Borat's American Lockdown

Everything Cohen does anymore is political unfortunately. First Not at film was funny. Now all these Borat shows are aimed at discrediting conservative views in a way that takes the craziest of the right wing and makes it look as if its the norm. Both sides do this and its why no progress will ever be made to bring the country together. Wasted talent imo on Cohen's part. He about got the crap kicked out if him at the Trump rally for this attitude. The other reviewer is correct. Watch til after the credits of the first episode.

Cohen, I grew up watching you as a young lad, staying up late to watch Ali G on channel 4, loved everything you have previously done, poking fun at the rich, famous and privileged, getting them to make fools of themselves. It appealed to everyone's mischievous side and the humour was quick and witty but this!? Punching down on the most down-trodden and oppressed, laughing at the legitimate concerns of ordinary marginalised people and offering no real evidence to disprove any of their beliefs. This program is a complete embarrassment to your previous work, wheeling out old beloved characters to try and galvanise support for a bunch of corrupt politicians and elites... What on earth have you become!?

Mind you the two men he is living with are shooting off a irrational amount of inconclusive rants. But, I feel that Sacha Baron Cohen has gone just as far as these guys, only in the opposing direction by just mocking them.

It used to be really funny when he would mock politicians and people in power on the Ali G show and such. Now, he is clearly targeting a specific archetype of people. We get it. They are not his type or Hollywood, or the media.

I think it would have been funnier if he had poked fun at the political powers on both sides. I find it amateur that he is going after 2 men that were kind enough to invite him into their house during a pandemic.

I used to love his Cohen's content. He used to just be unbiased. No sides taken. Just poking fun at the ridiculousness of politics. Now, he just mocking one side of the spectrum. Which now, is definitely needed on both sides.

Sure, these guys are on what is known as the "far-right". But, they were polite and kind to him entire visit and to take an immigrant in to their home as a guest and treated him with respect and dignity.

I really lose respect for these guys that lose their ways and start disrespecting the little people and mock them. Just because their views dont align with your own. Yes, they are a little "off" with some of their conspiracies. But, at the end of the day...even people with opposing views put you where you are.

It's unfortunate. I've always enjoyed Sasha's work. This series had it moments between the leftist beliefs and now, presently, false facts. Disappointing. He could have had so much good material but instead it was politicized. Real shame.

This was hilarious. If you like Borat then you know what to expect. People are making it seem like its absolute trash, it really isn't, it's got a few good laughs.
