The Fix

Right so I was bored on a Saturday night with nothing to do and I thought .. why not ? I blitzed through the whole series. D.L is so laid back that sometimes you're not sure he's awake and then BANG says something so funny it's worth him looking disinterested at times lol ! Katherine Ryan is so quick, witty, hilarious and always on message. Jimmys annoying laugh becomes bearable as he steers the ship into some very funny moments. . . BUT the best part is how they seem to be very conscious of keeping the panel diverse across gender and race. The guests are hilarious and the premise is is perfect. Well done.

This was one of the funniest shows I've seen in a long time. I laughed out loud multiple times per episode. I binged it in one night. It only loses a star because of Jimmy Carr's nails on chalkboard laugh. Luckily it's infrequent (but the first episode had me worried.)

So I'm from US and have never watched a "UK panel show" that people refer to, but this seems like one. Carr is "The Host" but he really just banters with people, it's not like he judges contests or anything.

Carr is funny but in an odd British way that takes some getting used to. He has an interesting chemistry with Katherine Ryan, like they might be friends IRL, that they should do more with. The Mrs took an instant dislike to Katherine, but I think it's the role she's playing.

DL Hughley is phoning it in big time, and he looks like he is super high the entire time. He has some funny bits here and there but mostly seems out of place.

The guest stars are hit or miss. Some are great, others are...ok. Haven't seen any truly awful ones yet but only 1/2 way through the season.

This show alternates between being hysterical and slightly amusing.

The show feels shorter than it's 30 minutes. I think they spend too much time chit chatting and joking in general before they get to the main topic. I think they can do a little fine tuning and get it down. The "data lady" Mona Chalabi does present some actual facts to counterbalance the yuk yuk's.... but someone needs to dress her better. Her outfits are a bit wacky and out of place.

There is some cussing/foul language but I don't think it's over the top. I don't think I've heard too many F bombs.

Overall it's funny and different... kind of reminds me of a funnier Politically Incorrect (the old ones anyway) but with comedians.

Hey Netflix - are you reading this? You need to give Nicole Byer her own show STAT. She's a guest star on a couple of these and SHE IS HILARIOUS.

Watch it. Have a cocktail or 4. It's funny.

The Fix is great! The topics discussed are real and current issues and the ridiculous fixes are hilarious. I haven't seen any of the British shows mentioned, so I can't compare them to this one and ruin it. I don't find ruthlessness funny, so I prefer this "less edgy" Jimmy Carr. The comedians are funny and really playing into their stereotypes, which I love. I also love Mona's awkwardness. It's a perfect watch if you're not right wing and don't need mean jokes to have a chuckle.

My headline pretty much sums it up. I'm a fan of both Jimmy Carr and Katherine Ryan with D. L. Hughley being a new to me.

The concept of the show is discussion other social topics, amongst comedians in the industry with a comical conclusion at the end of the show. Episodes achieve varying results depending on which guest stars are on the show, leaving some funnier than others.

If you're wanting something easy to watch that's not to be taken too seriously - while talking about serious social topics then this is the cure for them days where you've worked an long shift at work and want to zone of of the worlds problems.. by hearing a spin on the worlds problems!
