It seems like their overall goal is to recreate the podcast but with a TV budget. Unfortunately the TV format is more of a hinderance because his team probably has to put WAY more effort into a show that’s half as long as just one of 3 podcast a week. Like others have said, he also comes off way better in conversation than in monologue but he is getting better.
I think it’s improved and headed in the right direction. I just don’t think they’ve found the magic to make it a big hit but HBO may keep it going awhile longer because it’s still very smart and insightful.
