Critics Consensus

Drunk History's boozy lectures wear out their welcome fast and the bevy of comedic talent is wasted on cheesy pantomimes, but audiences who enjoy a fresh spin on historical retellings may want to take a swig.

Audience Reviews for Drunk History: Season 1

  • Jan 23, 2021
    It has its moments, but for the most part Drunk History S1 is an unenjoyable and unfunny experience.
  • Sep 03, 2015
    Best half hour show ever. Funny and informative.
  • Sep 01, 2015
