(Image credit: Netflix)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe series is Tom Segura\u2019s first go at sketch comedy. It sees him play various different roles including an incompetent assassin, a country singer who kidnaps his fans, and a difficult customer at a coffee shop. You never quite know what you’re going to get as you jump between episodes, and it’s guaranteed to shock you.<\/p>\n
And seriously it’s very <\/em>shocking. The first episode alone made me think “oh, this <\/em>is how dark we’re getting, okay!”, and even though you can kind of predict what’s coming, it still fills you with this nervous sense of dread. You’ll also laugh too, which is a strange sensation indeed.<\/p>\nThere’s some really great guest stars in this series too including Jurassic Park<\/em>\u2019s Daniella Pineda, The Sopranos<\/em>\u2019 Robert Iler and Boardwalk Empire<\/em>\u2019s Shea Whigham, accompanying Segura on this totally wild adventure.<\/p>\nThe show is rated R for “crude humor” and “injury detail” and seriously, you will cringe in places. This is definitely an adults-only show and covers some topics that are not family friendly at all, so be warned! I wouldn’t be surprised if you watch some of this behind your eyes, quite honestly.<\/p>\n
Segura has got the balance between humour and horrifying stuff right here, in my opinion. He plays on stereotypes, parodies things like action flicks, disaster movies, and A24 movies, and isn’t afraid to just go there. <\/em><\/p>\nThe same as any anthology series, some episodes are stronger than others and people will have their own thoughts about each one, whether that’s positive or not.<\/p>\n
Bad Thoughts<\/em> has a 55% Rotten Tomatoes critical rating, not high enough to be considered ‘Fresh’ by the review aggregrate site’s standards, so it’s become this weekend’s ‘Marmite’ watch. It’s going to delight some people and completely disgust others, and perhaps that’s enough to convince you to give it a go!<\/p>\nYou might also like<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n

Even though reviews of Bad Thoughts haven’t ranked highly enough to earn it a place on our best Netflix shows roundup, the streamer’s new anthology series does come highly recommended from me. I’m a huge fan of darkly funny stories and anthologies, and I do place Black Mirror season 7 into that category, even if […]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":6128,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6127","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-blog"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cicserver.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cicserver.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cicserver.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cicserver.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cicserver.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6127"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cicserver.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6127\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cicserver.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cicserver.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cicserver.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cicserver.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
