Although evaluations of Dangerous Ideas haven’t ranked extremely sufficient to earn it a spot on our greatest Netflix reveals roundup, the streamer’s new anthology sequence does come extremely really useful from me.
I’m an enormous fan of darkly humorous tales and anthologies, and I do place Black Mirror season 7 into that class, even when lots of the tales in Charlie Brooker’s sequence are downright bleak with no comedic aid.
In Dangerous Ideas, nevertheless, the disturbing nature of the tales is offset by some gross-out, cringe comedy and often I’m not an enormous fan of that, but it surely actually labored for me right here.

Why I really like Netflix’s Dangerous Ideas
(Picture credit score: Netflix)
The sequence is Tom Segura’s first go at sketch comedy. It sees him play varied totally different roles together with an incompetent murderer, a rustic singer who kidnaps his followers, and a troublesome buyer at a espresso store. You by no means fairly know what you’re going to get as you bounce between episodes, and it’s assured to shock you.
And severely it’s very surprising. The primary episode alone made me assume “oh, this is how dark we’re getting, okay!”, and though you may sort of predict what’s coming, it nonetheless fills you with this nervous sense of dread. You’ll additionally chortle too, which is a wierd sensation certainly.
There’s some actually nice visitor stars on this sequence too together with Jurassic Park’s Daniella Pineda, The Sopranos’ Robert Iler and Boardwalk Empire’s Shea Whigham, accompanying Segura on this completely wild journey.
The present is rated R for “crude humor” and “injury detail” and severely, you’ll cringe in locations. That is positively an adults-only present and covers some subjects that aren’t household pleasant in any respect, so be warned! I wouldn’t be shocked when you watch a few of this behind your eyes, fairly truthfully.
Segura has obtained the stability between humour and horrifying stuff proper right here, for my part. He performs on stereotypes, parodies issues like motion flicks, catastrophe films, and A24 films, and isn’t afraid to simply go there.
The identical as any anthology sequence, some episodes are stronger than others and other people may have their very own ideas about each, whether or not that’s constructive or not.
Dangerous Ideas has a 55% Rotten Tomatoes important score, not excessive sufficient to be thought of ‘Fresh’ by the assessment aggregrate website’s requirements, so it’s turn out to be this weekend’s ‘Marmite’ watch. It’s going to thrill some folks and fully disgust others, and maybe that’s sufficient to persuade you to offer it a go!
