    Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

    The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

    4 episodes in and I still find myself covering my eyes like I'm watching a horror movie. Wow... the balls on this guy. I have huge respect for him, but I feel sorry for his crew. They must be on edge.

    There have been some clips, like the mariachi one, i was sat in a coffee shop on my own with my iPad watching this though headphones, and i couldn't contain my hysterical laughter. They must of thought WTF is this guy drinking.. I WANT SOME ! I really enjoy Sacha's work. But this has to be his best. Embarrassed for those duped, embarrassed to share the same specie you dumb buffoons. Really ? Pull your pants down and charge into a pad. Dress up as a princess to catch an illegal.. oh my.

    Cohen appeases our longing desires to have him once again return in ridiculous disguises and mess with people, all while staying in character through even the most ridiculous and cringey moments. This time it's through his hit new Showtime series "Who is America?" Cohen has definitely gone off the chains master-crafting some of his most brilliant personas to date, such as a moronic Southern conspiracy theorist who can't do simple addition while interviewing Bernie Sanders. If the interviews themselves cease to entertain you, Cohen's ability to ad-lib in character will be more than enough. For those of you who've also been yearning for the return Cohen's classic shock-value, you'll also definitely be delighted to see it's return; whether it's him disguising himself as a disabled vet to manipulate Sarah Palin or getting several former or currently elected Republican officials to voice support for a program that would arm toddlers with weapons. It is paradigm television for those who've been quoting "Borat" for the past decade. However, despite a brief monologue in "The Dictator", this is Cohen's debut to satirizing current social problems, politics, politicians, and figures that presently effect our society. Unfortunately, Cohen makes zero effort to stray away from only manipulating, shaming, and embarrassing anyone but Republicans. From having Senator Arpaio, a controversial Republican who still asserts that Obama's birth certificate is forged, to unwittingly agree to receiving a "golden shower", to manipulating Georgia Republican Representative Jason Spencer into screaming the N-word; it's apparent that Cohen has an agenda to humiliate the Republican party. This is corroborated by the episodes that have already aired on top of verified officials set to appear such as Palin and David Patraeus, who was Trump's first pick for Secratary of State. On top of that, the Bernie Sanders interview with Cohen disguised as Ruddick was particularly uneventful and blatantly fluff in contrast to the repeatedly over-the-op pranks pulled on Republican officials. After only four episodes, it seems to me that the Cohen has already answered the question asked in the title: "Not the Republicans." I would've liked to see Cohen explore and reveal the twisted values and ideological fallacies of many politicians, both Republican and Democratic, and unfortunately was met with what seems to be playing out as a partisan diatribe. Personally I do believe that this was some decision-making by perhaps producers of the show, who probably deemed that exposing unfavorable characteristics of politicans of all kinds would simply be too complex in comparison to just exposing people we can simply slap a label on. Or perhaps Cohen feels this negatively about the Republican party. Who knows? As a result, I give "Who is America?" a 6.5 (rounded to 7) due to it's brilliant execution, Cohen's unrelenting bravery and acting skills but also due to it's failure to truly embrace what I thought would be a more intriguimg theme.
