Netflix has released Tom Seguraâs first foray into sketch comedy, and it has already left fans chomping at the bit for more.
Titled Bad Thoughts, the six-episode dark comedy sees Segura, 46, navigate âunthinkable situations and fantasies within a cinematic world,â per an official logline.
In promotional interviews, the comedian likened it to a âdark, comedic version of Black Mirror.â
The series features an array of guest performers, including The Sopranos star Robert Iler, Cowboy Bebopâs Daniella Pineda, and Broad Cityâs Arturo Castro.
Segura takes on many different roles across the series, including an incompetent assassin, a country singer who kidnaps his fans to exploit them for music inspiration, and a difficult coffee shop customer.
Released on Tuesday, Bad Thoughts has become a major hit with viewers, who are begging Netflix for a second season.
'Bad Thoughts' marks Tom Segura's first comedy sketch show (Netflix )âThis show is hilarious,â one commented on X, with a second pleading: âI have way more Bad Thoughts now. @netflix I need a season two ASAP as possible.â
âIâve never laughed so hard in my life. You are a diabolical sick f***,â a third wrote.
âWe need more of these immediately,â a fourth demanded. âAbsolutely hilarious!â
âJust got done watching. That s*** was freaking gold!â a fifth applauded, with another agreeing: âBest content in forever,â
âI made it 8 minutes into the first episode and was crying. Great work,â one added.
Ahead of its debut, Netflix released an additional promotional clip of Seguraâs mother reviewing the new series.
In the footage, the stand-up comic sets his mother up in an office screening room, where he can watch her reaction through a two-way mirror. Handing her a remote, he tells her to press certain buttons throughout the viewing depending on whether she likes the scene, dislikes it, or would turn it off.

âAnd Iâm gonna be honest, no?â she asks, with Segura responding: âCompletely honest.â
Following the screening, the comic enters the room to hear his momâs initial thoughts.
âItâs an insult to humanity,â she tells him honestly. âYou can be a good comedian without being that disgusting.â
She quips: âI cannot tell people that this is my son. You know what, youâre an orphan.â
Segura further shares that âthese stories and about 10 more come out in a few weeks.â
âAre you totally serious?â his mother asks, as Segura replies: âTotally serious.â
âAre you out of your mind?â she retorts, to which Segura laughs: âWell, thatâs kind of the idea.â
Bad Thoughts is streaming now on Netflix.
