Aziz Ansari balances sharp social commentary with just enough earnest introspection to craft a special that, while not without its baggage, shows how far the comedian has come - and how far he may still have to go.

The jokes here are by turns extremely earnest and extremely cynical, and there is insight buzzing in the messy mergers of the two. Jul 11, 2019 | Full Review…

By framing the new special around his personal story, and also trimming and refining some weak spots, his act now coheres, taking on a new force and clarity, one that represents his finest, boldest and probably most polarizing work. Jul 10, 2019 | Full Review…

[T]his is still the work of a comedy veteran who channels righteous fed-up-ness and critiques obliviousness with relatable flair. Jul 10, 2019 | Full Review…

Complaining about "wokeness" could easily come off as out of touch and cranky, but Ansari largely avoids that trap by cracking slyly scathing jokes. Jul 10, 2019 | Full Review…

Aziz Ansari feels guilty, grateful, angry, ashamed, bewildered and chastened. He's quite funny about some of these emotions. Not so funny about others. Jul 10, 2019 | Full Review…

His show is funny and insightful, but it's also emotional. It's enough to make you forgive him for his sins. Aug 5, 2019 | Full Review…

There is plenty of crowd-pleasing stuff - bits about trying to explain racism in America to his white Danish girlfriend as well as topics he has addressed before, like the unfair burden of contraception placed on women. Jul 25, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Ansari's gags, whether poking fun at himself or his gullible audience, have a soul-searching feel, as if the tainted comic is exploring where he fits amidst all these debates and controversies. Jul 13, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Ansari's special is funny, although the tone and delivery of it are less animated than his earlier material; he sounds tired at times, even when he starts laughing. Jul 12, 2019 | Full Review…
