Cristela Alonzo: Classe Média

After seeing a great deal of the bunch of comics endored by Bill Burr bomb terribly on stage, I was kind of losing trust with NetFlix' taste.

Cristela Alonzo saved the day thanks to her energy, mostly-clean humor which requires more intelligence, and her smooth way of commandeering the audience.

Her previous special (seen also on NetFlix) was also highly notable. But this one is even better because the way summons the jokes has progressed notably, also thanks to the financial progress in her life, which she generously uses as brand-new source of humor.

The visit to the gyneacologist, the way she opened the gif pack from NetFlix while in dialogue with the cops... All are genuinely priceless and one needs to be Cristela Alonzo to actuall experience these situations. It is very smart of her to carry on stage her "changing" self as the backbone of the show.

The only thing that bothered me was how she resorted to certain classical praisal of speaking "politically correct" - we no longer need endorsement of PC culture on stage, even if we may need PC culture to capture a few more fronts. Addressing people's amazement at "not beling allowed to use certain words" by saying "it was never okay, you are just learning it wasn't!" just does not line up with the authenticity and the spirit of her humor - especially not after she makes use of "shades of white" as she tells her story of immersing in white-dominant circles. It is funny as hell to hear her make point of how "white" some people are, to the extent that she thinks she is encountering a ghost delivering a message from her dead grandma. Given THIS is okay and welcome, so should most of the stuff PC culture has selectively been shunning.

Cristela is a highly intelligent woman and I believe she will climb further the ladders of stardom. She deserves it.

This program popped up on Netflix, and I had nothing to lose except time, so I watched it. And was totally entertained and laughing for an hour. How refreshing!

She is one of my new favorites. I like it when people make fun of themselves and their situations - without making everyone feel bad, but laugh at the humor of our lives. She is adept at crafting things I've done a thousand times and making them interesting (i.e. The internet). And don't leave out a trip to the doctor's! We've all been there - you have to admit it!

I look forward to seeing more of her! One reviewer said she uses old material, and I know how disappointing that can be. Am hoping she takes his words to heart and discovers some new stuff to toss at us.

Bet she will - she is obviously one smart performer! And that's another reason I rated this 9 stars - it's whip smart.

Odd show, it starts off messy and all over the place, most part in the middle is cohesive and fun, but by the end it starts deviating from the cohesion and gets chaotic again and it just ends?

She feels like a crazy fun aunt, some of the stuff she says are funny, others feel like "things that happen to you when you get 'old'". I had some good laughs, other things I related to what she said, but they weren't necessarily funny.

It is alright, all things considered.

Finally a female comedian that isn't talking about vulgar stuff the whole time... gets old.. most these days talk about the same things over and over again and they think the more vulgar they get the more popular they'll get.

She is good. Has original content & stands out.

Bad enough she's introduced by one of the Castro's but she immediately jumps into exposing her ignorance and stupidity with Covid "jokes". She's a moron and not remotely funny. I liked her ABC show back in the day so I gave her a chance. Don't waste your time.
