Ronny Chieng’s second Netflix special is not quite as good as the first one he did some years ago. I think there are some funny jokes and his energy is always entertaining to watch. For completely biased reasons, I didn’t really enjoy his rant about people reviewing forms of entertainment. This likely won’t affect most people, but I feel like there is some validity in having an opinion about things like stand up, especially if it is to be taken seriously as an art form. Aside from that, the special is fun and there are good points raised, but only for other topics, he brings up. It’s unrelated to the quality of the material, but I also just really liked the aesthetic of this venue as well as the way it’s directed looks very nice, and that made it a tad bit more likable. Overall, I think it was just okay, and I guess he should be happy since I am giving this more than two stars.
3/5 STARS
