I'm not sure Why Netflix put this out with this crowd. This was the most dead, uptight crowd for a Comedy special I have ever seen in my life. They could have done this in a morgue and at least one of the bodies would have farted here and there because that would be more reaction from the crowd than this theater had. The comedians were all pretty much really good, but you could tell the crowd was bringing them down and killing the vibe of the whole thing. Amy was trying to butter them up as much as possible. But when you have a crowd like this, it kills a show. It felt like these people thought they were going to a PTA meeting and ended up at a comedy show with no clue what to do with themselves. I mean seriously. Netflix couldn't even just pump in some fake laughter to the theater to sort of get the crowd going better? That's a thing they can do you know? I felt bad. It felt like watching comedians bomb, not because of their material which was good, but because the crowd was like a morgue. Seriously! Film multiple takes, multiple crowds. Get the best ones. Don't just put out a show with a dead crowd. They might as well have had a room full of caskets instead of people in chairs. This is why people don't like Netflix so much anymore. It's not password sharing, it's lack of decently produced and polished material that is the problem. You don't put out a live comedy special with a crowd who thinks they're at the library. You just don't. You do it over and over until you get it right and you use production means to make it better. It just felt so awkward and the comedians felt just as akward, you could tell. Bad call Netflix. Bad call. I feel bad for the Comedians who don't get a good exposure now because of the tension and just overall horribleness of that crowd.
