There's no real way to organize this so I'm just gonna spitball a few things
Norm in my opinion was always at his best when he was in a room with people who hate his guts. Many of these jokes were edgy enough to get him in trouble but not so edgy that it's hateful. I wish she had the time to perform the set live because it would be incredible with half of the audience booing him.
Norm has always been the biggest clown in the room, but there's a brief moment where you see how serious he took his craft. About halfway through the special, one of his dogs starts barking for a moment. The character he creates would make you think that he would get distracted or make a mention about it, but for a brief moment he broke character. He was completely unfazed. For a few seconds we got to see that everything he's ever done on stage has been on purpose.
I laughed a lot. It also made me sad. There are some moments he talked about things like mortality where you realize he understands his time is limited.
Like I said I don't really have a format for this. I just know that I really enjoyed this and I will be watching it again.

A very Norm special. A beautiful goodbye.
GREAT set, emotional yes, but GREAT set
As a big fan of Normie, I was eagerly waiting for the drop of this set. Norm had hoped to get back to stand up once Corona was done, but unfortunately, that didn't happen. Norm shot this special at home in his mind practice for a set in front of an audience.
The material is classic Norm; you go from laughing non stop to feeling emotional and crying. We as the audience can tell he was struggling in pain, he talks in detail more about death and what will or could happen.
The show has a thirty minute I want to say " post show, " but Netflix isn't calling it that, more of a analysis of Norm's life; Sandler, Spade, Molly Shannon , Letterman and Dave Chappelle share moments about Norm.
This is definitely a special you need to watch more than once as there are small things you will miss between viewings.
Love ya Normie, Rest in Peace.
A little rough but Normheads will love it!
Well the old chunk of coal is back it again one last time. This special was certainly special for the fans and especially Norm as its a one-take stand-up special without an audience. The lack of an audience does make the rhythm unique as you don't hear any cheering or laughing to interrupt the flow. The material is a little rough in some spots but any fan of Norm can guess how the jokes could've turned out had Norm spent more time on it. But the jokes hold-up and the remembrance by some his friends at the end of movie make it so much more endearing as you can see how much he touched people.
All in all, I would recommend this special for any fan of Norm as well as anyone who could use a mood lifter as the final discussion from Norm's friends make the tribute all the more delightful.
