Great Line Up, But Out of Balance
All of the comedians in the lineup are great talents and I'm eager to experience their stories.
But personally, I'm disappointed that there is not a more diverse representation of America's ocean of great comedians. Maybe future seasons will balance things out. But if it ends up being a single season show, and the first season is limited to the ten episodes currently listed, an important opportunity to experience the challenges, hardships, and successes of comedians from wider representation of America's rich diversity will have been lost.
There are ten comedians presented...among them: 8 White people 7 Men 3 Women 1 Black 1 Latin 0 Asian 0 Native Americans 0 Anyone else
In defense of the makers of this series, in the real world the majority of standup comedians are white males. So in that sense the lineup is as real as it can possibly be.
Having lodged my complaints, I still want to thank the makers of this series for their hard work and the opportunity for us as an audience to learn more about some of America's greatest laugh makers. And I'd like to express my sincere hope for the success of this series so that future seasons will provide an opportunity for the makers to present many more comedians from all walks of life.
