I want 60 minutes of my life back, PLEASE. As the previous reviewer stated, Kamau literally did not make any substantial jokes the entire series. It was laden with presumptuous racism that assumes the audience agrees with him. Unlike a Dave Chapelle who is at least very talented at getting his personal world view across, Kamau simply regurgitated the news for the past year and ascribes racism to otherwise innocuous interactions he has had in life. He called a curious older lady racist: wrong! He called a store clerk at the airport racist: wrong! He encourages his daughters to compete over skin color-- how does someone laugh about that? His soliloquy about Doc McStuffin's was just disappointing... While diversity in preschool aged television is fantastic and beautiful I do not believe the intent is to discredit physicians of other races and ethnicities. His worldview is so infuriatingly narrow and dull for a so-called "woke" person. Can we stop using race and Trump as joke-fodder? Some of the greatest comedians of all time achieved success authentically and with sincerity. While we can agree to dislike Mr. Trump by a vast majority, I think we'd like to depart from CNN for an hour while watching a not-so-funny comedy piece on Netflix. To be honest, I do not think he spent more than 15 minutes preparing for this segment. Try again next time, Kamau, with fewer to zero Trump and race "jokes".
