Just watched the first episode. It was hilarious, and I don't even like David Spade. What exactly were the critics expecting? The new Netflix show is exactly what Norm has been doing for years: Cutting off his guests, getting them to reveal their genuine sense of humour, pretending he's an idiot, ridiculing the traditional guest and host dynamic, telling terrible jokes in a way that makes them terribly funny. No doubt this style of anti-comedy has niche appeal. But for the people it's aimed at, it succeeds very well.
