I know there's going to be an almost unending run of one-star reviews here, just because it's fun to trash Amy Schumer, but the first half of this is actually an improvement over her last special.
Schumer clearly has *some* comedic skills: whether, like so many of her past jokes, they've all been stolen from other people, I don't know (there ARE a bunch of postures and facial expressions in this one she seems to have lifted wholesale from Louis CK).
I think the problem is they are not in service to anything: she herself has nothing of any real interest, novelty or depth to say. The subject matter never once leaves herself, and generally just tends to return to the familiarly lazy remarks on her own slobbishness, guaranteed to arouse whooping "you go girl"s from her bovine crowd. There's not very many jokes, as such, and the ones there are aren't very funny.
The second half is where it really nosedives and she gets into her cringey NPC feminist talking points. Without her awful, awful, awful politics shoehorned in, this would have been a solid 4: poor but not irredeemable. But with them, she ruins any goodwill or willingness to hear her out, and so the whole special itself.
TLDR: I guarantee you will not laugh once.

What's with the reviewers who say "As a woman...."? Like that should matter and implying just because you're a women, you should love it? Yes, I'm a woman, but even if I weren't, I can't imagine how anyone would think this is deserving of another Netflix special. Can she write anyone other than "vag jokes"? If they were actually funny, then cool. But, they're not. I can't think of any male comedian who does a full set of practically nothing but NOT FUNNY d*ck jokes. If she's trying to brand herself as "nasty," fine. But, don't subject paying subscribers to this. There are so many other funny, female, comedians that Netflix could be investing in.
Look, I like Amy. I mean, before going into this Netflix special I had only seen her movies and her show, both had their good parts and their bad parts. This special was funny, heartfelt and actually kind of sweet. Basically everything I'm looking for. She made me laugh out loud, because at some parts I related and I felt seen!
I hardly ever leave a review but when I looked at this IMDb page I saw that she had received 2,4 stars and that just felt wrong. Because it was better than that. And for people to hate and to be negative just because that seems like the thing you should be proves that you didn't learn anything from the special.
Don't be negative, or else the shame wizard from Big Mouth will knock on your door.

I'm confused as to how an entire audience managed to gather to watch this, and on top of that how a fair amount of them actually laughed repeatedly, lmao
If you love Amy, you will for sure enjoy this special. Her "Leather special" was not that funny but in this one , she is hilarious!
She cracked me up several times. Just sit back,relax and enjoy it. It is just comedy. Lighten up! For some reason, some people (mostly men ) like to hate her, I'm guessing that's where all the 1star ratings come from.
