10 Best Stand-Up Comedy Specials Of The Last Decade On Netflix

Chris Rock's first stand-up special in a decade is excellent. Rock is self-reflective in his first Netflix special, opening up about his personal life more than in any of his previous works. He is honest and open, sharing details from the past ten years of his life, few of which paint him a positive light. Tamborine sheds light on a more vulnerable side of Rock and makes his newest hour feel more personal.

During this hour of comedy, Rock spends a considerable amount of time discussing romantic relationships and his advice for maintaining them. Much of his advice is based on his own failed marriage, a topic which he speaks about in-depth, sharing stories about his infidelity and eventual divorce. During this hour, the audience is watching a much more humble Rock than in previous specials.

Of course, Rock offers his unique brand of social analysis, as well, kicking off his special with a scathing, yet funny, attack on US law enforcement for systemic racism. Rock spends time in Tamborine offering his own perspectives on fatherhood, politics, religion and how to deal with fame.

One of the best stand-up comedians of his generation, Rock delivers another hilarious special that sets itself apart from his previous work through a more authentic, reflective performance.
