Ok, this is just delightful. John Mulaney's writing is as hilarious as usual, the kids are great performers, the guests are very funny, specifically Jake Gyllanhaal as the funniest part, Mr. Music. It is truly a great time for all ages, and i hope as a many people as possible get to see it.

Giving it a 10 for the nerve to try and pull this off. The concept is amazing and there are moments of genius. The songs do go on a little long and the kids are a bit much at times. For example, I do wonder if the kid with the lisp has been coached by his parents and comes off contrived. And I know some people who loved the Mr. Music sketch, but it found it to B-flat. The tone is hard to pin down (they admit it) but it was incredibly interesting, occasionally uproarious and well worth the view.

This is such a funny concept executed near perfectly. John Mulaney just seems built for Children's television.

This is not your average comedy special on Netflix. This is one of the most charming, sweet, funny, brilliant pieces of performance art I have ever seen. I can't remember a time I was so moved by a comedy special to the degree that this special impacted me. It was essentially flawless in its execution. The performances Mulaney got out of the kids involved here are jaw dropping. Somehow I was dying of laughter throughout but there was also something so sweetly empathetic and loving in the presentation here. It never waivers from being respectful to the children involved, telling their story from their perspective while laying a very subtle satire that never goes too far. It is both satire and celebration of children at the same time. Finally a comedian who understands that less is more. In my opinion, John Mulaney is now the undisputed king of modern comedy. This is the kind of art people need and deserve.
