Micitype Pretty Good
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
kingmoleman Ive noticed that 99.99% of the reviews are right-wingers who say "ITS JUST MY OPINION" and then refuse to let anyone else have, you know, an opinion. yes, its left-wing but, no, it doesnt mean that its inherently wrong. there are PLENTY of sources from Actual News Shows^TM and newspapers, so, unless they want to source their arguments against the show and the left in general... im all ears
Johnny H. HBO's had quite the renaissance since the 2000s: with shows the likes of The Sopranos, Band of Brothers, True Blood, Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones, True Detective, The Wire, WestWorld and Last Week Tonight With John Oliver. All these shows are masterpieces in television-culture and have become staples in American entertainment. John Oliver is a nice and more uniquely contemporary addition to those shows in that it's a talk-show that tackles things which the modern world finds confronting: and shows us the funny side of it all, and easing our collective pain.Since 2017, specifically since Donald 'Grab 'em by the Pussy' Trump became President, John Oliver has been doing beautiful and 110% true fact-attacks on Trump and his supporters, ranging from Steve Bannon, David Duke, Alex Jones and many others. And even though these segments cover modern events, they're done in a way that can be told as a story which can still be seen as interesting and entertaining down the track. We ALL have a voice and should NEVER do the hateful things of the people John Oliver is rightfully chastising.This show is a classic and as long as there's an imbalance in modern politics, John Oliver will be there to adjust the scales making sure everyone has the same amount of social power regardless of who they are or where they come from.
samalden-spector I learned pretty much everything covered on this show in magazine articles ~20 years ago so the weekly feigned "omg am I blowing your mind?" is pretty obnoxious. It's also far too partisan and dishonest about who caused which problems (many were actually caused by so-called progressives as well).
plbenson-24793 Gaslighting progressive viewpoints with half-truths that an uneducated viewer will accept as fact? Check. Continuing to spread the hopeless propaganda of the neo-liberal establishment and their corporate owners? Check. John Oliver does absolutely NOTHING to help rectify the problem with Washington today, and that is this: His corporate handlers are the same handlers as those that have bought and own our government. They have a vested interest in making sure that our populace are incapable of critical thinking, lest we become aware of the fact that neither party has the people's interests at heart and are only interested in keeping their donors happy so the gravy train continues to steam forward into complete subordination from the masses.
