This special has been divided to two very clear parts: the first one is for Netflix which is apologetic, diplomatic and painfully politically correct (he is even apologising for calling certain ladies "less than models looking" or saying sorry to people liking cats more than dogs). Ugh! You can feel the sweat, smell the fear of cancellation (which he actually talk about very clearly) and we can see the massive effort which went into every line to make this special "Netflix friendly"
He says "thank you" for about thousand times which makes the special more like an acceptance speech than a comedy. Lame stories and jokes. Painful to watch.
Then the second part somewhat saves the show from being a complete bore. He first states this is part no longer for Netflix and all of a sudden the old Gabriel is back. The naked joke comes where he even calls some lady a "hoe" (I can already hear the feminists' blood boil) and finally, the first time, the audience smiles. Shame, it only lasts for only one short story. We remember and like him for this small part. I feel like 1,5 hours was a waste of airtime for this.
