If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Scissor Seven is available in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix right now. Across 5 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. Its 9/10 TMDB score, built from 776 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Xiaofeng He sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Available now on Netflix — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason Scissor Seven keeps coming up in conversation. Scissor Seven gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Seeking to recover his memory, a scissor-wielding, hairdressing, bungling quasi-assassin stumbles into a struggle for power among feuding factions. Between them, Xiaofeng He and Duan Yixuan carry the comedy without ever forcing it. The series ran for 5 seasons (2018–2024), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The timing in Scissor Seven is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. Every minute repays the time invested, and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Scissor Seven is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. The tonal similarities to Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake are real, though Scissor Seven carves out its own identity quickly. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Xiaofeng He's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.

Scissor Seven wrapped up in 2024, created by and starring Xiaofeng He — and 5 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
