problem areas

a late night show that died before people declared late night dead.

 

wyatt cenac’s problem areas aired for two seasons on hbo.

the late night satirical comedy focused each season looking at one major social issue like policing or education.

part late night comedy show and part docuseries, the idea was to learn how different cities tried reform those systems into something that could better serve them.

 

according to journalists and television critics, the show was

ahead of its time

pointedly funny

vital hbo viewing

and

a mixed bag

 

Despite all of that, the network cancelled the show

Throwing it out like a mixed bag of recycling.

 
 

All episodes of Problem Areas are available on HBO, apple tv and YouTube.

hbo made a number of segments and a few full episodes available for free and are below.

the rest you’ll have to pay for because we all know that’s why people get an hbo subscription…

for the quasi-educational comedy programming…

not the cgi dragons and dragon related nudity.

learning can be fun…
