I have only seen the first special so far. And I really liked it but felt like there were moments when I wasn't really feeling the vibe. And I kept thinking, initially, "oh he's older, maybe lost a step..." but then I remembered a few "meh" jokes/moments from his earlier specials and just thought, he's never been perfect. So I'm with you on this.
