Simon Amstell: Set Free

I am a little saddened and yet not surprised to see lower reviews than I believe this deserves. He addresses topics that are likely taboo to some, which I assume is the motivation for the low ratings.

I absolutely adored it. He has such a sweet and calming presence, and lovely delivery. He gets right to the meat of the matter regarding consciousness and offers solid and compassionate interpretations of the roots of homophobia. Then he brings in the subject of mind altering substances, which was a major delight for me to see in the midst of our current psychedelic renaissance.

I am so inspired and delighted that this is a prominent offering on Netflix.

Didn't know I was a Simon Amstell fan till watching this. He seems to see the world much like I do. Not the snarky host of Never Mind the Buzzcocks I'd been used to in the past. As irreverent as usual but with a deeper self awareness as he opens up about his life.

Just what i needed. Did not know of Simon before this and.... i love him ! So happy i came upon this on netflix !

Funny fistfuls of deeply personal swings and roundabouts! The personal doesn't get preachy, it's just an very honest expression of reaching happiness that'll make you laugh!

It's more wholesome than shocking, more therapy than comedy and really more like listening to that one friend we all have that has had two beers too many and is sharing more than you like him to. It wasn't bad, just a tad tame.
