Genuinely good sketch comedy shows are very very rare and trying to compare every one of them to Chappelle's Show is just an impossible bar to set. That being said, even Chappelle's Show had a few bits that didn't land either, it's just that it had more hits than misses and the high points were some all time greats.

So no, That Damn Michael Che isn't the next Chappelle's Show, but it's better than any other sketch comedy show I've seen since. It often feels like they forgot how to make a good sketch comedy seen since it and Little Britain finished back in the mid-2000s. This is the first sketch comedy series I've found since that gave me some regular moments where I would crack up laughing at some of the bits. I also like the way that some of the bits continue through the entire episode.

Well done Michael Che, I hope there are a few more series left in the tank.

I very rarely give reviews on this site, so rare is it that I needed to reset my password on my account and updated the email address on my IMDB account as I hadn't used that email for about 8 years. I went through all that just to take the time to explain how terrible this show is. It's so bad, even if you have an unlimited download internet connection and steal this series for free, it's still not worth the time or effort to do so. How this show is so highly rated and has even been renewed I will never understand, I've heard better jokes made up by a 6 year old.

It's not that I don't like this type of comedy either, I enjoy the work of many of the guest stars on this show like Andy Samberg, Will Forte, Cecily Strong, etc, but this felt like a bunch of failed jokes and setups that even your community improv theatre rejected.

I can only think that there are a bunch of fake reviews for this show, so if you do decide to give it a try and don't find the first 5 minutes to your taste, please just give up, it doesn't get any better.

I haven't read the book, but reading the comments it would appear as though its fairly different so I don't think this matters much as far as a review of the film is concerned.

The main thing that distracted me through the whole movie was the casting of Shiloh Fernandez as Scat, other than maybe having the look of a sleazy marketer, he seemed massively out of place as a male lead. I didn't think there was any chemistry between him and Amber Heard at all, any attraction between the two seemed totally implausible. He'd probably be fine in a supporting role, but not as a lead. I was wondering the whole time if his father financed the movie or something to get him the role.

Other than that the movie was OK, it did seem to be trying to hard to be cool and edgy and didn't really pull it off. Sure it had a tiny budget, but if anything doing things on a shoe string should make a movie more cool and edgy, but it wasn't at all. Everything that was meant to be cool seemed forced and cliché.

On the positive side, I thought Amber Heard was great as 6, as was her character. I can see why the ending left a few unhappy, but I think it was better to do what they did than just some by the numbers rom-com ending.
