Jesse Hassenger Guardian Jul 24
2/5
Less a triumphant return than a gradual slinking back, an unspoken assumption that no one really cares that much about his behavior... That disconnect, the lack of shared reality, accounts for some but not all of the special’s halting, uneven quality. Go to Full Review

Either way, know that nothing in this hour expands beyond territory he hasn’t covered -- including, and namely, any epiphanies about responsibility. Those are not coming. Go to Full Review
Vikram Murthi The Atlantic Jul 14
Ridiculous remains uninvolving compared with C.K.’s pre-2017 specials, which fits a pattern: His post-allegation jokes just aren’t as memorable as his most acclaimed routines. Go to Full Review

3/5
While nothing goes as hard or as funnily insightful as previous specials, this made laugh the entire time, which is the point of a stand-up comedy special. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Harri H @PictureNerd 4h I hesitated first to watch this after him being away from the spotlight for so long. I still wanted to give it a shot and boy was it worth it! I have now watched this 3 times and it is pure magic. For me it is the best special of him and the best special in years on netflix. He just suprises you every time with the punchline after another. It seemed that the audience was in awe of how good the jokes were. He seemed so relaxed and confident as always. People how do stand up should take notes how to deliver a joke. Vintage Louis. Still got it. See more David G @dgilmour 5d I have historically loved Louis C.K.'s comedy but this special just had a strange vibe all the way through it. This special felt more like an attempt for new material vs his normally clever and polished sets. And it might sound strange but there are parts that remind me of Andy Kaufman where I get the impression he is more interested in antagonizing the audience instead of trying to make them laugh 🤯 See more Lucien D @DESAR Jul 16 I always enjoyed Louis C.K. his jokes are usually very funny. This show was absolutely miserably bad. It was the worst comedy set on Netflix I've ever seen. I don't want to sound mean (I know how hard it is to build a set for a special). However, the jokes seemed force and didn't flow naturally. I am not sure if he just out of practice or he was doing shows with mega fans and then he used that material for the show. Who knows, who cares - this was not a good show See more Chris B @RT04738031 Jul 16 I'm being generous by leaving three stars because I love Louis. At the end of the day a comedy special is supposed to make you laugh and this one just didn't. Yes he landed a few jokes, yes I laughed a few times but in general I didn't. And that's coming from somebody who thinks Louis CK is one of the funniest people on the planet, I really appreciate the way he approaches comedy but this obviously just didn't do it for me. Brilliant thinking, great craftsmanship, yes. But in the end comedy should make you laugh. See more Thomas B @MolokaiMovieMan Jul 16 Surprisingly bad, and I'm a huge fan of everything he's done (with the exception of his Ingram book). Most of the material was "good", but to be honest, I can't remember a single actual bit one week later. Low energy, flat pacing, no real high points, weak close. Sad. See more Karen F @foster.karen Jul 14 Laughed but not as good as his old specials See more Read all reviews
