Bad Thoughts

If you can get past the extreme vulgarity, you will encounter some laugh out loud moments. This show is definitely is not for everyone. If you have sensitive sensibilities, please do not attempt to watch. There is a ton of sexual content, and what some would consider inappropriate content. Everything and everyone is made fun of in these episodes, children, women, old people, disabled people minorities, you name it. This show is not for children or minors. It's not even for some adults. For me, it was a good distraction from what I normally watch, but I doubt I would watch anything along these lines again.

It's what we would call in the UK a Marmite show..you're either going to love it or hate it..in either case NEVER read the ingredients label..!

A show for those with a short sketch attention span, that would invariably, if allowed to continue for say another dozen episodes, lose its shock value and numb the observer with the brutality, as the next instalment tries to out-shock the previous one...there's only so far that road can take you before creativity needs to step in..à la Black Mirror.

Do wonder if Tom Segura isn't a secret Monty Python fan as they did some like this 40+ years ago in a different era, but kept evolving which gave them longevity..

This show is the epitome of unfiltered and brash comedy in the best ways. I loved it.

I'm very surprised to see so many negative reviews. I think those are partially by Tom Segura haters, which I'm still trying to fully understand, but it seems like quite a few of the online trolls have something out for the guy.

Either way, the series is doing something different and unique. Each episode delivers a rapid-fire mix of unsettling and shockingly hilarious scenarios, which I find impressive and very fun. It's definitely NOT for the easily offended, but for those who enjoy comedy that pushes limits and dives into the bizarre, Bad Thoughts is worth a watch.

Beyond the writing and jokes, the series is also surprisingly cinematic. Each sketch is shot with polish and I thought the team behind the camera did an extraordinary job. It elevates the chaos, giving even the most absurd moments a strangely beautiful, engaging edge.

If you've ever watched Tom's comedy or listen to him on a podcast, you'll know he harbors some dark thoughts.

And each one of these short stories, is a look inside his demented mind. As Bill Burr once said of Tom "the serial killer tone and complete lack of emotion, if his thoughts were a movie definitely NC17"

This series is more like R-rated, but this is exactly what I would have expected from Tom but wasn't sure even Netflix would OK with it.

You'll either love it or hate it, but what it will do for sure is make you question the choices you've made in your life that got you here. They could be bad they could be good, it all depends on how sick your sense of humor is.

I'm not surprised the mixed critique this show is getting. However, I am surprised at how little people are talking about the way it was filmed. Talk about bold! I'm not sure if Netflix just threw money at this, but every sketch looked like a different feature length movie. I give a lot of credit to the DP and crew behind the scenes that pulled this off. Definitely not an easy task to do. 10/10

As for the comedy, it's definitely more on the raunchy side. It's bluer than blue and filled with sex and taboo subjects. So if you're not into that sort of thing, I'd say don't watch. But if you are, then this show is for you.
