Not polished

Rock is much much funnier then this, you could tell he was more nervous than usual, often spent too much time repeating lines of jokes to make up for timing (a comics bread and butter is timing) I did enjoy the range of topics and at times fearless. I believe that most of the audience was waiting for the WS section of his show and he didn't disappoint in that regard. Please don't juge his abilities to make people laugh by this special alone, I gave it a six out of ten only because of the afore mentioned issues.... I did think the choice of of venue was a good move, Baltimore is a particularly unique city with a very large division in cultural backgrounds. In closing I'm glad I watched it.

A few laughs

I got a few good laughs, but not nearly as many as I was expecting. It was a bit preachy in the first half, and he repeated himself one too many times on quite a few of the jokes. He came out the gate with an energy that didn't feel quite like him, and it took a little while for him to settle in.I appreciated a lot of the things he was saying, and it was cool to hear about his family life a bit. But I was expecting more substance and more laughs, especially compared to his past specials. The best material he had was about the Will Smith slap (as you'd expect) and he saved it until the very end. It felt like the first half of the special was throwaway jokes, the third quarter was what the first half should've been, and the last quarter was the Will Smith content everyone was there for. Not bad, but not quite the comedy special I was looking for.

Great comeback

Lets be real, I think everyone tuned in for his commentary about the infamous slap he endured. But the other jokes featured in this Netflix special are pretty solid as well. I wouldn't say I've historically been a Chris Rock fan but this special has made me want to go back and check his other stuff out. And without giving anything away, he does a fine job at balancing humour and giving his side of the story (and getting some revenge) in his commentary about Will Smith. You might need to read up a bit on the event itself to appreciate that segment of the special (if you've been living under a rock ...pun not intended).
