Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King (2017)

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Good idea lost in the noise

Don't listen to the negative reviews

A Brilliant Conflict

The guy works hard. He has an act close to Chris Rock. Even better polished, but that should go without saying because there is one generation of comics between them. The stories are well linked. And they are sensible. But funny? Sick. To laugh at his private dramas seems so cruel. Yet maybe the audience is right: they were sold a comic show, so why not laugh?Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

Although I did watch the whole thing, I've got to say that he lets his personal experiences with the 'bad stereotype' white people govern the direction of his comedy. That got old about halfway through. It just wasn't STAND-UP... it was like a narrative you'd hear on NPR radio, which granted isn't BAD, but it wasn't what I expected (or wanted).

I'd have to seriously question the professional judgment of the Netflix team that saw this past the ideas stage! I'm assuming that they are all his friends or they divvied up her paycheck!My question is: How is this person a household name? Thankfully, nobody I know or am connected with openly admits to liking his unique talent for attention seeking!This is an epic fail!

Let me start off by saying, I'm a brown Immigrant kid in US. And, I got to say we don't have many Indian/Brown Comedians up here. So, when I heard Hasan has a new special coming up, I was quite excited. He is not the Best correspondent in Daily show, but he gets the job done quite well. His pieces are usually entertaining, not saying he is bad, but he is quite adequate compared to others. He definitely is in my top 5 correspondents after Oliver, Colbert, Carrell and Sam. It's not that he is not funny, but not upto his peers level, that is it. OK, enough of the rambling about Daily show. But, this special is purely entertaining only if you can relate. And, you can relate only if you are a Brown Immigrant kid. As I am the picture boy of that club, I was extremely satisfied with this special. It's not all belly laughs, but quite entertaining. All I got to say is, if you are a Brown kid, check it out and you may go back to your younger days with this guy. If you are not a Brown kid, you may see his points, but don't get the inner feel of that point. So, you may like or not like it. No guarantees. Watch for yourself and find out if this is upto your standard or not. But, for me, I liked it and will watch again soon. Good job, man.
