while keeping a straight face through it all. This goes down as one of the best works in history.
Perfection

Sacha is a comedic genius
klintmcintire9 August 2018
Sacha Baron Cohen has cemented himself as a legend with his latest show. Never has there been an entertainer with such a unique ability to goad those he interviews into revealing their demented nature. My one issue with Who is America would be that 90% of his efforts go in to messing with conservatives on the far right. I think there's plenty of fun to be had with ultraliberals as well. This show is clearly catered to those who abhor Trump, so I can understand the formula. As a political moderate, I just wish he'd go after EVERYONE
Kudos

It seems that every few years we're treated to a cheeky and outrageous, but hilarious, cinematic masterpiece by Sacha Baron Cohen.
This time around it's in the form of Who Is America.
Cohen has no doubt spent considerable time perfecting his characters. Cohen's ability to think on hiis feet AS and IN character is superb - much like Robin Williams was able to do (RIP).
Who Is America gets a thumbs up from me.

Just what a divided country needs!

Sacha Baron Cohen gets both sides of our country to say ridiculous things. I never thought he would be able to go unrecognizable again. Kudos to his makeup department! Love this show, looking forward to more! Hilarious and relevant.
Hilarious
RussHog27 August 2018
Very glad to see Sasha Baron Coen back. Some of these skits are extremely funny. The one where the PC guy quotes Will Smith to a famous rap artist as a way to be culturally sensitive is so funny. Also the one where the silly head talks to Sherif Joe Arpaio - WTF? I miss the classic characters but this was a special show.
The satire continues with the low ball reviews here
chrisafhaines25 July 2018
Bernie gets it. The ex ABC news anchor gets it. These are the slow burners. The antidote to the rest of interview targets in episode 1 and 2.
The others get absolutely nailed by the brilliant Sasha. A whole heap of planning must go into these set-up's but the ludicrous subject matter just gets these interviewees so excited. It seems increadulous. The blinkers are on and the gloves are off.
Satire is not about laugh out loud funny. This is an indictment of a part of America that cannot help themselves.
Be smart. Be like Bernie.

Audacious Comedy at the right time
davidmccrank-8556017 July 2018
Sasha Baron Cohen is at it again! Hilarious, audacious and shocking, this series is here at just the right time in America's history.
What he brings out in his subjects is brilliant, it really blows my mind what some Americans believe in, no wonder so many are pissed at him for exposing their views. Good. They need to look at themselves a bit more closely, and Cohen definitely achieves this.
Brilliant and Hilarious
A hilarious light shined on a very sad reality
mattwillson21 July 2018
The sad reality is that there are far too many Americans dumb enough to support people like Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, Mitch McConnel, etc., etc. Sacha Cohen once again does a great job of pointing out the hypocrisy and sheer idiocy of America's current political stance. Hopefully this will shine more light on the glaring lack of education, critical thinking, and fact checking in American citizens today.
he's a genius
