This show has quite an interesting concept and it is entertaining. However, the way the topics are addressed is disrespectful and lackluster. The hosts are rude and make really inappropriate comments all the time. I found this show misogynistic and gender aggressive, sadly, this is a portray of the way Japanese society views certain themes in an old fashion manner.

Additionally, I can't believe how this show is on Netflix and there are no consequences on the hosts or how they treated the participants. Especially, Atsushi Tamura was painful to watch, he was cruel to the participants and disrespectful to Mari Yagushi reveling aspects of her personal life. The line between trying to be funny and be plain rude never felt so thin.

The male host would insult all the female contestants until they cried, fantasising about sexual abuse and outright harassing them. It was even more disgusting to hear victims of abuse be told that it was their fault (if they were women). I hope he meets legal repercussions for his behaviour.

The show is tagged as LGBT on Netflix despite the hosts constantly ripping down a contestant for being trans and misgendering her. The program is a huge bummer as all the men on the show seem to do whatever they want at womens' expense. I completely understand why female sex workers refused to go through with participating on the program having seen how belittled and bullied the female contestants were for much less taboo secrets.

The show is hilarious and well made.

Anyone who lived in Japan in the past must've watched the same genre of show being played in the middle of the night.

It's just different from what y'all are used to watch on Netflix. Just get over it.

Atsushi for example was always like that while playing manzaikonbi as London Boots comedian. Japanese people find hilarious when they make harsh comments. In Japanese culture, if you commit or did a bad thing in the past, you deserve to be mocked. You don't want people to make joke of you, don't get out of the line. Period.

That's one of japanese culture.

I first watched this when it was released and was really immersed in the colourful characters they brought in!

The main host makes the show and in the one behind it all

Now in 2022 I've watched it again, enjoying it more than the first time round. I am hoping they release another season

Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu.

The host is an absolute misogynistic nightmare. How in earth did this get made?

Good grief, I persevered to episode three but I just can't stand it...
