In his latest NetFlix special, Brennan showcases with writing skills. His materials, divided into three categories (one-liner, emotional, and traditional), are clever, provocative, and honest. Brennan bares his soul when he talks about his personal stories including his battle with depression. A dark and beautiful performance.

In her second Netflix special, Kirkman delivers both style and substance. From period to Jesus, meditation to abortion, and fingering to catcalling, she is brutally honest and sarcastically hilarious. An enjoyable watch.

Haters Back Off!, one of Netflix’s latest original series, is bizarre, off-putting, and cruel. The first eight episodes introduce Miranda Sings (Colleen Ballinger), who is an aspiring singer with extreme confident but no talent, and her dysfunctional family. As uncomfortable and cringe-worthy to watch Miranda’s full-of-herself-yet-clueless personality, I enjoyed its first season. There’s something humanness underneath that self-destructiveness. I definitely looking forward to the next season.

In his latest special for Netflix, Russell Peters continues to bank on racial jokes. Even though the material is familiar, he is still killing it, especial his interaction with the audience. One particular line stood out is when he mocked Trump hypocrisy on immigration. How could he be against immigrants when when two out of his three wives were immigrants?

Live from the Ville, streaming on NetFlix, lives up to Cedric’s nickname: It’s entertaining. His deep voice helps when he incorporates singing into his routine. He has lots of funny lines, but doesn’t delve deep into a particular topic. For instance, I was hoping for more than a white dude who eats lots of Cheetos when he makes fun of Trump. It’s enjoyable, but not quite fulfilling.

Recapturing the investigative report that shook the Catholic community in Boston, Tom McCarthy’s Spotlight is a powerful film that is both well written and superbly performed. I enjoyed every minute of watching it.

Cross’s latest special, Making America Great Again!, is controversial, thoughtful, and of course, hilarious. From Trump to gun to religions, Cross holds nothing back. Not only I enjoyed his dark comic style, but also have tremendous respect for his provocative position on politics.

Jefferies’s latest special clocks in an hour a half, and yet he managed to make every moment counts. From rape (Bill Cosby) to misogyny to vaccine to autism to parenting to shitting, he is ruthlessly hilarious. The highlight is his view on U.S. politics. On gun and abortion, he mocks the Republicans: “All life is precious unless they step on my property.”

Agree with him or not, the Australian comedian will make you think about the meaning of freedom in American. We claim to be the land of the free and yet we have one the highest rates of incarceration in the world. When it comes to assisted suicide, are we free to decide what we want to do with our live? Freedumb is streaming on Netflix so I’ll save the Trump jokes for you to enjoy.

In this poignant documentary, filmmaker Elizabeth Van Meter and Orange Agent victim Huỳnh Thanh Thảo found a profound connection that transcends locations, languages, cultures, and races. Helping each other through their darkness, they bonded and built a new library and their new life. Thảo’s Library is streaming on Netflix.

Fernando González Molina’s Palm Trees in the Snow clocks in almost three hours, but every minute is worth watching. It’s a gorgeous, sensual, and romantic film set in the colonial period of Equatorial Guinea. Bisila (Berta Vázquez) is simply stunning.
