[7.4/10] I gotta admit, as shocking as it is to see some of the on-screen sexual harassment on International Women's Day, the opening round-up was more of a "point and laugh" kind of bit than the show adding much of its usual insight. That said, the tack toward absurdity the show took about the CNBC guy talking about The Bachelor was a hoot.
And I liked the main story, about cryptocurrencies, a good amount. It's an area where I knew the basics but not the details, and Oliver & Co. did a good job of laying everything out while mixing in their usual spotlight on the weirder and/or sillier parts of the topics they cover. The general thesis -- that cryptocurrencies could be big or could crash and burn, so you should be cautious while they're in their infancy -- is a strong one that made for a good segment.
Overall, a good meat and potatoes episode that was informative for me on a topic I only new the basic outline of.
