I'm liking it but only watch the first 2 episodes. Thoughts?

The ridiculous campaign ads segment was funny.

more people need to see his bit on net neutrality b/c he is absolutely right that it gets ignored due to it being a boring thing to talk about.

His piece on Net Neutrality last night should be shown at before every movie, sporting event, whatever.

And the show is hilarious, and a breath of fresh air as he isn't biased towards a political view, just calls out stupidity as he sees it.

I watched the first episode and liked it. It seemed to me to be a more in depth almost BBC take on news comedy which I liked,

They talked about the India election for ten minutes, you wouldn't even hear thirty seconds about on CNN or Daily Show for that matter.

It's a great show. Love the fact that it's HBO so he can say and show whatever he wants.

The Grandpa penis a few episodes ago totally shocked me and I couldn't stop laughing. Plus, he's obviously knowledgable about what he talks about.

Seen every episode so far. Smart, funny show/host and the freedom of HBO make for a winning combo.

I just don't care for Oliver. Maybe it was just his delivery on the daily show, but I never thought he was very funny, maybe a bit forced I suppose. He is a bright dude though, so I will give it a try.

Daily show held him back, IMO. And being on HBO he's able to kill it. I honestly don't think steward and Colbert would do better than Oliver in an uncensored series.

You can see clips on youtube.

The last two episodes were awesome. He is flourishing on HBO.
