The Netflix series is the perfect mix of messed-up and hilarious. While not every sketch will kill, there are more than enough big laughs and moments of sheer, depraved creativity that only Segura is capable of pulling off.
Bad Thoughts’ entire raison d’être is pushing past the boundaries of good taste, in hopes of provoking delighted horror or disgust. How successful you think Segura is at it, and whether you think it’s a worthy goal to begin with, is a matter of personal sensibility. I will say this: You can’t accuse the guy of not committing to a bit.

Good on Netflix for making a sketch a sketch series that's raunchy and fun. It was also very well filmed. Overall a great watch.

It’s a game of gross-out comedy chicken that asks, “You think this is gross? You’re not ready for what’s next.” And again, while that fearlessness is admirable, it’s not always funny. As inventive as it can be, Bad Thoughts falters in terms of pacing more than I Think You Should Leave or other sketch greats like Chappelle’s Show and Key & Peele. That said, this feels like something that could easily be refined in a second season.
While blissfully short, feels like his id on pure display: Shock humor taken to new extremes, but in the wrong, dumber direction.
His thoughts are shallow and ugly. Sometimes they’re afterthoughts. The second episode devotes a full parody to Steven Seagal. It’s neither nostalgic nor revealing.
It is a lot, lol. It's extremely gross, but honestly, the production values and just Tom's charisma pull it through in most cases. I was honestly overjoyed to see AJ Soprano in this. He's a great actor and I'd love to see him in more stuff. I haven't seen them all yet, but none of the one's I've seen have been clickbait - they're what you'd expect if someone let Tom Segura loose with his own, gross show.
Side Note: Decider - why did you even watch this, lol. Obviously you went in trying to find some deep meaning to these (especially Segal). It shows you don't now Segura's comedy, or comedy in general, and aren't the types for gross-out humor. It's not my preference either, but I also don't go looking for it per se. Tom Segura is an exception because he has such outstanding stand-up out there, I think he's owed this by Netflix. Stick to movies with subtitles.

Netflix is on a roll...I mean that in a bad way. They literally are spewing money in all sorts of directions and missing most of the time lately. This show, if that's what it is, isn't funny. Perhaps he forced his own writing here since Netflix threw money at him and he needed to come up with something but this aint it.

Low effort and not funny. Feels like Ai wrote the script, trying too hard to be "vulgar" for the sake of it. It doesn't even succeed as coming across as vulgar; it's just boring.
