I get it. We are in a progressive and (mostly) tolerant society. And I am happy that people are starting to feel more empowered and confident in who and what they choose to be.
However, that doesn't mean we should give Netflix a pass for pushing the most braindead, thoughtless, uninsightful and just downright awful "comedy" as a way to score themselves some of those precious, sweet, social brownie points.
This, much like everything else Hannah touches, is a putrid dumpster fire that didn't make me laugh, or even cause a slight smirk throughout the entire thing.
It's painful to watch when you know that the only thing these "comedians" have to offer is uninteresting and pretty obvious points of view surrounding LGBT and the society they exist in. I think the fact that these people make their sexual identity their ENTIRE personality should not qualify them for a comedy show. It's the most boring, self indulgent thing I've ever seen. And I've seen A LOT of bad comedy.
In essence, it's a vapid and shallow special where comedian after comedian just wants to pat themselves on the back for being so progressive and "leading the way".
Pandering at it's finest, and of course Netflix are the ones to push it.
Please don't take this as an assult on the LGBT community. It's not bigoted for me to tell you that these people are terrible at comedy and have no place being on our screens.

More boring box-ticking "comedy"
I enjoyed it
I enjoyed it, laughed out loud and really enjoyed seeing Hannah relaxed and in her/ his/ their element. She sounded like she might have been sick and getting worse through the evening but she hung in like a trooper. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea. I'm an ally and some of the jokes went over my head but it was really fun. It think it's great to showcase all kinds of talent, pribsbly better than during down ones you don't agree with, especially in comedy which purposefully pushes boundaries. I think Dave Chappelle is interesting and insightful, even if I don't always agree with him. And I'd rather the lgbtq+ community also have a platform too.
