This show will go places. It’s already had an impact, too; that Saudi Arabia piece resulted in an apology from the U.S. government over some offensive racial language used in one of its documents. On

I also find it intriguing that Netflix has hosted shows from the two most recent performers at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
