I've watched the previous two seasons of "Miracle Workers" and generally found them to be decent if slight times. Truth be told, I found this third season to be weaker than the earlier ones and unable to mine as much from its premise.
A small community, held together by Pastor Ezekiel Brown (Daniel Radcliffe), decide that their future lies in Oregon. They secure the services of a brutal outlaw, Benny The Teen (Steve Buscemi) to guide them on their perilous journey. But Benny brings two problems of his own. Firstly, he's being trailed by a bounty hunter (Karan Soni) and secondarily, his daughter Trig (Quinta Brunson) who is trying to establish her credentials and come out from the shadow of her infamous father.
I think I might have said virtually all I had to say in the opening paragraph. Taking its premise from the famous game (and, I suppose, the actual trek that explorers took) unfortunately doesn't seem to have has many veins of comedy to mine as the previous ones did. I'd also assume that Covid restrictions meant that the guest stars, so prevalent especially in season two, weren't really possible for this one. Even Lolly Adefope was unable to return and, presumably, play the role that Quinta Brunson takes.
It's just not funny enough this time and it became a bit of a struggle to get through it. I'd imagine I'll still be back for season four, but unless there's a marked up take in quality, perhaps we've had all were going to get from this series.
