81% Tomatometer 16 Reviews 59% Audience Score 100+ Ratings
Comic Michelle Wolf got her start in the industry on late-night television, writing and contributing to "Late Night With Seth Meyers" and "The Daily Show With Trevor Noah." This Netflix original that puts her in the spotlight, despite having a late-night vibe to it, can be watched anytime on the streaming service. The topical weekly series blends sketches with live comedy and in-studio guests as Wolf takes jabs at all kinds of people in the news, from celebrities to politicians. As Netflix explains, the show has the title that it does because it takes "a break from the seriousness of today's late-night comedy." Read More Read Less

Marc Silver Washington Post That segment serves as a reminder that Michelle Wolf is a dangerous comic. She says she "broke" the correspondents' dinner. Maybe she'll end up breaking TV, too. Mar 28, 2019 Full Review Lara Zarum Village Voice The sketch positions journalism as pure spectacle, just as the "sincere and angry" segment positions late-night comedy as a righteous fact-finding mission. The Break was the rare comedy to point up this contradiction rather than shrink away from it. Aug 23, 2018 Full Review Kelly Lawler USA Today Wolf's girlish voice also makes you expecther humor to be on the softer side. But she gets in her audience's face. Aug 1, 2018 Full Review Proma Khosla Mashable She avoids the didacticism of other late night shows, while also delivering salient commentary on cultural zeitgeist. Jul 16, 2018 Full Review Mark Dolan Common Sense Media Comedian brings her original voice to weekly news show. Rated: 4/5 Jun 5, 2018 Full Review Adrian Hennigan Haaretz I don't think "The Break" has quite done justice to Wolf's talents yet, but it's definitely a show I'll be sticking with.

Audience Member The jokes aren't funny, and Wolf's delivery of the material is annoyingly loud and shrill. There are hundreds of comics who are more talented than this and more deserving of their own show. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Michelle Wolf is woefully unfunny. Saying something loudly in a silly voice doesn't turn it into good comedy. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member She's just not funny and has a very annoying voice/laugh. She loves to laugh at her own jokes too. It's just....bad. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member yeah...that abortion bit was just insanely funny.....smfh Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member You may as well watch the final season of this great show. It has some pretty high-value skits. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The Break is cutting commentary on politics and how we report politics. Michelle Wolf has the charisma of a shih tzu wearing a beret with the comedic punch of a cannon ball. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
