Renewed for a second season already, so hopefully more people will see it. Slightly different humor than John Oliver, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Samantha Bee, but it's in the same vein of political information mixed with a comedies point of view. New ideas? informative without pandering. Cenac's approach is a refreshing balance to the styles of John Oliver, Jim Jefferies, and the Daily Show team.

The primary differences being that the humor is flat, no one's smoking weed on the show, the interviewer actually goes out into the field and the interviewer just happens to be Black. Was this review helpful? When Cenac opens up each episode in a studio peppered with monitors and mid-century modern furniture, there are occasionally some cutaway gags with funny voices to help punctuate some of the punchlines.

Wyatt Cenac's problem area is that he has not yet found the original/distinctive voice that will make this program compelling viewing. That being said, I could always go for a little more of Cenac's humor and smiles, and a little less on the audio during police shootings.

It was watchable, but any serious documentary maker or journalist could have delivered Wyatt's piece, which was low key, and flat. Common to this politically correct thought that is all over the place these days. It’s not that decades of systemic adversity can be overturned with a single snap. Way too many generalizations and assumptions with no factual basis. It has a little humor, which is fine, but where the show shines is the information and conversations happening on a very serious subject. In its premiere episode, Cenac is up-front and unapologetic about how this plays into the remainder of the season.

This is a show so safe, it must have been conceived by an artificially intelligent algorithm crunching twitter buzzwords, HBO demographics, and CNN headlines. The show lacked the goofiness of the Daily Show's correspondents' segments on the road (no absurd interviewing) or the devastating irony of John Oliver's long segments (no one is likely to register a church in this show). With his effortless ability to pose questions in ways that really make you think, Cenac feels like the coolest teacher you ever had in school.

Was this review helpful? I believe in criminal justice reform so much that I literally moved to Washington DC to work for a criminal justice non-profit. I thought the first episode was somewhat underwhelming. Much more about feelings than facts without true objective thought. Love it. Was this review helpful?

This show benefits from being an effective extension of what makes Cenac an engaging comic. There definitely was some good stuff to learn, behind the scenes reality that we don't get to see was eye opening.

Cheers!This could have been great, far left opinions abound.I tried, multiple times to give it a chance. Suprised to see such a low rating here.

Looking forward to more, more, more!
