Tim Dillon: This Is Your Country

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.

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!

If you're a kid of the 90's and remember staying home sick to watch Jerry Springer, Maury Povich, or Steve Wilkos while your parents were at work, this is the show for you. Reminds you of everything that was good about those shows without the constraints of cable television. This should be a weekly show for all the "sick" kids and filthy pigs. Netflix should do the right thing and give this show a full season! Tim Dillon has the ability to make these wild situations better with his quick wit and sharp tongue. It's everything that is great and dispicable about America rolled into one hilariously raunchy special.

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.

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.
