Jimmy Carr: His Dark Material

This was partly funny but sadly it seems that Jimmy is getting old and scared of being cancelled. He can still joke about pedophiles but not about BLM. He is playing it safe throughout. His Covid-19 rant was a bit pathetic. He used to be edgy but that is now just ancient history.

Love him. Hated the constant flicking over of camera angles and shots. I found it really distracting. Some repeated Jokes but they all do that I think. Just over produced.. like they were trying to hard.

It's hilarious after you watch this special that will be the first thing that comes to your mind. These one star reviews were literally his point about people who get offended at everything and go on the attack. This show was nothing short of brilliant, original and very funny. But if you're, as Jimmy would say, "fine China" and easily offended then skip this one. It's definitely not for weak people. Which is what makes it so refreshing, the humor is hardcore but very funny. Bravo, Mr. Carr.

There are basically three groups of reviews of this show: people who like Jimmy for his offensive material and therefore think he can do no wrong (and any criticism is invalid). People who find his material beyond-the-pale offensive and hate him. I'm in the third category. I'm a big fan and have watched all of his standup shows many times. His first Netflix special was great, although I had a vague feeling at times that I'd heard some of the material before. His second Netflix special -- the "greatest hits" show -- was by definition disappointing if you already knew his material. So I had great hopes for this show, which I expected to be all new. And although he does hit the mark occasionally, you can kind of guess where he's going all the time. He's still a fantastic performer, but there's definitely less of the sharp wordplay that was a big part of his fame.

Simple as, if you're a fan of Jimmy you need to see this, just try not to get too distracted by his amazing new hairline lol.

Probably up there as one of his best but he's always been constant and a lot of laugh out loud moments here.

Don't watch if you're easily offended, THIS IS NOT YOUR SAFE SPACE!
