Iliza: Unveiled

I laughed out loud and I'm a sad, bitter person. She is extremely smart, mean and fantastically aware of the absurdity of the human experience.

I watch a lot of Netflix specials and I don't always understand why or how somd names made it to the top. With Iliza it's very easy: She's got it all. She is an observer, she is smart, she nails physical comedy, she works with her voice... She just delivers the full package. Plus, her comments on society may sting a little (as they should), but they're never gross, crass or truly hurtful.

So far I've liked all her specials. Keep em coming.

I've loved Iliza's previous specials, but this one just didn't stand up to the bar I had set for it. I'm all for political jokes, feminist jokes, social commentary, etc (even if I personal disagree with the point being made) when done well but a lot of the material for this set fell flat. Like, some of it was just observances without an actual joke. Idk, it wasn't terrible but not as good as I was expecting.

Iliza is my kind of woman, in so many ways.

If you don't like her other specials, you probably won't be swayed by this. But I love everything she does.

And sometimes funny and/or ironic BUTTTT delivered with W A A A A Y too much energy. Trying too too hard. At five minutes in I felt exhaustion and annoyance.

Too bad 'cause, as I said, she makes some good points. I just can't stand to watch her.
