Depraved and unfunny throughout.

From the first episode, the utter amount of ranting filth is just far too much and none of it is really funny in any way. It's mostly nonsense with alot of adults swearing and yelling at each other and it just plain depraved and dumb. Just another show that replaces wit with shock value and immaturity. HARD PASS.

This title has:

Too much sex
Too much swearing

What's the Story?

Tim Robinson is a former SNL writer and featured performer who steps into the spotlight with his own sketch comedy show on Netflix called I THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE WITH TIM ROBINSON. Many of the classic SNL tropes appear here as well, including fake commercials, TV parodies, and workplace humor, while Robinson brings in guest stars from across the comedy world to star in their own sketches.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (2):
Kids say (4):

Robinson has one good trick that shows up in the majority of his sketches: Characters seem mundane, even kind of dopey, but get more and more outrageous and antisocial as the sketch goes on. Like many sketch writers who rely on making the audience uncomfortable to get laughs, he isn't always able to make the leap from conceptually funny to actual laugh-out-loud hilarious. So aside from a few standout jokes, I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson can be repetitive, which can feel like bullying viewers into submission rather than truly earning laughs.
