Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of Jim and his inappropriate humour, but this show is pretty bad. The first episode was good and I got a few laughs, but it has gone down hill over the past 5 weeks. The most recent episode made me consider if it is worth persisting any further.Probably the most annoying part of the show is the fact that he bangs on over and over and Trump. We get it, you don't like Trump - but you are starting to sound like a broken record now!! At least he did pick on an Aussie politician in one episode so I will credit him that.And what is with the camera shot and the viewing screen in the left hand corner that stay still whilst everything else moves?? Budget constraints? That needs to be fixed, it's annoying.All in all if this show continues down the same path I would not lose any sleep if it got canned.

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.

I give this show a 09 out of 10. The reason is because it blends real hard hitting, important, recent and at times controversial news stories with Jim's AMAZING witty and sarcastic humor. He also, makes the news understandable and able to be listened too by people that normally cannot stand listening to the regular news because it can be very boring. Jim isn't afraid of the hot button things to talk about either and I LOVE that!! He is new to this hosting thing and I am sure he will settle in AMAZINGLY after a few episodes. You could tell he was nervous on the pilot episode. He clearly cares about the USA ad all of us in it clearly. I couldn't give it a hard 10 yet because the topics he discusses in certain episodes just need more time and aren't able to be properly untangled within the time he is given. I would love to see an entire hour of this show instead of 30 minutes. I don't want to write this too long because people will lose interest and stop reading. So I will close with the fact that this is an AMAZING SHOW AND I LOVE IT VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
