Hannah Gadsby's "Nanette" is described as a biting social satire painted with the glossy finish of a Netflix comedy special", and also the "first truly post-MeToo comedy special". We dissect why the world is talking about this 40-year-old Tasmanian comic's powerful show, which probes the dark side of self-deprecating humor, while making the audience confront some harsh truths.
