I made it about 10 minutes. It just wasn't that good. Unfortunately there just aren't many comics that are good after they make it big. Its a pretty small window and they tend to burn out pretty quick. There are lots of exceptions to that, but once they are rich and leading a celebrity life, they just can't connect with regular people anymore.

I love Kevin Hart and he carried it a long time. But even his past two specials were kind of flat. Its just really hard to keep up. Chappell talks about this all the time. He is tearing it up again, but he took years off and went through a whole bunch of shite. Thats what it takes..

Going to a binary rating system is bad. It gives consumers less information than the five-star system and is simply less useful. It was only a matter of time before they did this because Netflix now makes itself more Facebook-y, but it is still a bad system, regardless of why they are doing it.

As for Schumer, it can be two things. The special is okay, not great, not bad, but whatever. It could be getting some low ratings honestly. However, there IS a campaign to give her low ratings on reddit. Splitsider, the comedy website, found the threads:

Also, the spread of the rating screams tampering. From the article: "33 subscribers gave it 5 stars, 17 gave it 4 stars, 22 gave it 3 three stars, 85 gave it 2 stars, 710 users give it 1 star, and 9 gave it zero stars." That's not how ratings normally distribute.

Though I'm not sure why people spend their effort trying to push down the ratings of entertainment. Who cares? These campaigns are common, but sort of pointless.
