The Pentaverate

Into the third episode and it's a bit hit and miss if I'm being honest. But, as an Austin Powers fan I'm going to keep watching as when it is funny, it is actually very sharp and clever.

The Netflix censored pool hall scene was sheer genius. I can't even begin to imagine how the dialogue was so cleverly pieced together to make the joke work the way it did.

Also, did anyone else get "The Prisoner" vibes or was it just me?

Stupid jokes and fun comedy. The story is good enough to keep you watching and some of the scenes are actually hilarious. It's certainly not for everyone but if you enjoy silly things, toilet/sex humor once in a while this is great fun and a nice way to pass the time.

I spent the first few episodes thinking... this style of comedy was done and finished.

Yet I kept watching.....

By the midpoint, I was chuckling away at silly "old school" toilet humour.

I remembered how not to take everything so seriously.

By the end, I was laughing out loud at the randomness of cliches and stupid jokes while noticing that Mike Myers sparked the way for the Coen Brothers and Wes Anderson.

To be fair, it's not brilliant, but hey, neither are you.

I'm expecting the reviews to be 1-3s or 7-9s. There will be two clear groups: you'll love it if you miss Austin Powers / Wayne's World humour with minimal evolution since that time, you'll hate it if you are expecting something fresh and new. It's as simple as that :).

Cons: it's juvenile, predictable, unchallenging base humour Pros: it's juvenile, predictable, unchallenging base humour !!

Party on Austin!

All the low scores are part of a conspiracy to stop people from watching and learning the truth .

This show works in so many levels most people won't understand it may require multiple views and a deep dive into the esoteric .
