VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
IamSchecky Depending on your age, you may not know Dave's history as a comedian. Since he's been gone from late night TV, we get a sharper look at his genius and compelling talent through this series of Netflix shows. Every episode brings someone bigger than life and nearly an hour of their life story and/or accomplishments with Dave's one of a kind crafty wit drawing out the scenery in a way that makes one realize how spectacularly talented Letterman truly is, and how much he's missed. I found every guest at least a 10 for intriguing, with one exception, and Dave always a 10. This is a rare taste of post Late Night talent you really shouldn't miss. It's unlike what you might expect and more heartfelt than I can describe. I've watched the Obama episode 3 times and others twice. The Jay-Z episode didn't seem to connect like the others but I'd rate the other episodes high enough that the average would still be a 10. Do yourself a favor and don't miss this gem. See how you'd rate it. No doubt you'll enjoy though. This is the end of Season 1 with 7 episodes and I really hope there's another season planned!
workshop-226-743561 I was beyond excited that Dave was returning to my home & eagerly awaiting this series. However I get the feeling that Letterman is much more focused on entertaining himself with this endeavor than he is we, the viewers.I think his first episode choice of President Obama was a mistake. Politicians are anodyne & guarded and rarely genuine which makes for boring interviews. I was more hopeful for the Clooney interview but was also disappointed. There's not alot of entertaining, witty banter, which where Dave thrives. Instead a very serious conversation coupled with secondary interview of Clooney's dad and a very depressing conversation with a Syrian Refugee.Like I said I get the feeling Dave is really out to please himself more than anybody else here. Apparently he finds these people interesting and is looking to have serious, politically orientated conversations. To boot, In both episodes that have been released the conversations never really get that in depth because they are interlaced secondary interviews & pre-taped footage.I hope Dave is having fun with people finds interesting and I'm glad he's doing what he wants. So far though, I haven't found the guests very interesting or the conversation at all fun. I just want to be entertained, and so far I haven't been. I predict this series is a one and out.
iNickR Sometimes Letterman had guests you wanted to see more of, rather than the 5 or 6 minutes they were allotted on his previous shows with CBS and NBC. Consider it done now with Dave's new Netflix show, "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction".Gone are (most) wise cracks and self deprecating humor Letterman was famous for on his late-night shows. There's no band, no lengthy witty monologue about current events, and really no set either. Filmed in a college auditorium in New York, the "set" is two leather chairs and a table sitting in the middle of a large stage. Lights, cameras and other technical equipment are sometimes seen in various shots throughout the program but that's the whole feel of the show; it's not an error and it fits nicely with the format.We see a different Letterman here than the one we're used to. A white-bearded, easygoing fellow who appears to be a lot more chill and in his element. There's no pressure to keep people laughing and tuning in, and it shows on screen (that's not a bad thing). There's no hard-nosed journalism, thankfully. Consider it like this: two friends chatting about life, and you the viewer, are invited to listen in. Very personal questions, and very personal answers that are from the heart.Letterman talks with the kind of guests you wish you saw more of when they were on his late-night shows. "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction" (and yet he does introduce them) is nearly an hour long, broken up with brief produced segments to keep the flow going. You probably won't catch every episode; rather you'll want to see the ones with people you admire or those whom always have something interesting to say. And that's OK; that's just the kind of show it is. Personally, I tuned in to the first episode with Barack Obama (his first talk show appearance since leaving office), and I'll probably watch the next episode with George Clooney, where Letterman makes a surprise visit to the Clooney home. Unlike many Netflix shows the entire season has not been released all at once.
