There are plenty of well-written lines and strong wordlplay to keep the viewer entertained. The subjects he discusses are sometimes more personal than his previous shows, but where he normally has the ability of making the personal universal, he gets a bit self-indulgent at points and I couldn't relate to some of his material at all. The segues are a little clunky and he jumps from musings on sex, to the royal family, to LA gurus, without much grace. While interesting, it comes across as a little incoherent and lacking in thematic reinforcement, which was a strong point in his other shows. It is loosely framed by his relationship with his father, but this doesn't really go anywhere interesting. At least there are jokes - which is not to be underestimated. It sags in the middle where he gets a bit derailed by his own opinions and there are various takes on religion/mysticism which feel undercooked, but just as he starts to get preachy, he resolves the bit with a decent punchline or skit. Then it fizzles out towards the end. So it's a bit all over the place and he's capable of much more refinement, but it's certainly not terrible or boring. It's a decent show, but I think I was expecting a more mature product from a seasoned comedian.

Laughed out loud a lot! Simon is witty and clever with his humour and I enjoyed his openness and vulnerability :)

This guy is new to me (as are lots of things), but after 10 minutes, I haven't laughed once, and I do appreciate British humor - when it's presented. Truly do feel as if this pinched faced fella is using the stage as an hour long therapy session. He should have kept it to himself. Had I been in the audience, I would have asked for my money back. Am not sure why I gave him 2 stars, except I just ate a macadamia nut and white chocolate chip cookie so I'm feeling generous.

I have seen all of Simon Amstells shows live and honestly I went for the comedy to just laugh and enjoy myself for an hour but his stories about just living life as best you can and being in the moment without expectations and anxiety are quite uplifting and thought provoking while his problems and depression made things in his life difficult and complicated at times he kept on trying to experience new things and not be held back by them and while some jokes can come across as dark or depressing they are funny because they are real and something we all feel at some point in our lifes the bad thoughts the good thoughts we all have them and Simon shares his thoughts and stories on stage to make us laugh and think.

Not hilarious kind of stand up but some parts are funny especially ones dealing with misogyny and 'life' in a dull, morose satirical kind of way. Mostly his self stories dealing with homosexuality, drugs, father's apathy and love in general.

I am a little saddened and yet not surprised to see lower reviews than I believe this deserves. He addresses topics that are likely taboo to some, which I assume is the motivation for the low ratings. I absolutely adored it. He has such a sweet and calming presence, and lovely delivery. He gets right to the meat of the matter regarding consciousness and offers solid and compassionate interpretations of the roots of homophobia. Then he brings in the subject of mind altering substances, which was a major delight for me to see in the midst of our current psychedelic renaissance. I am so inspired and delighted that this is a prominent offering on Netflix.

It's more wholesome than shocking, more therapy than comedy and really more like listening to that one friend we all have that has had two beers too many and is sharing more than you like him to. It wasn't bad, just a tad tame.

Didn't know I was a Simon Amstell fan till watching this. He seems to see the world much like I do. Not the snarky host of Never Mind the Buzzcocks I'd been used to in the past. As irreverent as usual but with a deeper self awareness as he opens up about his life.
