Tim Dillon: This Is Your Country

No clue how this is so highly rated. I thought it was going to be some type of comedy show. It's just scripted trash "reality" TV. I thought I was watching Jerry Springer again or something equally stupid and mind numbing. This is billed as a "Comedy, Talk Show". Yeah it is neither a decent talk show or funny in any way shape or form. The subject matter is rediculous and obviously scripted. It has all the usual elements of the 90's trash TV talk shows like Jerry Springer, Ricki Lake and the like. What a waste of 47min of my life. I kept watching hoping it would get better and it never did. What a waste of time.

This special was absolutely hysterical! For those who may not know, Tim Dillon is a professional comedian that has a very successful podcast where he gives sarcastic and absurdist takes on politics and pop culture. By taking the skills he has honed on his podcast and fusing them with a genre of television that already skews to the absurd, Dillon has created a monster hit. The structure of the show is set up similar to Maury, with multiple segments of people with various problems hashing them out with their loved ones in front of us. However, in This Is Your Country, the jokes start flying right away. Between the on-stage drama, Dillon's commentary, audience participation, and the hilariously crafted on-screen graphics there's hardly a moment to catch your breath between the laughs. I won't spoil any of the specifics, you'll just have to tune in yourself to experience what your country has become.

Netflix, if you're reading this, let Tim make more of these!

This man is an absolute comedy god. I have been a fan of Tim for a while now, and was incredibly excited when he announced this show coming out. Once i saw the trailer, I was more hyped for this than i have been for anything in a while. It was an absolute blast, I think Tim is really in his element in this talk show style, and I pray to RFK that he continues making stuff of this nature. The podcast is great, patreon is awesome, I'm going to see him live next month and I'm sure that will be divine, but THIS RIGHT HERE? Absolute GOLD. Please netflix gods, keep this show going! Tim absolutely killed it, hilarious commentary on the state of the union, and I am grateful for him reviving this dead genre of TV. It's very much needed and I think this is brilliant, and could continue to be absolutely amazing if renewed. Keep er comin; Tim!

From start to finish I was in tears, I'm a New Zealander and have been listening to Tim Dillon's podcast for the last three years and when I heard he had a show coming to Netflix I was more than excited! Tim absolutely kills the crowd work and has a special talent of making jokes off the top of his dome. The only downside to this special I could say is it was too short, I feel an hour 30 mins would of been great I felt I was just wanting more but apart from that it was an absolute blast from start to finish. Conclusion tim Dillon being Tim Dillon is all you need Netflix, let him have as many specials and shows as he wants to make!

I'm a big Dillon fan, and I was excited for this one. It certainly was not disappointing as it had some great moments (especially Tim's crowd work). However, something about the premise was a bit off for me. It's not a traditional special, more so a 90s dystopian talk show hybrid. Incredible idea! Unfortunately for me, the entire thing felt rushed. I think this would have been incredible in long form with multiple episodes to really let things play out. Thanks for dropping the ball on that one Netflix!

Overall, definitely worth a watch. Tim is one of the funniest people on the planet. It's just a shame Netflix didn't commit to this one more.
