Concepción de León New York Times 11/13/2018
The version on Netflix is even sharper and more incisive than I remember, showcasing a type of harsh, honest humor that's distinctly Latinx. Go to Full Review Ecleen Caraballo Jezebel 11/13/2018
Leguizamo's history class is not an end all, be all-it leaves out pieces of Central American history I would have liked to see-but rather serves as a starting point, and he's the perfect educator for the task. Go to Full Review Carli Velocci Paste Magazine 11/13/2018
7/10
However, where the show shines is in those Latin history segments and how they impact him. They are educational-and not just to the titular "morons"-and paint a depressing picture about the history of conquered civilizations. Go to Full Review Kayleigh Donaldson Pajiba 11/13/2018
Leguizamo is so at ease on the stage, you can't help but wonder why he doesn't do this every day. He jumps from joke to joke... recounting incredibly tender moments in Latinx history with a deftness that still feels entirely spontaneous.

It's certainly the least boring chalk talk in the history of U.S. history classes... Go to Full Review Sean L. McCarthy Decider 11/05/2018
His previous one-man shows showcased Leguizamo's wide range of characters and caricatures. Here, he's on a search for anyone in the annals who might serve as a true Latino hero for his middle-school son to admire. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephanie H. @RiskyRoxie Dec 14 The Commentator is far too arrogant for his real IQ. A lot of bad acting going on in something meant to teach you something. Not impressed. See more Warren S 07/01/2023 Just watched, wow. I did the the research for my college papers. And he is spot on. See more Luis G. C 10/07/2022 Many, many inconsistencies. Pre-Columbine Latin American History was riddled with violence and blood. Caribs ate people, including the 'cuddly' Tainos. Aztecs killed, raped, and decimated other indigenous tribes. Modern Latin Americans are more Spanish than anything else, barring some places in Mexico, Guatemala, and Peru. Focusing on perceived grievances is falling into victim-culture. Focus on the present. See more Conrad S @CSpoke 10/03/2022 90% of the "history" in this one-man show is absolute twaddle. No, Europeans did not engage in "germ warfare." They had no idea what germs were. No, indigenous peoples of the Americas did not use "wooden swords" to make war so that they wouldn't kill each other. Their weapons had obsidian knife edges, and they had marvelous bone-crushing war clubs. No, the Mayans and Aztecs were not peaceful kingdoms living in a socialist paradise. They slaughtered and enslaved their neighbors, just like every other nasty tribe on this planet. And no, the pre-Columbian peoples had no conception of racial unity across two continents. This show was just embarrassing. See more Daniel 09/18/2022 Great watch, but Netflix Australia literally cut short his Sons speach to show Trailers for other shows!! I feel embarrassed, hope they fix this!! See more dave d 11/23/2021 There is no doubt there are moments, but it wasn't tight enough for a comedy special or informative enough for something else. Lots of fluff here, but fans of John Leguizamo should be satisfied. Hubby: 6.2/Wife: 7.4 Average: 6.8/10 See more Read all reviews
