I’ve watched four episodes, and every one of them is hugely entertaining and frequently surprising. Read full review

“Love” seems like a strong word, but there’s a lot to enjoy here. Norm Macdonald Has a Show is a very meticulous mess, built with the opposite of frills. Read full review

For fans of Macdonald’s comedy, this will feel right in his wheelhouse. But it’s hard to get away from the sense that Macdonald doesn’t particularly care, and that he is its only intended audience. Read full review

Fonda’s guest appearance is head-and-shoulders the best of the four I’ve seen. In fact, Episode 1, with David Spade featured, is so excruciatingly bad that you’re better off skipping it entirely. ... If you’re a Norm Macdonald fanatic, and there likely aren’t very many of those, it’s best to watch this show while you still can. Read full review

It’s incredibly frustrating to watch a comic once defined by his sharp commentary wander so aimlessly through this show just because he can. Even if the question of how Macdonald got this show is easily answered, the question of why anyone outside he and his diehards fans should bother with it never is. Read full review

Norm Macdonald Has a Show, his new Netflix series, is pretty terrible. It's labor-intensive to get through. In the moments when it's disastrously bad, you wonder if that's the joke; given that Macdonald is notoriously adherent to anti-jokes and anti-stories as a conceit, it's at least a possibility. But no. ... Norm Macdonald Has a Show is a painful thing to watch. Read full review

There's a reason the ultimate insult was dubbing Vladimir, "Critic!" The critics could not be more wrong. If you're not a fan of Norm, you're not a fan of comedy. Watch, nay, BINGE his new show.

Hands down best comedy show on netflix. Spoiler, if you are easily offended then you will be. This is a true comedy opposed to political clapmedy on the other "witty" netflix comedy shows. This is a hit, and a shame the season is so short.

The Norm MacDonald Has A Show Show is the best talk show on Netflix, If you like Norm you'll like this show, if you don't like Norm you'll still like this show, can this show be better than it is? You can't top perfection.

Oh screw these ridiculous reviews. Show's so much fun. When you're funny, engage with people well, you don't need some tight format.

While praising "post-funny" TED-talks as the new "comedy" and snubbing their elitist noses at anything that isn't ideologically harmonious with their own, the basis upon which their critiques are founded become less and less objective. This is yet another example. Norm states what he truly thinks in an interview; it isn't what Norm's supposed to think; therefore, Norm's new show is objectively bad. Most people who enjoy getting true insight into their favourite celebrities' personalities over vacuous performative presentations will disagree with them. Those who like laughter with their comedy will also beg to differ.

As the champagne snobbery set slides further into irrelevance, I'll be enjoying Norm for as long as it lasts...while also casting myself as direct competition for Adam Egret, offering my services for TEN DOLLARS A MAN. What's Egret thinking, 15 dollars a man?! That guy's a real jerk.… Expand
