I've always found Rock kinda intense - not a bad thing but as he's a comedian and supposed to be funny - JUST being intense is not a good substitute for funny. We all waited for the response to the slap and here we are - a year later and many of us are feeling "that's it?" A year. And that's it? This special was just an hour of angry, repetitive screaming. He took personal issues and shouted his furious response to HIS issues AT us. He wasn't particularly funny, he wasn't particularly insightful and he wasn't particularly noteworthy. He was just angry. Lenny Bruce pulled off angry because he was also insightful. Carlin gave us outrage molded into wisdom and wit. Eddie Murray gives us disdain that always filters in the funny. THIS was just ANGRY. Maybe drug fueled anger which may explain the lack of continuity. This missed the mark (comedy, something to make us laugh) by a mile but let's all hope he FEELS better now and can move on with his life cause he sure seems stuck in that "I just got slapped by Will Smith" moment and it's obviously to his detriment. Move on, Chris - move on.

I don't wanna be on this ship. Between the mutinies and inane lack of preparation for all the many, many, many things that go wrong they've sandwiched unprepared civilians, con men and children into this mess of varied characters ALL of which have way too many problems. These people couldn't organize a finger painting party in preschool let alone a years long trip to another planet. The lack of standards/screening that put this crew together is mind blowing. Hard pass.

First off - NOT a Steve Carell fan but we've been thru everything else on our streaming service so here we are! Of everything I don't like about Carell/shows he's in, I suppose this was the least unwatchable. If I must watch him (and when you've seen everything else - you must resort to your NEVER list) I will only MUST watch his serious roles where he never disappoints by being fuzzily out of sync and somehow smug and superior but at least not outlandishly stupid on top of all that. All I got from this is that parents disappoint, kids disappoint, bosses, co-workers, friends, mates, etc, etc etc disappoint and that THAT somehow chokes the life out of those interactions. Which they did in a literal sense a number of times. It is here where you must place suspension of disbelief on a very high shelf and never access it again or the murders will make no sense at all. Bigger, stronger, fighting for their lives victims being choked out (by one hand in one case) by a scrawny, utterly self involved foodie with daddy issues just beggars logic and leaves one wondering: now HOW did THAT happen? I know, I know - we aren't supposed to question the mechanics of such a simile but all the viewer is left with here is why oh why didn't any of them raise a hand in defense of their life? Nah - if you've got this on your NEVER list - leave it there. Otherwise you'll find yourself compelled to write a review in hopes of stopping your own choking on your own vomit sensation!
