Even though most audiences absolutely hated this show, critics still praise it-unsurprising for an industry plant. This is why fewer people are watching TV; they push people on you even when it's clear they have no talent. I thought his special "Rothaniel" was interesting, not very funny, but as a gay person myself, I enjoy a good coming-out story. HBO keeps advertising this guy, so I watched it, and it was okay, but not something I would recommend. Then this reality show came out, and once again, it's advertised everywhere-magazines, late shows, HBO ads-and I'm left wondering: was this supposed to be funny? This show is extremely disappointing if you're expecting laughter. I watched it with a room full of people who visibly cringed, not just at the awkward scenarios Jerrod puts people in, but also at the cringy things he says throughout the show. He's so painfully unlikable and narcissistic, but I can almost guarantee there will be more HBO contracts for this guy but I don't think he can milk this whole coming out thing for much longer he might have to develop a likable personality.
