    Although it seems many critics view the show positively, realize that these are adults (tuned into Mulaney's flavor of humor) rating the show. I suspect reviews by kids, who are the target audience, would reflect much differently. They would not understand many of the jokes and flavor of humor. My kids saw the episode and were largely bored and confused.

My kids saw the episode and were largely bored and confused. John stuck his neck out there to try something new and different, which is appreciated. However, he missed the mark if he is trying to entertain kids rather than garner a tip of the hat from society's media critics.… Expand

    Mulaney's standup is funny. But this was not. This special is full of random offbeat skits, poor musical acts and lame children's show spoofs. I will watch anything but I struggled to finish this. Netflix is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

    Huge Mulaney fan but completely missed the joke here. Not one laugh. Love the guy but his whole "I don't want children" thing is done to death. That and his dog. EVERY. SINGLE. SHOW./INTERVIEW/ETC. ETC.

    While the Sack Lunch is an unconventional package, its ingredients are pure Mulaney. ... The overriding sentiment is one of staggering honesty.

    [An] odd and charming mixture of what Mulaney does best.

    There’s so much care and craft in Sack Lunch Bunch. All the musical numbers work, and occasionally they’re breathtakingly good.
