Warn Your Relatives has its bright, smart moments, especially when Kondabolu relaxes a bit, as he does in the hour's second half.

Rated: B-

NPR

He mixes a lot of topical and political humor with goofy stand up, observational humor... but then it's funny.

Where a lesser voice might have gone polemical, Kondabolu kept it all sublimely playful.

But when he tells us that "everything feels like the end of a Kurt Vonnegut novel," you will be reminded that, yes, he's not for everyone.

There are really too many inspired moments here to count.

It's not clamoring to make a statement - and in doing so, it's saying what needs to be said more concisely than almost anyone working in news or politics.

1 star because the show was initially funny and I think Hari has some edgy insight. But then it fell apart into bigoted, political ranting. : /.

Blows...weak and whiney politics. Everyone has had enough. We came here for comedy, not your bitchin'....

More of a prolonged rant than a comedy special in which he appears more keen to solicit hearty "Amens" from the audience than belly laughs.

I hadn't really watched much of Hari Kondabolu's comedy until I saw this special and I am glad I did. I thought he had plenty of insights and funny jokes to present. I hope to see more from him in the future. Inevitably, it is hard to not compare him to other Indian American comedians, and when compared to two of my favorites, Aziz Ansari and Hasan Minhaj, I think he is just short of being as funny. However, I am definitely interested in seeing what other content this comedian presents in the future after watching this solid Netflix special.
