If you want to listen to an hour long, live narration of Facebook posts from your high school classmates that went to liberal arts colleges, then this might be the 'comedy' special for you. This special is titled Confirmed Kills, and I can indeed confirm that Iliza Shlesinger has now killed all of her jokes (and that goblin voice), and kicked them while they were down. It seems like each of her specials circle around the same jokes about the same topics that have been told by many other comedians before her. There isn't much originality in Confirmed Kills, and nothing that really sets it apart from anything else she's ever done. I found it irritating after about fifteen minutes. I love stand-up comedy, and initially was excited to watch this, but all-in-all I would not be so quick to recommend this to people. I really hope Iliza Shlesinger can come up with some new, original material soon because, based on other reviews I've read after viewing this Netflix special, Confirmed Kills may just kill her popularity.
