This show is a trainwreck. Patronizing from the first minute and it doesn't get better from there. Larry Charles apparently has no cultural awareness of the places he goes and also seems to think Westerners invented comedy, and says out loud he doesn't believe people from certain countries have historically had a sense of humor. What?? He also doesn't even showcase good examples of comedy from the places he visits - he just asked people over and over to tell him about their trauma. In one scene near the beginning, Larry says that Iraqi humor involves a lot of references to martyrdom - and then uses a scene from a British movie!!! That is not an Iraqi movie!! The only people who could like this show are people who have never met anyone from any of the places Larry talks about and who have absolutely no political, historical, or cultural awareness. If you know someone from one of these countries, you would know how insane this show is.
