More Critic Reviews for Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas Season 1 All Critics (9) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (0) What sets Problem Areas apart from many of its news/comedy counterparts is its ongoing look at a single issue: policing in America. May 18, 2018 | Full Review… Steve Greene indieWire Top Critic While the show - done without an audience - contains plenty of jokes, the mission and the research are serious...while the jokes don't disappear, the policing segment starts. It's a promising format. May 14, 2018 | Full Review… Linda Holmes NPR Top Critic Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas gives a comic a platform to get serious about issues that concern him, but in essence should concern us all. Aug 28, 2018 | Full Review… Alci Rengifo Entertainment Voice Most importantly, it's interested in answering questions that too often are ignored. May 17, 2018 | Full Review… Soraya Nadia McDonald The Undefeated Host's relaxed vibe is a welcome alternative in late night. Apr 26, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Mark Dolan Common Sense Media Problem Areas isn't interested in telling you what to think, it's interested in making you think. Apr 18, 2018 | Full Review… Chris Osterndorf The Daily Dot Problem Areas instead provokes sighs of disgust. The show is acutely aware of its smallness and impotence. Notably, much of its non-law-enforcement material concerns, directly or otherwise, impending environmental disasters. May 31, 2018 | Full Review… Troy Patterson New Yorker Top Critic [Wyatt] Cenac is a major talent, and there's no reason to think this program won't get stronger as it goes along. Apr 17, 2018 | Full Review… Matt Zoller Seitz New York Magazine/Vulture Top Critic An almost solemn mission, but Problem Areas is full of the self-possessed humor Cenac's honed in his stand-up act and time in front of a Comedy Central green screen. Apr 13, 2018 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Danette Chavez AV Club Top Critic View All Critic Reviews (9) Audience Reviews for Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas: Season 1 Jun 11, 2018 i think this show is great... super funny and really well put together... i really hope it stays on the air... thanks HBO Ricco T See all Audience reviews News & Features 150 Erotic Movies Ranked worst to best! 2019's Most Anticipated 63 movies coming up this year 200 Essential Movies Chosen by RT staff!
