I've been waiting for this special for weeks, and while I'm glad I watched it, I prefer his past work.
Ronny's performance is decent, but is not as harmonious, or humourous, as his previous Netflix special. To me his demeanor seems rather tense, frustrated at times, and in certain parts he's almost nervous. I laughed several times, but I also had several moments when I felt uncomfortable. I'm not easily offended, so I ultimately enjoyed the show, and I see myself watching more of Ronny's comedy specials if he releases them.

It was repetitive to a point that it was a bit annoying, I understand where he was coming from with certain jokes and such but left me feeling somewhat uneasy. Did have good jokes but felt more worn out than some of his older work.
An hour went by quickly which is a good sign for me, I felt it got better towards the end. Highlighting the culture of unqualified and overly critical so what online bullying in a funny way was excellent and a very real issue.
Those that gets pissed off about the UK joke and Mr bean needs to relax as that was part of the joke too. - I am British btw! Do you not think that one or 2 bad experiences from one or 2 encounters resulting in open hatred is not a problem in society? People do it all the time, try to understand the paradox- do you think you can make these points as funny if not funnier yourself? I mean you might not like the jokes but 1 or 2 stars is just unjust lol. I do prefer his other work more but I appreciated this one too. Yellow lives matter my friends!

I don't normally review content on IMDb, but I had to for this one. Ronny brings a worldly perspective not unlike that of Trevor Noah that I only started to cultivate after leaving the US, living abroad, and seeing things from the outside looking in. Might be harder for Americans who never leave to appreciate those aspects of the special. I came to checkout whether folks indeed took to their keyboards to review this special and I was not disappointed. And this special did not disappoint me either. 8/10 stars.
I really enjoyed his latest special, and found it quite unique and funny. He focused on a truly fresh perspective- global, intelligent, clever and timely. Reading some of the reviews of people who panned it... I think it went over their heads. More, please.
