Taylor Tomlinson: Look at You

I'm so happy for Taylor! She so deserves a Netflix special. It's been real great watching her grow and understand herself. Her comedy has evolved admirably and as an individual has grown wonderfully from her guest appearance on Your Moms House to Good For You.

I don't want to compare them because they're two completely different comics, even though they both mention considering themselves as having dark humor I wouldn't say Taylor Tomlinson does it(she just makes fun of what she's been through), but it reminds me of Daniel sloth in the way they both approach their shows. They talk about serious issues that a worthy to be addressed and make it more than just jokes because a lot of meaningful things were said in this special. And I don't agree with people saying it's female comedy because anyone can be funny and even though yes, she does divert to female oriented content for a huge chunk of the show I still thought she was funny. I think I liked this show better than her first, when I watched her Quarter-life crisis special, I didn't particularly find it funny in it's entirety but she's very engaging and talented and her material was relatable. So I thought this special is funnier in my opinion while still keeping those qualities(other people have said quarter life crisis was better though so matter of opinion I guess). Her writing is also great, because her jokes don't depend much on her delivery or riding the wave of an earlier joke, they're all individually funny. I think what's the best part about it is is the jokes are consistent and they land which keeps you interested throughout and I hope she gains more recognition as her career progresses.

I give this a 8 simply because large parts of this show is amazing. All the psychology stuff, all the damaged I am taking drugs stuff is fantastic. It is not twisting your stomach dying from laughter funny, but it is so greatly done and so insightful and lovely that you can show this in therapy sessions.

The less funny and not so great is all the standards from female comedians. Sex jokes, phallus jokes, boyfriends and relationships. Which I think is such a shame. Taylor is one of the most insightful, most intelligent and funny comedians in existence today and 80% of this proves that. So when she start talking about porn for women, masturbation and similar I lose a bit of interest. She is still funny, don't get me wrong, she is still better than 9/10 female comedians even when she goes mainstream standard, but when she is talking about therapy, dead relatives and dealing with life she is simply the best and I wish there was more of that.

This is not the best comedy ever. I even think her last special was funnier, although that contained more of the standard stuff. But this is still, at least to 80%, amazing stuff that should be seen and listen to.

I am absolutely convinced that 10-15 years from now Taylor will be hailed as the one of the greatest comedians of all time. She still have some minor bumps and hurdles to get over before she is there, but she will definitely get there.

Fun, entertaining and in some parts fantastic. 8/10.

Taylor Tomlinson, for the most part, is a funny comedian. There is nothing special about this special, but it did make me chuckle a few times. And it is not a bad way to spend an hour.

I saw her original stand up on Netflix about a year or two ago and liked it, but it wasn't amazing. I thought this one showed so much growth for her as a comedian and in her confidence. She has great timing and the jokes toe the line between upbeat and serious commentary, without bringing the mood down. I'm excited to see what else she does going forward!
