Tim Dillon: This Is Your Country

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!

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!

This was great, yes or yes?

Tim Dillon is a sharp shooter and this show is deeply nihilistic, yet deeply human at the same time, an homage to the 90s tv shows exposing people's dirty little secrets.

I'm torn between wanting more and being afraid of feeling exceedingly dirty watching it for longer, so I'd say the editing is on point, and we can see as credits roll that they shot much more.

I hope Tim drops some weight so we can enjoy his shenanigans for many decades, his tongue is sharp and he's probably in my top 3 comedians right now.

He does fake business, now a fake tv show.

Life in the big city.

I loved these shows in the 90's and this one has it all: drama, shock, laughter and... heart? It has all of the fun of the originals (Jerry Springer, Sally Jesse Raphael, Oprah Winfrey, Rikki Lake) but it isn't quite as mean as they could often be. 'This is Your Country' feels both nostalgic and fresh. I really hope to see more episodes! Lets have a full season next Netflix! I would also love a segment that follows up on all of the guests after some time has passed.

Tim Dillon is a great host! He keeps it all moving and has great timing with his jokes. Tim is able to hit that sweet spot that is just cheesy and corny enough to still be funny.

You have to watch this! Dont hesitate!

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.
