More disappointment from me for the Netflix comedy specials. I watched the Craig Ferguson one - "I'm Here to Help" and it just felt flat. I really wanted to like it, because I loved Craig Ferguson on Drew Carey and on Late Late Show. I dunno. I was hoping for better. Maybe "Tickle Fight" is a better special. Will try tonight.
"Voyeur" was so-so. About Gay Talese's story about a hotel owner who built a secret attic space to watch hotel guests through the vents. It's an interesting story, but the further along it went the more it seemed like an infomercial for the book, since I guess he kind of fumbled the initial book release. Kind of like how I felt about "Searching for Sugarman". Some guy probably bought a storage locker at an auction and found thousands of albums and made a documentary to create interest and sell them. Okay, I am being too cynical.
"Shot in the Dark" was actually really entertaining. I was actually hoping for some more episodes there. Some good insight into that world, if "Nightcrawler" was your thing.
