How we stay independent. Editorial scores are not for sale. TVI may take on paid advisory or research work, but no commercial relationship buys coverage, advance access to scores, favorable treatment, or a change to a published finding. We pay for our own streaming subscriptions, and no reviewer sees sponsor data or affiliate revenue tied to a score. More about how we work →

The TVI Take

Netflix's second live-broadcast roast, Shane Gillis hosting, Hart on the dais, with sets from The Rock, Katt Williams, Tom Brady, Lizzo, Pete Davidson, and Sheryl Underwood, whose unfiltered run earned a standing ovation. The production values match the spectacle the format demands, but the live-broadcast constraint produces an uneven hit rate: a handful of constructed bits land, the rest dies in the safety net of celebrity goodwill.

Best watched in highlight form rather than as a full ninety minutes.
