A Netflix-produced Ricky Gervais stand-up comedy special.
If you're familiar with Ricky Gervais you'll know his comedic style by now: refreshingly irreverent, unPC and not afraid to offend. In fact, that's often the aim, offending those without a sense of humour. His appearances at the Golden Globes and his previous special, Humanity, are great examples of his work.
Despite being quite direct and unfiltered there's usually a large degree of intelligence behind the humour, with clever build-ups to punchlines and well-structured arcs to ongoing jokes.
However, in SuperNature the jokes and the structure in general seems less well thought-out. There's some really funny bits but there's also some parts that just seem like he didn't prepare at all and is just stringing random thoughts together. There's some good jabs at woke bs and then some lines that are just there for shock value.
Overall it's quite hit and miss and not in the same league as his best stuff.
