    Heart Warming interviews. Very interesting and surprising.

    Every episode of this is different because the guests make it their own and that's great . I'm enjoying the format, slightly frantic and hard to follow. You also learn about the entertainment industry as much as it can be told on a show like this. Tina Fey was the only woman so far. So female representation on the show doesn't look great. She also seemed the most genuinely nervous and herself. The downside was that she seemed so nervous and talked so fast, it made it quite hard to watch, which is a shame because I think she's great. The rest of the guests...I'm not sure Letterman could find more narcissistic, self -indulgent people.. You've got Obama, Clooney, Howard S., Jaz Z and Seinfeld! O And a warning.. It's a lot about his son! David Letterman 's son that is.

    Depending on your age, you may not know Dave's history as a comedian. Since he's been gone from late night TV, we get a sharper look at his genius and compelling talent through this series of Netflix shows. Every episode brings someone bigger than life and nearly an hour of their life story and/or accomplishments with Dave's one of a kind crafty wit drawing out the scenery in a way that makes one realize how spectacularly talented Letterman truly is, and how much he's missed. I found every guest at least a 10 for intriguing, with one exception, and Dave always a 10. This is a rare taste of post Late Night talent you really shouldn't miss. It's unlike what you might expect and more heartfelt than I can describe. I've watched the Obama episode 3 times and others twice. The Jay-Z episode didn't seem to connect like the others but I'd rate the other episodes high enough that the average would still be a 10. Do yourself a favor and don't miss this gem. See how you'd rate it. No doubt you'll enjoy though. This is the end of Season 1 with 7 episodes and I really hope there's another season planned!

    I was beyond excited that Dave was returning to my home & eagerly awaiting this series. However I get the feeling that Letterman is much more focused on entertaining himself with this endeavor than he is we, the viewers.I think his first episode choice of President Obama was a mistake. Politicians are anodyne & guarded and rarely genuine which makes for boring interviews. I was more hopeful for the Clooney interview but was also disappointed. There's not alot of entertaining, witty banter, which where Dave thrives. Instead a very serious conversation coupled with secondary interview of Clooney's dad and a very depressing conversation with a Syrian Refugee.Like I said I get the feeling Dave is really out to please himself more than anybody else here. Apparently he finds these people interesting and is looking to have serious, politically orientated conversations. To boot, In both episodes that have been released the conversations never really get that in depth because they are interlaced secondary interviews & pre-taped footage.I hope Dave is having fun with people finds interesting and I'm glad he's doing what he wants. So far though, I haven't found the guests very interesting or the conversation at all fun. I just want to be entertained, and so far I haven't been. I predict this series is a one and out.
