benjaminertley-84732's rating
I am honestly in shock how good this was. I was so mad it was only 41 minutes long, he could've went thrice as long and I never would have gotten bored. Anyone who gave this a bad rating must have not actually watched the whole special, or they simply don't like this style of comedy. However, for anyone who likes irreverent comedy i.e. South Park type humor, you will enjoy this. If you're super partisan and love one political party at all costs, this isn't for you. If you're overly Christian or overly liberal, you won't like this. If you think comedy should not go back to the way it was 20+ years ago, this definitely isn't for you. If you prefer 2025 Stephen Colbert to 2007 Stephen Colbert, this certainly isn't for you.
This show is great. It's so disturbing that I can't stop thinking it about it in my free time, which means it was done right. If Netflix keeps on pumping out quality shows of this caliber, they won't have to worry about all of the competitors (who copied their model) taking them down. Long live Netflix!
I can't understand why the critics aren't on board with this show either. It just comes to show you how out of touch they are with the audience-ya know, the ones who matter. The ones who actually consume the show and give Netflix money.
Watch the show and ignore the critics. These are the same people who gave She-Hulk incredible reviews while giving this masterpiece of a show a rubbish rating.

What else needs to be said? Jon offered perspective and nuance to politics; Trevor is an established-democrat pawn. After he went after Joe Rogan-even after Joe defended him when he was under serious heat years ago-made me officially stop watching the show. Is it a coincidence that the ratings for The Daily Show got EVEN lower after his Rogan smear? I think not. This show is Brian Stelter or Sean Hannity bad.
As a political independent, I had hoped Trevor would offer a centrist platform amidst this polarizing news nonsense. Him at the White House correspondents dinner was cringe beyond words.
Until they bring back Jon, this show will continue to tank-it already loses more money than it makes for Comedy Central. Look up the numbers.
