The Opposition with Jordan Klepper Audience Reviews

Linkshoch Wonderful Movie
Nonureva Really Surprised!
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
davislyndel Wow this show sucks, watched a couple of episodes, I really don't get it, not funny at all.
dean249 Watched this & it's literally about as funny as catching a cold. If you're in to people just ripping other people to bits, without even being remotely funny, then this is the show for you! Without being counterculture, you're NOT going to be funny or get any laughs as it's just drab and dreary to say the best. 1/10
Charles Herold (cherold) I've only seen the first episode, and I feel like that's enough. It's not just that it had a rough start - The Colbert Report took a bit of time to get its sea legs - but that it feels like a misfire in every way.The basic premise is that Jordan Klepper is playing an Alex Jones-style conspiracist. There are two issues that show up right away. First, it's awfully similar to the premise of the Colbert Report, which was Colbert as Bill O'Reilly, and second, Klepper is the wrong person to play the part.Klepper, (who was good on the Daily Show) is simply not able to project the intense, insane incoherence of cynical paranoiacs like Jones and Tomi Lahren. Instead, he comes across as a smug frat boy. He would be well suited to play a slick troll like Milo Yiannopoulos, but he is unable to capture the essence of Jones the way Colbert caught the essence of O'Reilly. Instead, he seems like an "east coast liberal media elite" trying, and failing, to play a character. The other problem is that the first episode just wasn't funny. It jumped here and there with no focus and felt like it wasn't sure what it wanted to be, and the various "reporters" did little shticky bits that felt like amateur theater.Because of all this, I don't see much room for growth. Klepper is saddled with a concept he can't pull off. It seems unlikely he could just reverse course now, and I don't see him getting a handle on the character he presumably chose to play.At the end of the episode, I simply thought what I thought when Trever Noah took over the Daily Show: Why not Jessica Williams? How does she not have a show? Did she get in a fight with a bigwig at Comedy Central? I just don't get it.
matthijsalexander It is clear Klepper is supposed to be the new John Stewart. Trevor Noah is funny and does a reasonably good job, but nowhere as good as John Stewart. Unfortunately the daily show has become a platform for a Daily Anti Racism crusade, the intention of Noah and TV makers is commendable, but I am sorry to say that for international audience like myself the constant topic of racism (only the kind that applies to Afro Americans) is getting really boring! Again, addressing the subject is great and admirable. But day-in-day out, really? The message looses its power. Ask yourself, what if Luther King had a 'I have a dream' speech every day. People be like: Yeaaaaaaaah yeaah, whatever dude!Also boring is ANOTHER show that is going to address the exact same issues as Colbert, Oliver, Maher, Jeffreys, Conan, Noah and the regular news. Therefore I think Klepper will have a hard time succeeding, overkill on comedy, overkill on politics. Too much. Just piles and piles of it on TV.Klepper started off with a rather failed populist move, attacking Alex Jones. Steven Colbert has imitated him, not original! A very weak move. His co-hosts weren't really impressive either, semi funny skits. Nor was his guest interesting. The Pilot was a typical pilot wherein they tried too hard.The overall content was delivered rather fast and rather sloppy. Kleppers'' interview skills, weren't impressive either, nor funny, nor intelligent. The 'opposition' concept was rather vague and blurry to me.Surely, despite my disappointment, this is a pilot and there is plenty to work with. I'll be watching Klepper, he absolutely has the potential to become big. He just needs to find his own character, but absolutely polish The Opposition to something more than it is now.EDIT: 06/10/2017 Seen a, or the, second show. Still rubbish! A cynical tirade is all it is. Simply saying the opposite of what you mean and making this known through a cynic tone, isn't comedy. It's simplicity.EDIT 05/04/2018 Yeah. Klepper has found his way. I still feel his co-hosts are somewhat weak and like the Daily Show, overkill on the racism subject. It's wearing us out. The interviews are still crap. I stopped watching them. The comedy bit, hilarious though.
