Phil Wang's quirky comedy is definitely fun to watch when on panel shows as it makes him stand out, but this special was just generic (race, Covid-19, veganism). Bite size versions of Wang's comedy is easier to watch as you realise he is the gimmick (usually playing to the Asian and millennial stereotypes or wearing his silly yellow suit in TaskMaster). This was just a load of mismatch jokes woven together. His set doesn't feel polished enough for a Netflix special, maybe this is due to lockdown and not being able to perform that much, who knows. It just doesn't click as it becomes more monotonous throughout, waiting for a reason to not turn it off. His jokes definitely felt cheap as you don't feel fulfilled/entertained afterwards. Just questioning what you're watching... If you've seen him on panel shows or heard him a podcast, decide for yourself but if you're going into this not knowing much about Phil Wang I would recommend staying away as this is a tough watch.

He had some good material. It was rarely LOL material, but it was fun to watch and not overtly political, even though it was filmed during government shutdowns and tyranny.

I'm surprised reading so many extremely negative reviews for this stand-up comedy from Phil Wang. I thought it was entertaining from beginning till the end. Maybe he was a bit repetitive at one point, like some other reviewers wrote, but to me it was all part of the show. He has a good vocabulary, a little bit of sarcastic humor (that's probably the part some people don't get) and he's not afraid of self-deprication. This show doesn't deserve so many negative reviews, at least not that low of ratings.
