First Minute on Netflix Bad thoughtscreator and star Tom Segura explains what it feels like to be a comedian. "Do you know the stupid shit you're sent to HR?" he giggled. “I got paid for it.”

He is illuminating the wide theme of the episode - "Jobs" - but in reality, he can explain his overall series. His promise (or threat) is not an idle promise. Bad thoughts'The whole reason d'être is moving beyond the boundaries of good taste, hoping to cause horror or disgust. How successful do you think Segura’s success is, and whether you think it’s a goal worth starting with, it’s a question of personal sensitivity. I would say this: You can't accuse that person of not committing.

In the interview, Segura compared Bad thoughts arrive Twilight Zone or "The Dark Comedy Version" Black Mirror. ” might be described as a sketching performance. I think you should leave with Tim Robinsonthough people understand why comedians don't want to evoke other comedians' projects directly. Each of its six installments is divided into two or three sections, with the last one usually being the first half of two sections – better encourage viewers to get Netflix’s autoplay feature to do that. The whole thing comes in 114 minutes, including credits, or less than a drop per week for Disney+ Ando.

Although Segura describes the show as "dark", it is not actually the case. Yes, inappropriate, rough, occasionally violent and often explicit, yes. (If that was your teacup, it wouldn't necessarily cause a complaint.) But what about the darkness? I guess it depends on your definition.

You will see a man (Segura) his pants. You'll see a different person (soprano'Robert Iler sat on the lap of another guy (Kirke Fox). You'll watch an elderly man being bound by a playboy, one having sex with an exclusion monster, while another handing the axe to chop off his own cock. (Although all the men played by Segura are playing Bad thoughts It really attracted some interesting guest stars like Dan Stevens, Shea Whigham and Rachel Bloom. ) You won't see much that actually feels enough to shock or bruise, or at least I don't.

The format of these stories varies by segment: post-apocalypse horror, sexy foreign films, and some reward features straight to DVD Steven Heiger’s atrocities. What is sent is not always so precise - meeting "A25" is a studio Patch Adams- About a janitor-style cheese fan who touches people literally and metaphorically? But Segura and his co-directors Rami Hachache and Jeremy Konner identified the details that really mattered. The James Bond-type thriller Sendup that opens the series is very good. The exact sound plop It's perfect when the spy puts dirty pants on the floor.

Despite the wide range of types and styles, the most enduring repetitive themes are obvious and sibling. (As you would expect, cartoonists are known in other ways Joe Rogan Experience. Bad thoughts Thankfully, the clumsiest anti-"cancel culture" posture is avoided, but it also cannot resist finding and eating cakes. Of course, racist war stories may be unacceptable. But what if it comes from a little boy? What if the boy recited it at a school rally to pay tribute to his beloved grandfather (Segura)? What if Segura also sees herself as the boy's horror father? Can you laugh now?

Another more important theme is sexual humiliation. if Bad thoughts is meant to provide a window into Segura's most twisted ideas, he apparently cannot stop dreaming up scenarios in which a man is forced to submit to sexual situations he really, really would rather not be in — whether it's because the lady he really wants to screw has made him promise to bone another, more repulsive woman first, or because his wife's dying wish is to sleep with a strapping stranger, or because he'd still rather get naked with a guy he just met than face members of the public was verbally insulted in his talk show special. (Again there is this topic.)

As the punching moves around, “Are you angry?” and “ew, big sex” aren’t particularly novel or outrageous. but Bad thoughts Will milk double the sense of humor and some of it. Whenever the series returns, the three chapters of “Cyrus” become more interesting, not because the jokes are bound to be more inspiring, but because Segura keeps asking for more crazy twists and turns to link them together. Another single-segment sketch is the stereotypical male dream of having a very large dick and then upgrading it to a surreal scale. The excitement is seeing how far he will go and then how he will stand out from it when he can’t catch it further.

My favorite piece, though, is the one that brings Segura’s humor entirely to the other. "Rex Henley" is a two-part about a country singer who has become so rich and famous that he completely loses connection with his fan base, but then ridiculously violently and violently holds the fierce length to restore his magic. I don't know Segura, so I don't know if this is a real fear of him. But of course it feels like Can Talk about the personal anxiety of a successful person is enough to have five Netflix Specials, his own podcast empire, and his own Netflix comedy series.

Unlike, for example, the extended fantasy of a barista who punishes a barista for drink orders that are very simple, this concept has nothing to do with it. Segura also pretends. When Daniella Pineda plays the last girl, he treats himself as an unpopular and unpredictable villain. But if the concept is so hilarious that it’s as engaging as potty humor, dirty words as common as sex throughout most of the series. This is one of the few moments Bad thoughts It feels like you are staring at someone’s personal bad thoughts, rather than some widely familiar ID.
