This just keeps on getting better and better.
Absolutely love this show. Oliver does a great job at really making you think at the very important issues that just constantly get swept under the rug. Highly recommend this show.
For the most part, this is a wonderful show. There have been a couple segments over these initial 2 seasons where he made some questionable statements, but I'll write those off as well-intentioned mistakes.
Now Complete Rubbih this show
Just keeps getting better, in my opinion. John Oliver more often than not gives a very complete 360 view of the topics he discusses, and with rare exceptions I have learned something that I didn't know much about after watching. Well worth a watch.
One of the best shows on TV. Well researched and gives a realistic look at a sad country.
Best f'ing show ever!
This show is awesome. You get the news, but you also get some laughs out of it!! How can you go wrong?
As always remarkable clear and truthful.
After John Stewart left the Daily Show, there was a bit of a hole left in comedic news shows. Trevor Noah is good, but the approach that HBO took with Last Week Tonight lends itself well to this being the successor to what John Stewart started. Weekly shows allow John to dive deeper into a specific topic, and he covers each one of them well, managing to find a slew of relevant topics and uncovering the issues that lie therein. The only issue is that despite the comedy, the inequality, injustice, and frankly the stupidity he uncovers sometimes can leave you frustrated and feeling hopeless that there is little you can do to change things.
I am Sophie and this is my website.
A little about me š I am a marketing student in Paris. I love spending afternoons with friends in a cafe or a park.
But more than anything else, I love watching (.. bingingā¦) series on my computer on rainy Sundays or any sunny day for that matter š
I must have watched hundreds of shows by now, from romance to science-fiction series. Often I like to go back to a show I enjoyed. But I donāt feel like watching it all over againā¦
I created this website so myself and others could find the best episodes of our favourite shows. As of today, I have about 1,000 shows on the website with votes and rating coming from fans.
Hopefully, you can join me from your sofa and enjoy some nice TV!
