I'm a huge fan of the guy, but this special was weak. He's getting mature, he's married and a dad, he's working on his own issues and trauma. Good for him, but it means he's ranting less, and his growth story is not delivered in an overly funny way. Not that his previous gems were only due to his anger, but this just felt a bit boring. None of the usual Bill Burr magic. Maybe staying home for two years didn't help with testing out routines in clubs and finding new material. A lot of recycled topics, jokes that when you know his previous works, felt stale.
