After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Yazmin
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Dana
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I like this addition to the political comedy scene a lot, if you know Jefferies stand-up show, you will get a less krass approach to the topics he usually covers, but still with a lot of whit. Sometimes you really have to pay attention to get the whispered lines or remarks on the side, that give the Jefferies flavor to the show. This will not be for everyone, but I recommend everyone to watch this, because even if you do not agree on many levels, there is something to take away in every episode, sometimes it requires to read between the lines.

As an avid fan of Daily Show and Last Week Tonight I have long been waiting for a another show in the same league but with a different flavor of comedy, and an alternative perspective.Jim Jefferies delivers a witty but often deeply insightful look at news and world issues.

Jim Jefferies is one the funniest natural comedians currently out there and one of the few who tackles big issues in his own unique style. Though the first episode was still a little rough around the edges it was still funnier than anything fake Jimmy Fallon or Seth Meyers has ever done. Give Jim time- this show could be a hit.

I docked a point for the theme tune. The theme tune is simply forgettable generic shite. I mean, it's really bad, so much so it's worthy of mention. I'd happily hum them a tune down the phone that would be better than whatever they're currently using - for FREE!Besides the appalling theme tune, it's actually an entertaining show. You have to give it some leeway as it's new & will obviously take a season or 2 to work out the kinks, but fortunately they have a host funny enough to carry the load until that stage is reached.Jefferies is the gold nugget here & if they allow him the time & space to swim in this format he'll bring it home - so to speak. I basically mean that Jefferies is a comedic star & if they allow him the time to adapt to this format they'll have a winner on their hands. Out of all the pseudo current-affairs show hosts, Jefferies is by far the most naturally gifted comedian; just let the prick do his thing & DO NOT try & force him down some (PC) alleyway where his talent will be suffocated. Let the beast free & reap the rewards.*Maybe get rid of the desk & let Jim sit one on one with the camera/audience - give it a less formal feel. Jim is a naturally gifted stand-up, so let the show reflect that in its look/presentation. He doesn't have the academic background that the likes of Oliver & Stewart have which allows them to easily fit into that pseudo newsreader role. Jim needs to be allowed to play to his strengths & sat behind a desk in a suit isn't his bag.*UPDATE*It's 4 episodes in & now really starting to find its feet. Jefferies is starting to flow. I still think it could do with being less formal & I STILL F**KING HATE THE THEME TUNE! Nevertheless, overall the show is coming together nicely.I'd up my vote from 8 stars to 9 if they got rid of that F**king theme tune. Whomever came up with it needs a rusty spoon (that's been used by an AIDS ridden junkie to cook up with, then been doused in gonorrhoea discharge & shat on by a haemorrhoid suffer after a meal of beef vindaloo) shoved in their f**king eyeball.
