Actor-comedian Vir Das made history in 2017 by becoming the first Indian comedian to have his own comedy series on Netflix, titled ‘Abroad Understanding.’ The series was released in April 2017 and received a phenomenal response, prompting Netflix to sign him on for another special in no time.
If we look at the global stage, the biggest actor-comedians have been on Netflix with their specials including Chris Rock, Kevin Hart, Any Schumer, Ali Wong among many others.
The short clip features a segment where Vir is addressing the global issue of harassment towards women and the common stereotype of saying “she was asking for it.” Using comedy, Vir makes a strong point about the issue of the mindset most people have.
Here is the trailer:
Vir Das, speaking about the show said, “Losing It has been written on the basis of my experiences of travel, politics amongst other things. I’m excited to see what the audience’s response is when it releases next week. I’m hoping it gets the same love the audience gave Abroad Understanding.”
Losing It is set to stream on Netflix across 190 countries on December 11.
It is a 2025 British crime drama following 13-year-old Jamie Miller, who is arrested for his classmate’s murder. Shot in single takes, the mini-series explores social media bullying.
