    Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

    It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

    I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

    Jordan Klepper pretends to be a republican conservative and loyal trump supporter while being the exact opposite. I wait for every episode knowung it will make me laugh out loud every time

    This show is the perfect replacement for Colbert Report. Since Colbert moved and lost host edge, and Jon left us with Trevor, I've been feeling like no one was doing anything noteworthy in Late Night. I was just about to go to bed at a decent hour, when this show began. It is everything I ever wanted and more. Klepper was well trained by Stewart, and it shows every night. It's that perfect Colbert combination of political commentary and pure comedy, and its very smart. Personally, I'm just a satire lover, and this fills the recent void of smart, sharp, silly satires that are always my favorite. If I can't have old Colbert, this is the next best thing.

    I've watched the show from the beginning and look forward to it every night! Great writing and the "journalists" have perfect delivery. I enjoyed Jordan Klepper on The Daily Show and I'm so glad he got his own show. Keep up the great show!

    The Opposition has its flaws, but I hope audiences give it a chance. The main flaw is the lack of originality. As others have mentioned, this feels like Colbert Report light. Klepper is making an effort to parody the right wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, but the parody itself is a work in progress and the concept is not very innovative, to say the least. But I would propose that an unoriginal show done well is better than an original idea poorly executed.The other flaw is that the show is recent and relatively obscure. It doesn't have the juice to attract famous guests, but that doesn't mean that the guests it does have are not interesting. I hope the show is able to make the interviews informative and make it less about who the guests are and more about the ideas they espouse and the insight they can provide. For example, I thought the recent interview with Rob Riggle was very well done. The ability to do so consistently rests largely with Klepper and his skill to make the segment into a conversation that gives guests an opportunity to open up, rather than just a rushed clowning act with an extra.In addition, this show has a challenge of competing with many other like shows that have a go at discussing political news in a satirical and humorous manner.All this being said, I do feel like this show has potential. It makes up somewhat for its flaws by having a talented cast and good writers, who are able to induce subtlety into their jokes. The show needs to focus on execution, as well as finding new dimensions that will separate it from the rest.I already find it more enjoyable than the Daily Show with Trevor Noah and Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. It doesn't have that self-righteous, pompous, preachy feel to it. It typically makes fun of ideas and not people. It is not vicious in a futile attempt to be edgy. I hope it stays away from becoming propagandist and remains in the comedy realm, a realm when all parties are equally liable to be ridiculed for their foolishness, incompetence, and intolerance. I think this show has something. I will continue watching and hope others give it a chance as well.
