{television} da ali g show; season one (2003)

Hilarious British comedian and impersonator Sacha Baron Cohen crisscrosses the United States alternating among the three offbeat personalities he plays. Cohen becomes Ali G, the "hip hop journalist" who's really just a white wanna-be rapper; Borat, the gullible newsman from Kazakhstan; and Bruno, the homosexual Austrian fashion plate. Laugh while Ali G, Borat and Bruno discover America and interact with the locals.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: *** Sasha Baron Cohen is such a fool (in a good way). Ali G, to me, is an annoying character, but I enjoy him sometimes. I can see why the show didn't last that long though as the Ali G character can only be taken so far. The Bruno character doesn't have that much depth and, again, can only be taken so far. I really enjoy the Borat character more and I understand now why that character got Cohen a movie deal and not Ali G.
