I get it, we want to support our people but we gotta be real and call a spade a spade. This show was WEEEEAK. It felt too forced. Like teens at a school assembly making jokes before the teachers gained control. The most I did was giggle but not LOL like with the podcast/show . Hopefully there's a better "edit" coming to the 85 app for their fans since some of the comments online is "they edited out a lot of the good stuff to please Netflix". And to that claim I'm calling BS because either way you slice it the band was the best part, the raps were ok, but the jokes were old and the show had no organization. Some parts felt too long and just cringe over all considering I've seen all 3 of the guys do better on wild n out. Congrats to them for getting the Netflix bag and reaching a new audience but don't expect too much going into it.

Netflix Shame On You This Show is AWFUL
kristydianarays19 October 2023
Why Netflix would allow this show to apart of their illustrious selection of shows I will never know. This has got to be the worst stand-up comedy show ever. It's called 85 South it doesn't even deserve a street corner venue nevertheless a Netflix special or tour. The show feels thrown together without a concept nor script which would have been fine if they were funny jokes off the cuff and they deserve to be in handcuffs because their lack of funny is truly an arrestable offense full of nonsense. They insult their guests appearance not funny just lame. Their bags on each other were trash just pure garbage out for trash day.
Wasn't sure what to expect....

This was a vapid attempt at comedy. I am a fan from Wild n' Out but very disappointed that this translated into such a boring seemingly unrehearsed, unstructured nothingness. This is just three guys having a very empty conversation about nothing funny. It didn't flow. It had no substance. It was painful. I wanted it to be good but it was absolutely hard to watch and sadly BORING. DC Is talented and usually funny so is Chico and the other guy but this just didn't qualify as a show. I am surprised Netflix saw this and decided to add it to the catalog. It was just pointless. The random musical performance and the fact that it just went nowhere in the concept or execution = zero stars.

I thoroughly enjoyed the 85 South Show Netflix special. Those guys really did their thing. They were quick on their feet interacted with the audience and had everyone laughing. Just wish it was longer. The guys were their usual selves bantering back and forth. I especially like the part about DC having a grand brother. For the show to be unscripted is amazing. I did need more of them interacting with the audience. They are totally independent and to think they have come this far. We are looking at the next generation Kings Of Comedy. I also had hoped they would do some individual stand up. Overall the show was a success for me.
