Here's the deal: critics gave this a perfect score, but actual viewers were way less impressed. That 5.7 on IMDB and 67% audience score tells you this is one of those 'your mileage may vary' specials.

Jenny Slate has a very specific comedic style - quirky, vulnerable, sometimes uncomfortably honest about bodily functions and emotional messiness. If you loved her in 'Obvious Child' or her other work, you'll probably enjoy this. If you find that style grating, you'll be checking your watch.

The themes about bravery in love and parenting are genuinely interesting, but stand-up is such a personal medium that the execution matters more than the concept. Based on the ratings split, it seems like Slate's delivery didn't quite land for a lot of regular viewers, even if comedy critics appreciated the craft.

Bottom line: This is fine background viewing for adults on a Friday night if you're already a fan, but it's not essential viewing, and it's definitely not something you're going to be quoting at brunch.
