Dave Chappelle's controversial special 'The Closer' gets high audience score on Rotten Tomatoes
Fox News
Dave Chappelle’s controversial new Netflix standup special “The Closer” has a very high audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes despite calls from activists to remove the piece of content from the streamer's library.
While much of the talk surrounding "The Closer" has to do with comments many have deemed to be transphobic, it seems hundreds of people have flocked to the popular film and TV critical aggregator to share their positive thoughts on the special. Currently, even amid the backlash, more than 1,000 ratings collected by the site have given it a 96% audience score.
It’s worth noting, though, that these numbers can often change as more reviews pour in over time. In addition, because the special appears on Netflix, none of the reviews are "verified" by the site, meaning that Rotten Tomatoes can’t verify that those posting have actually seen "The Closer."
