The Fix

Right so I was bored on a Saturday night with nothing to do and I thought .. why not ? I blitzed through the whole series. D.L is so laid back that sometimes you're not sure he's awake and then BANG says something so funny it's worth him looking disinterested at times lol ! Katherine Ryan is so quick, witty, hilarious and always on message. Jimmys annoying laugh becomes bearable as he steers the ship into some very funny moments. . . BUT the best part is how they seem to be very conscious of keeping the panel diverse across gender and race. The guests are hilarious and the premise is is perfect. Well done.

Right-wing Americans will hate this show, just look at the votes already. Left-wings might think it's bizarre. Touchy and "trendy" people would go "what did they just say???" While I feel more like a realist, this just gets up as the "about time this gets to be nailed and joked about!" Worth watching indeed! Please let us have more in the future!

I like Jimmy Carr. Yes, it's toned down compared to his usual stand-up, but I thought this was really funny. Hopefully more to come. As for the person who wrote this was like QI - they've obviously never seen it.

So I'm from US and have never watched a "UK panel show" that people refer to, but this seems like one. Carr is "The Host" but he really just banters with people, it's not like he judges contests or anything.

Carr is funny but in an odd British way that takes some getting used to. He has an interesting chemistry with Katherine Ryan, like they might be friends IRL, that they should do more with. The Mrs took an instant dislike to Katherine, but I think it's the role she's playing.

DL Hughley is phoning it in big time, and he looks like he is super high the entire time. He has some funny bits here and there but mostly seems out of place.

The guest stars are hit or miss. Some are great, others are...ok. Haven't seen any truly awful ones yet but only 1/2 way through the season.

This show alternates between being hysterical and slightly amusing.

The show feels shorter than it's 30 minutes. I think they spend too much time chit chatting and joking in general before they get to the main topic. I think they can do a little fine tuning and get it down. The "data lady" Mona Chalabi does present some actual facts to counterbalance the yuk yuk's.... but someone needs to dress her better. Her outfits are a bit wacky and out of place.

There is some cussing/foul language but I don't think it's over the top. I don't think I've heard too many F bombs.

Overall it's funny and different... kind of reminds me of a funnier Politically Incorrect (the old ones anyway) but with comedians.

Hey Netflix - are you reading this? You need to give Nicole Byer her own show STAT. She's a guest star on a couple of these and SHE IS HILARIOUS.

Watch it. Have a cocktail or 4. It's funny.

This is a UK style panel show, targeted at the US audiences, viewable worldwide on Netflix.

It covers topics such as gun control, drug taking and global warming, which are very touchy subjects in the US, so I imagine those are the reasons this show is getting bad reviews on this site. It mocks them, insults gun owners and global warming deniers. It highlights racial and sexist discrimination and makes jokes that will offend many strict opinionated people.

However it does this while not swearing, and while it does have many sexual references, it is edited to not go too far.

This is a stand-up comedy show with five comedians. All five are on one side of the argument (against) and so if you are expecting a discussion, this is not the show for that. It is about trying to make you laugh, and in that, they succeed.

However anyone with the opposite opinion to there's, will probably be more angry and amused.

For UK audiences this is a GREAT show. For American audiences, this is still a great show but they need to be able to laugh at their own society. We Brits are use to self-mocking, which happens a lot in this show. So most Americans will probably hate it. Canadians will love it though!
