Historical Roasts

To the people who say this show is disrespectful: It's not. It's supposed to be a satire meant to make people laugh, especially since nowadays, politics have become too heated a subject to talk about peacefully. But then again, we live in an age where anyone can be easily offended by just one little joke to the point of sparking a controversy.

So anyway, this is a good show. This only gets seven stars from me because the jokes are hit or miss. Some joke I liked, others fell flat. But I was not offended by them because I understand this is meant to be a satire of the historical figures involved and a show that is supposed to poke fun at events both historical and current, which is supposed to be the aim of the comedy series. If you are offended by such portrayals, all I have to say is do not watch.

The only reason I watched this show is out of curiosity after reading all the bad reviews.I found that it has good acting and some very funny moments.To me it felt more like a historical parody then a historical roast.As long as you don't take it seriously it's watchable and not a complete waste of time as opposed to many other Netflix originals.I would recommend watching while multitasking since it's not the kind of show that you have to stay focused.

I get that some people won't dig it. Much of the jokes are written in an old school vaudeville style and it won't land for most modern audiences. There's nothing wrong with that. Not everything is for everybody.

But I love this, my wife loves it and my kids do, too.

Everything from historical rumors and less publicized facts are brought out and laid out in a way that sticks. Kudos to the staff on making this and Netflix for having the guts to distribute. I hope they make more.

Lots of bad reviews on this one. I have to 100% disagree with all the 1s and 2s. This was a wonderful idea and it was executed pretty well. I found the shots of audience members being unamused as part of the humor - you know cause humor is different for everyone and all that.... but yes there are episodes that are better than others.

First this is not real roast, its people playing historical people simulating what a roast with those people would look like so you lose that awkwardness of people getting sick burns live to their face. Having said that, it has some smart and funny burns, you might learn a few new things but this is definitely a relax and enjoy show, dont expect a lot from it, it has some dumb moments but also some edgy and funny ones.
