Saw the first episode and thought it was ok but the following episodes were superb.
What I like about him is his indiscriminate pi$h taking.
Redneck Trump voters are an easy target for the usual left leaning comedy fraternity but Cohen also exposes the lefty liberal Clinton voting types.
Conclusion being they are all equally as retarded.
The self loathing white liberal male winning the gangster rap off was pure comedic genius.
Cohen has some minerals I will give him that!
I have a pal Jackie who, as a young man and an engineer in Short Bros, was seconded to Boeing in Seattle for 12 months. The move became permanent and Jackie retired out of Boeing maybe 10 years ago, wife is from NI, kids are as American as momma's apple pie. He always said to me that "the average American" is as thick as shyte. When I tell you that he voted for George W Bush and any other Republican including Trump, it will not surprise you to know that he once told me in whispered tones, "fu'cking ni**ers are ruining America". Jackie is not a white liberal male.
I like Jackie, but not his politics, I have this thing 90:10 by which if a friend is a racist, homophobe or just a right-wing asshole, I balance that with the rest of his/her character, and if they are 90% ok, I live with their shyte. Works ok and at my age, I'm not changing it now.
NB: for clarity, I tell Jackie he is a right-wing asshole, he smiles and nods.
