    Extremely smart satire - many times showcasing the hypocrisy across the political and media landscapes - especially the conspiratory right-wing media. At times, you have to pay attention to the dialogue, know the subject to really understand how extreme some of the news media is towards their political opposite. Some of the "street journalists" need more time to find their niche - butExtremely smart satire - many times showcasing the hypocrisy across the political and media landscapes - especially the conspiratory right-wing media.

    The Opposition could use a little more of that sense of extreme paranoia. For now, it’s an adequate, if watered-down, Fox News parody--not irrelevant, but a little less vital than the times call for.

    The show is not without growing pains. The Opposition leans on a silly conspiracy corkboard without totally knowing what to do with it, and it’s hard to tell who the titular “opposition” is supposed to refer to--the audience? But there’s already evidence of strong material.

    During his first episode Monday night, his commitment to the new "Jordan Klepper" was confident and agile. It helped that the half-hour was full of terrifically stinging one-liners. ... Klepper spent the first two segments of his initial installment overly explaining the concept of the pro-Trump series, leaving little time to preview how the show will tackle topical themes going forward. ... Klepper also fails to wring much out of the interview segment.
