Some unique (Netflix Originals) programming, some classic TV shows and movies too. (2 more)
'My List' allows you to save shows and films to watch at a later stage.
Netflix are open to people sharing their accounts with others (within reason)
User interface is poor and sometimes you spend more time trying to find something to watch than you do actually watching something. (2 more)
A lot of the stand-up comedy is aimed at the USA audience which needs to be addressed as quite frankly the majority of them are just not funny!
Not on the same level as Sky when it comes to blockbuster movies.

This >> 𝘌π˜₯π˜₯π˜ͺ𝘦 π˜”π˜Άπ˜³π˜±π˜©π˜Ί: π˜‹π˜¦π˜­π˜ͺ𝘳π˜ͺ𝘰𝘢𝘴, the blue leather suit >> the red leather suit - however - the drunk father bit from π˜‹π˜¦π˜­π˜ͺ𝘳π˜ͺ𝘰𝘢𝘴 >> the drunk father bit from this (even if the toy factory stuff is still hilarious). One of the most optimized stand-up routines in all of comedy, tapers off a bit in the last half hour but otherwise most of this flows together perfectly - not a word wasted, not a word too heavy, not a word missing. A breathless, hysterical tirade of brute toxicity which many performers today try and fail to emulate with their "can't say ANYTHING these days amirite??" out-of-touch middle-aged man energy. A simple facet of comedy this exemplifies which the aforementioned curdled attempts at Reddit-tier provocation fail to realize is that you have to try to be funny first, *then* go for the offensive stuff. The crowdwork here is just insane, Murphy as a stage performer was unmatched in the 80s: the energy, the creativity, the gravitas, the sheer talent. Not only are his vocal impersonations on point as always, but so too are his physical ones - a simple change in glance and facial expression and you feel like you're *actually* watching that person until the real Eddie 'returns'. It's nuts. Then it's also got such infectious 80s flair and is one of the few stand-up movies where the skit stuff at the beginning is actually worthwhile (looking at you, π˜’π˜¦π˜·π˜ͺ𝘯 𝘏𝘒𝘳𝘡: 𝘞𝘩𝘒𝘡 π˜•π˜°π˜Έ?).

Jimmy Carr is funny but not as overly offensive as his stand up (3 more)
Most of the time the panelists can make you laugh without resorting to offensive mundane jokes
The Countdown aspect is a lot of fun to watch
Jon Richardson just rolls with the punches
I selfishly wish the episodes were longer (0 more)
Bloody Hilarious
I don't really know what to compare the show to.
It's a comedy show that takes on the aspects of the much beloved, but quite boring show 'Countdown'.

Everything about it works, in my opinion. It's light-hearted, there are various guests - many make multiple appearances, and the laughs are constant!

Humour is subjective, yes. But, I urge anyone to give it a go, you might just love it.
