Reviews

bendygirl Recorded and watched multiple times. It's something you either love or hate. But I need to note that if you're expecting the Daily Show, you clearly don't know Wyatt Cenac. I learned a lot from each episode and I loved that. It made me question how I think of policing. Looking forward to see what the main common thread will be next season. I especially appreciated the content around sexual assault by the police. I learned a lot about how easy it is for police to get away from sexually harassing their female coworkers and women targeted because they won't tell or won't be believed. Excellent episode.
ScrappyBiscuit It has a little humor, which is fine, but where the show shines is the information and conversations happening on a very serious subject. I love last week tonight for the light it shines on various important subjects, however, you can not try to talk about the issues we have with policing in this country in a 30 minute format, even an hour would not even scratch the surface. The fact it is spread over the entire season, allows for a better examination of the (MANY) flaws that have over taken this public service. I look forward to the rest of the season and looking forward to next season and what topic will be broad stroked.
skippingskippy Crude, profane. Funny only when he said "actors like Jason Bourne", but that's the laughing at him part. Hopefully HBO will drop this show and find something better to spend their viewers money on.
jhogg-62568 I watch a lot of HBO. It's not uncommon for me to watch each Game of Thrones, Westworld, Last Week Tonight, etc. episode 4 or 5 times the week it airs, so I'm no stranger to reruns. I watched most of what I believe is the first episode of Problem Areas and it was the most boring, unfunny thing I've seen on HBO.This is my first IMDB review, which I was inspired to write after realizing that I'd rather watch Win A Date With Tad Hamilton than give Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas another shot.
