The New One is the kind of thing that makes you want to speak in superlatives. It's the most moving, most honest, most surprising and tender, and it's also wildly funny.

A charmingly wry look at the deeply imperfect (emotionally and medically) stand-up's adjustment to becoming a first-time father.

Funny? Not so you'd notice, right? In Birbiglia's world, yes, yes, and yes. Trust me.

[Mike] Birbiglia's latest Netflix special is candid and never saccharine, which oddly makes it all the more heartwarming.
