It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Chappelle is still funny. He himself is an effing troll, standup style, after lurking all these years. And granted he's dated, but still he's taken a lesson or two from others sprung up in his wake and he knows how to write for the issues of the day, showing that his comedic personality, in spite of great exaggerations to the contrary, has yet not undergone full demise.One thing for sure, the man is a Cosby disciple to the core, except, er, for ostensibly not excelling in the rape department. I only notice this now that Cosby is basically dead and Chappelle is riding roughshod, getting cheered over Cosby's corpse, it's obvious that Dave has taken his core lessons from Cosby. Look at all the white people laughing and practically begging for his approval while he makes fun of them. In any case, it's amazing how he can get us laughing hard enough at both Cosby and O.J. Simpson to not mind when reminds of their respective achievements.I'm still laughing too but no way I'm ever gonna pay for it.

he used to be great but he has relied upon the same jokes now for about 10 years and there is nothing "special" about this special. I am sure there are plenty of bad reviews based on his politics but this special just stinks. While he blames the bad reviews on the "alt- right", he should probably be looking in the mirror. I am sure any 10 review is solely based on his political statements not this special.

I'm giving this special a 9, not a 10, because I'm leaving Dave room to improve. I honestly can't find flaw with this performance, but watching it made me feel like there's still more to come, and it will be even better. If I give this a 10 and he puts out a better set, what then? Of the two Netflix sets out so far (this and 'Age of Spin'), I liked this one slightly more, but the difference isn't much. They're both really good.Without spoiling anything, what you get here is a new Dave Chappelle that retains all the qualities of the old one. His comedy is very much still 'Chappelle' material, whatever that means, but with longer sets he has a chance to make a few statements and show his intelligence as well. Don't worry, though, he doesn't sacrifice laughs to make points or badger you with political views. He simply mixes it up a bit more, uses his time wisely and capitalizes on the opportunity to deliver a much more intimate set than anything he's produced before now.It's Dave Chappelle as good as ever, back with new material. If IMDb let me, that's all I would have written. If you like great comedy sets, you'll like this.

This was filmed in Austin, Texas in 2015. The two years delay does leave some of the jokes dated. Paula Deen and Ebola are no longer hot takes. It's a problem that Netflix should watch out for in the future.Dave Chappelle starts with a bunch of kids throwing a banana peel at him. He's also doing some gay jokes which is always a little awkward. I wouldn't recommend Louis C.K. to concentrate on doing black jokes either. It's always coaxed by him that he has nothing against gays but... It's kinda funny but he's also spending too much time with it.He gets into personal stuff that's not always that personal. I get a sense that most of it is spun from slivers of truth. Did he get a blackmail tape? Possibly but the comedy embellishments don't feel real. He definitely didn't get two tapes. As usual, he's very funny with the material. There are plenty of laughs as he takes us on a ride but the car is not the newest and it's not a classic either.
