“Kill Tony Fans React to Netflix Show ‘Kill Tony'”
The highly-anticipated first episode of Kill Tony on Netflix has finally premiered, but it seems even the most loyal fans were left feeling disappointed. When Tony Hinchcliffe, the controversial comedian known for his association with former President Trump, signed a lucrative four-special deal with Netflix, it seemed like a promising move for the streaming platform. However, as the show made its debut, it became clear that not everyone was impressed.
Many long-time fans of Kill Tony were upset by the decision to move the show behind a paywall on Netflix, especially after it had been available for free on YouTube for the past decade. The announcement video on the Kill Tony YouTube channel received over 13,000 dislikes in just 17 hours, indicating the backlash from fans who were not on board with the change.
For those who did have a Netflix subscription or were willing to pay for the show, the disappointment continued. Viewers took to social media to express their dissatisfaction with the episode, citing issues like production quality, dead air, and awkward celebrity guests who failed to bring the humor fans had come to expect.
While some fans defended the show, arguing that it has always had its ups and downs and that negative reactions were missing the point of Kill Tony, others were quick to call out specific guests, like Joe Rogan and Tom Segura, for their lackluster performances. Despite the mixed reviews, it’s clear that Hinchcliffe’s debut on Netflix did not meet the expectations of many Kill Tony fans.
