So, despite not being entirely original, the premiere was as entertaining as anything on Comedy Central.

This is the magic of John Oliver...Last Week Tonight team has found a way to take a seemingly complicated issue, remove the talking points and cultural baggage surrounding it, break it into understandable parts-and then slowly rebuild it
March 15, 2018
That was a brilliant segment, and more than enough to elevate the first edition of a show that doesn't have to be in quite such a rush. Enjoy yourself a little more, John Oliver. Take your foot off the accelerator and stop speeding.

But he pulls it off because of the unexpected ways he finds to insert humor into otherwise angering and/or depressing topics.
March 15, 2018
Oliver cleverly makes fun of the relative ignorance of the American TV audience when it comes to world affairs.
March 15, 2018
The show is funny, but what makes it interesting is Oliver's unique ability to use humor and parody to offer intelligent explanations, commentaries, and of course, criticisms of the way the US articulates what is important and relevant in today's society

Last Week Tonight may not feel especially new, but it was mostly smart and repeatedly funny, and that is plenty.
March 15, 2018
Is Last Week Tonight a news program or a satire of a news program? Right now, we're a little confused, but regardless of labels, the show stands out as an interesting addition to late night.
March 15, 2018
The fact that so much of the show relies on Oliver means he bears the burden of getting the tone exactly right. And right now, he's a little more angry than funny.
March 15, 2018
[John] Oliver himself is always worth watching, and there's every reason to think he'll become more inventive as the series goes on.
