The Daily Beast said:
Norm Macdonald Has a (Terrible) Show. Michelle Wolf Had a Great One. Why Are We Settling?
Last month, Netflix cancelled Michelle Wolf. Now, it’s parading around Norm Macdonald’s ticker tape of stupid. Hollywood is severely broken. ‘Norm Macdonald Has a Show’ proves it.

If it isn’t Norm Macdonald, it’s someone I probably confused him for, or is kind of like him. Someone like Norm Macdonald kind of always has a shitty show. We’ve resigned ourselves to this Hollywood truth. As Melanie McFarland wrote in an excellent Salon piece on this very topic, “The world has always been ruled by some version of Norm Macdonald. That’s why so many people love him.”

Perhaps we even watch these shitty shows, maybe because we’re fans, or maybe because we think that’s the thing we’re supposed to do. But, like, what if we just... didn’t? Better yet, what if they—the proverbial “they”—just stopped making them?

...

The Break, Wolf’s short-lived Netflix show, was a sharply written, carefully planned, high-production gem, a valuable and critically valued descendant of The Daily Showwith a necessary point of view. (A woman’s!)

No one is funnier than Michelle Wolf. Except dudes.
 
Norm is one of the few comedians I can stomach, sorry to see him capitulate to lunacy.

Audience seems to like it so far
Well, to be fair, it's 5 reviews.

With an average 7/10 from critics, and 100% from audience. The green tomato makes that image look worse than the numbers. But yeah kinda meaningless with so few reviews.
