The New One is the kind of thing that makes you want to speak in superlatives. It's the most moving, most honest, most surprising and tender, and it's also wildly funny.

A charmingly wry look at the deeply imperfect (emotionally and medically) stand-up's adjustment to becoming a first-time father.

Funny? Not so you'd notice, right? In Birbiglia's world, yes, yes, and yes. Trust me.

[Mike] Birbiglia's latest Netflix special is candid and never saccharine, which oddly makes it all the more heartwarming.

I haven't laughed out loud like this for years. Mike is not only a great comedian but a true philosopher, his jokes are so funny because they are based on truths. I am surprised that people did not agree with the 100% Tomatometer.

An Insanely funny and openly honest look at becoming a father with astute and suprising use of the stage and lighting.

Unbelievably funny. Mike Birbiglia's story of his journey through youth and parenthood comes full circle in the most relatable way. My husband and I felt as though we were being told our own story. "The New One" is the heartwarming affirmation of life we all need in these difficult times.

What happens when a serial nihilist comedian opens up about his inner monologue and struggle with attempting to have a meaningful connection in life? True cathartic entertainment for anyone from the most emotional person to the most nihilistic.

I'm probably going to wait a week and watch it again because I want to experience it again. I laughed more than I've ever laughed at a comedy special. Very relatable.
