What sets Problem Areas apart from many of its news/comedy counterparts is its ongoing look at a single issue: policing in America.
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.
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.
Most importantly, it's interested in answering questions that too often are ignored.
[Wyatt] Cenac is a major talent, and there's no reason to think this program won't get stronger as it goes along.
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.
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.
Host's relaxed vibe is a welcome alternative in late night.
Problem Areas isn't interested in telling you what to think, it's interested in making you think.

Oct 14, 2019If you watch both seasons, you get a double major: a major in critical theory and major clinical depression. Look at the TOMATOMETER, then check "Sticks and Stones"
