He brings an audience member onto stage for a trick and then calls her a "clumsy cow" for knocking something over. Really? REALLY? What an arrogant jerk this man has become.
The "clumsy cow" comment came before his painfully weird "faith healing" even began. I am not religious but found his appropriation of Christian prayer and music to be creepy (not in the good way!) and straight up disrespectful. Instead of making faith healers look like charlatans (as he wanted) it just made him look ironically righteous. I turned this off with a big ICK feeling left inside.
Before this special, I had watched everything of Derren Brown's that I could find and had always been thoroughly entertained by him. Now I will never watch any of his work again.
