There’s nothing in PostMortem to actively dislike. [Sarah Silverman's] affection for her father is clear and lovely...But the material never really rises to the level of entertaining and falls well short of funny.

What She Said

Sarah Silverman’s blue performances ... fused with white hot anger and pain at losing her father and stepmother nine days apart ...It’s a gritty hour and a bit so the faint of heart need not tune in.

Rated: 2/4

This special feels different not only because of the subject matter, as Silverman recounts her last days with her parents, but also for the fact that she mentions she filmed this hour during the middle of her tour.

Ready Steady Cut

It’s nice when comedy does this, and nicer still when a long-time comedian goes off-brand to do it, because it captures that feeling of evolution that death creates in us all.

Rated: 4/5

Heartfelt, poignant, hilarious, relatable. I’m going through some of this with a parent right now. Watching this was like therapy.

Postmortem exhibited a tremendous amount of sincerity and growth from Sarah as both a comic and a person. It's hard to get knee slapping laughs out of this content but her set was funny, well structured, beautifully delivered, and moving

If you are looking for a good time do not watch this. This is podcast material, not comedy. If you are at a similar age to Sarah as I am, it's the time in your life when you loose your parents and that generation and it's painful. Lot's of people have sweet funny stories about their parents but its not comedy for others it's your personal stories to share with friends and family don't package as a comedy special for the masses. We have our own families and stories and grief.

Sarah is a gift to the universe. Postmortem is my favorite of her many terrific specials. This one -- discussing the death of her dear dad and stepmom with love, tenderness, sadness, and of course laughter is particularly powerful. It's amazing to me how she can combine these emotions in one hour. She's a master and the world is better place because of her. Thank you so much, Sarah.

I found myself smiling at a few of the anecdotes but not really laughing. It’s a nice tribute to her parents but very similar observations that many of us could make about our own parents. Which is fine. Just like this special. It’s fine.
