While there are funny moments needless to day that, but at expense of other religions, && creed. His blatant lies against Hindus reeks of his hatred and Hindu phobia.... If he really pulls a fast one on his own brethren ( we all know what happened in France) Sad, a person of his stature is expected to be understanding and go with positive comedy......

The stand-up comedy was brilliant, and VERY hilarious. I could not stop laughing. Especially, the part where his high school crushed, that rejected him because he was an Indian, but ended up marrying an Indian later in life.Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King is not just for brown person or an immigrant, but anyone who is into comedy, and looking for a great laugh or two, or maybe three.

I think I have found my hero. This stand-up was some what of a prophecy to me, I myself am a first generation, brown, American Muslim so this stand was extremely relatable. I feel like I have gone through the same struggles as Minhaj did growing up with relationships and parents. This stand-up inspires me to be like Minhaj, but all in all, Hasan Minhaj is truly on the come-up to be a star!

This show is awesome! Not your typical stand up special, but Hasan has constructed a fantastic way to tell his story that is both hilarious and touching at the same time. Try to ignore the zero star reviews from racist Fox News viewers.

I'm always optimistic about the future of stand-up comedy and what Minhaj has presented here with Homecoming King is nothing short of excellent. He delivers the emotional tone a stand-up of this sort deserves, but he also had the brilliance to make this extremely funny as well. I will be watching more of him in the near future if decides to continue this route. Well done to him.

Minhaj's recent turn at the Correspondent's Dinner made me check out this special, although I was wondering if he would simply be taking political shots, which at the moment is very much like shooting fish in a barrel. Before seeing him in this special I had quite liked him as a correspondent on The Daily Show, even if he didn't manage to break out of the shadow of some better than him – plus if memory serves me, he came in at the end of Stewart's time, which was not long before I stopped being a regular viewer. All that said, I was surprised by how much and how consistently I enjoyed this special. Delivered in his hometown, Minhaj has constructed a personal show that moves through a lot of ground, that serves as somewhat of an emotional roller-coaster, puts a lot of issues on the table, but remains consistently accessible and funny for those such as myself who do not have this frame of reference. Minhaj's timing and polish is of a very high standard, and he makes the show feel really professional and slick, but still keeps that sense of it being an honest performance with freshness and emotion. And it is a 'performance' more than a normal stand-up show. He moves around the stage well, and items such as screens and lighting are well timed around his performance. In the context of a filmed special, I also enjoyed the camera-work, as it knew how to move around him, when to go close etc – it was very well filmed and edited. Main thing though is that it engages and is funny throughout. Very much one worth seeing.

The guy works hard. He has an act close to Chris Rock. Even better polished, but that should go without saying because there is one generation of comics between them. The stories are well linked. And they are sensible. But funny? Sick. To laugh at his private dramas seems so cruel. Yet maybe the audience is right: they were sold a comic show, so why not laugh?

I just finished watching this Netflix show and all I can say is "AMAZING". It's original, smart, important. it's a MUST WATCH. Hasan is a genius for making this show the way it is. Some parts are even sad, but that's the part that makes this comedy special so different and special. He talks about racism in a very melodramatic way but don't get me wrong, it's still very funny and all the way entertaining.
