20171211, 20171212:
When I first started this special, I was surprised to see a comedy spy story preface the actual special. In the end, I actually enjoyed the spy portion much more than the actual special itself.
My lack of enjoyment for the special may have been to one or a combination of the following factors:
1) I've never seen Kevin Hart perform a special before.
2) I've never seen a single Kevin Hart movie.
3) I'm not entirely a fan of his style of humor.
4) His style of humor seemed dependent on delivery and his energy.*
5) Excessive and/or forced references to earlier jokes.
Overall, if you enjoy humor that's based on a lot of energy or already a fan of Kevin Hart and his style of humor, then you'll probably enjoy Kevin Hart: What Now? However, if neither of the previous two conditions apply, then perhaps it's just better to stay away.
Netflix determined the special for me as a 82% match. I decided to give the special neither a thumbs up nor a thumbs down.
*I love how he brings so much energy to his performance. That doesn't necessarily make his jokes funny, but I commend him for it all the same.
