Season 1 Review:
There’s something brain-tickling and even a bit unsettling (in a good way) about this consistently funny but sometimes melancholy work. Sandler reteams with “Uncut Gems” co-director Josh Safdie for a special that exists in the real world, with the real Adam Sandler putting on a brilliant show, yet also veers into a kind of surreal, alternate-universe setting.

Season 1 Review:
In this tight, still-fresh, 70-minute special, Sandler takes on a reflective mode, not merely musing on his own aging as a performer and person, but, by the special’s end, his place in—and appreciation for—the history of comedy. It is, truly, among Sandler’s finest, most moving works to date.

Season 1 Review:
This is a fun show to watch, and all of the roughness Safdie throws at Sandler only just helps to show that what makes a comedy special special isn’t the big stage or production value, but the intimacy between the performer and their audience. And Sandler has that in spades.

Season 1 Review:
At every moment, the whole thing feels like it could come apart, and the combination of stress, sincerity, and inanity is what makes Love You so delightful. It’s like a train full of clowns and fake plastic poop, perpetually flirting with derailment, that ultimately pulls into a destination of love and sentimentality.

Season 1 Review:
This special is a grungier, less ingratiating affair than the previous one. Not everything hits hard, in part because this is a quirkier effort that will delight the hard-core Sandler fans, those who stuck with him before the critics came around. Safdie strips down the production of his arena shows — the video use is sparing but effective — and leans into the weird, indulgent Sandler.

Season 1 Review:
It mixes more odd penis and sex jokes than you would expect with a bit of melancholy and softness, plus some unreality pretending to be real. Altogether, it's a little jarring, sometimes off-putting but also kind of sweet. It's complicated and contradictory, much like Sandler himself.
