Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

brentjohnson-43135 I've been watching the show since the beginning, and it continued to do a good job at finding stories that are woefully under-reported (if covered at all) and yet still socially relevant. Whether or not you agree with the story of the week or the show's take on it, it is important to get information out there and bring these issues into the spotlight. If you have trouble taking the assessment provided by the show you can always follow it up with some more research (hopefully from reliable sources). The only issue that I have with the show (particularly this season) is when John Oliver goes off on one of his feigned outrage bits. It is not that I dislike this type of bit particularly, but most of them are simply not funny and the audience reaction seems to confirm this. Yet, he doubles down and sometimes triples down on the same punchline that bombed the first time. I do find him to have a good wit and be funny in unscripted settings, but I think that his insistence that what he says is hilarious and we just don't get the joke discouraging. I hope that the show continues and improves, as humor in politics is sorely needed.

After season 3, this show went down hill for me. Majority of season 4 (2017) was focused on Donald Trump and his Presidency. And on the first episode of season 5 (2018), the main topic yet again is Trump and his Presidency. Nothing interesting is being presented. The show has stagnated.

kingjosh500 I almost never write reviews. However, I feel compelled to inform people who haven't seen the show to know what they have missed.He covers every topic you never think to imagine and he does it with such wit and grace that you wish he was American so he could run for president. Honestly, I've never been able to disagree with anything or any view that he has shared. He is the most honest person on television and the country would be a better place if everyone watched his show.Even if you don't share his political views, his topics cover moral dilemmas facing our country today. If you are super conservative socially, you may not like him. However, if that is the case, you should at least hear what he has to say before disagreeing. If this show is ever canceled I will take a s**t on Richard Plepler's car every day.

mikeinthesis Parading as a likable "funny" news commentator, John Oliver is a force for the destruction of truth. His pattern is simple: first, he presents an idea which is in opposition to the ideas Time Warner wants his viewers to hold. Then, he makes a derisive quip mocking it— and anyone who holds it. Lastly his audience erupts into laughter, affirming to the viewer that it truly is stupid for anyone to hold that idea.Meanwhile... the idea hasn't actually been logically or rationally disproven at all. Absolutely disgusting.Here's an example:John Oliver did a segment on scientists who "believe" in climate change and those who don't. The catch? The one who didn't was actually just an actor... not a real scientist. And then Oliver brought out a bunch of other actor scientists who did "believe" in climate change. Making it seem so "obvious" that anyone who holds any skepticism about the topic at all is an idiot or doubting what is clearly such an overflow of credibility.Say and believe what you want about climate change. My point has nothing to do with the subject— and everything to do with how Oliver presents his own "facts". In my world, proving an idea wrong takes rational and intelligent dialect from both sides. Oliver simply presents one argument then makes it seem like anyone who holds the opposing idea is clearly an idiot— without presenting a single argument backed up by fact. Hope to see him, and all of his ilk, scrubbed from television, as he does nothing but stoke ignorance and hate in a world that is already filled to the brim with it.
