Historical Roasts

To the people who say this show is disrespectful: It's not. It's supposed to be a satire meant to make people laugh, especially since nowadays, politics have become too heated a subject to talk about peacefully. But then again, we live in an age where anyone can be easily offended by just one little joke to the point of sparking a controversy.

So anyway, this is a good show. This only gets seven stars from me because the jokes are hit or miss. Some joke I liked, others fell flat. But I was not offended by them because I understand this is meant to be a satire of the historical figures involved and a show that is supposed to poke fun at events both historical and current, which is supposed to be the aim of the comedy series. If you are offended by such portrayals, all I have to say is do not watch.

First this is not real roast, its people playing historical people simulating what a roast with those people would look like so you lose that awkwardness of people getting sick burns live to their face. Having said that, it has some smart and funny burns, you might learn a few new things but this is definitely a relax and enjoy show, dont expect a lot from it, it has some dumb moments but also some edgy and funny ones.

What a wasted concept. So many talented comedians and this slow paced, sorry excuse for comedy was the best you all could do? Turn in your comic cards and get day jobs.

The idea is good. Everything else, very very bad. Good actors bad script and staging

The only reason I watched this show is out of curiosity after reading all the bad reviews.I found that it has good acting and some very funny moments.To me it felt more like a historical parody then a historical roast.As long as you don't take it seriously it's watchable and not a complete waste of time as opposed to many other Netflix originals.I would recommend watching while multitasking since it's not the kind of show that you have to stay focused.
