I'm politically leftward and these days *I* find snl unwatchable. It's basically Democratic Party propaganda pretending to be comedy. Kate McKinnon singing Leonard Cohen's "Halleluiah" and that "To Sir, With Love" number after last year's election were very clear messages of what the show has become. It used to be much more balanced - and funny! If you doubt me, watch all those debate parodies they did in the 1988 election season. And — as with every other live show now — the studio audience is far too loud and screamy. And the enthusiasm they show makes no sense with what's on stage. Are they all given cocaine at 11:29?

Another reviewer described snl as a bank that's "too big to fail". I agree. No matter how bad it gets, it'll never go away. Fortunately we the audience can go away, and I finally have.

(p.s. IMDb rates this show an 8.2, but notice how all the recent reviews are only one star. I think that tells you something.)

score 1/10

Politically (although British and living in England) I a right-wing and I suppose that would make me a republican in the US. Having said that, I completely accept your support of the left. I did do a studio tour in 2011 whilst visiting several states but I have never seen the show and knew little about it. I watched my first episode tonight 12/12/20 with Adele hosting as I'm a big fan. I get that shows love to parody President Trump at the moment, no matter which political persuasion you have, but this show did it in such a nasty way. Why not show Biden as half asleep and slipping his words? Like you said, shows of old poked fun at both parties. The thing that really bothered me was the little news section they have in the middle (not news but you know what I mean) the black presenter, who I truly have no idea who he is, laughed as he joked about President Trump dying of corona virus. That should be sick and wrong in anyone's book. This is why I will never watch another episode. It's interesting reading your comment my American friend.
