If you didn't know Esther before, you'll see her comedy, and a look in to who she is while having some laughs. If you already know Esther, you'll laugh you ass off and want to be adopted in to her family.
I was super happy to see her first comedy special and it far exceeded my expectations. It was unlike any "comedy special" I've seen and interpreted so many... things.

I wish I was alone together with Esther.
mostly mildly fun
Esther Povitsky is a comedian. This is a special consisting of vignettes of her different stand-ups intercut with her real-life parents in everyday life. A 3-minute sequence near the end has the big actor cast doing a song.
She's cute. She's amiable. Her set is mostly about sex and that has some good shock value. She's 30, but she still looks like a kid. It's mildly funny. One section didn't hit as well. The Lauren Sanchez joke needs to be snappier. It's not that funny to begin with. It needs to go quicker. This is a mildly fun special for forty minutes. There are about ten minutes that didn't quite work. I don't care about the song. Her parents are much funnier.
Super funny, exactly what I expected
Really well done special, and a really unique look into Esther herself.
