    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.

    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.

    Wonderfully timeless humor. Irreverent and subversive. A seemless continuation of his Norm MacDonald Live video podcast. If you're a fan ofWonderfully timeless humor. Irreverent and subversive. A seemless continuation of his Norm MacDonald Live video podcast. If you're a fan of old comedy from the era when 'funny' was the priority, this is for you. If you're looking for postmodern, post-humor "comedy", you'll probably find yourself disappointed.… Full Review »

    This show is so simple yet so effortlessly funny. It's basically like looking in on an interesting and effortlessly hilarious conversationThis show is so simple yet so effortlessly funny. It's basically like looking in on an interesting and effortlessly hilarious conversation between a top-class comedian (and his perfectly unfunny sidekick) and various interesting guests. Talk shows are normally boring, scripted and annoying. This is none of that. Highly recommended if you want something easy to watch that doesn't take much focus and will make you laugh like crazy.… Full Review »
