After riffing on a dysfunctional Heaven-set workplace, medieval times, and the Old West, Miracle Workers' fourth season tackles the apocalypse. rendy_jones has more:
Right when there’s an apocalypse on absurdist comedy television under the Warner Bros. Discovery company-owned platform Max, with shows such asending, on top of the ongoing WGA strike in Hollywood, it’s refreshing—no—a Godsend that Simon Rich’s TBS anthology seriesis still one of the remaining surrealist comedies out there. Following the Warner Bros.
This iteration’s emotional core lies within Radcliffe and Viswanathan’s rom-com chemistry as the warrior newlyweds slowly assimilate into suburban life, and they work wonders. With all the pounds of armor, black eyeliner, and gear they wear, they derive great comedy through their situational marital banter that perfectly satirizes the bourgeois lifestyle. By now, their on-screen combo is as effortless as stepping into comfy old shoes.
Also, notable performances are found in Jon Bass as human-pet Scraps as he steals the show every second he’s on screen. Scraps’ tendency towards the dog half of his war dog persona results in hilarious canine-centric gags—thankfully no potty humor, too—that are so goofy. Yet Bass is so game and makes all the ridiculous material provided work. His happy-go-lucky smile garners so many laughs amid the chaos he spurs.
The upcoming “MatriXXX” episode—in which Freya and Sid ask TI-90 to help them reclaim their lost sexual spark while Junkman goes to a high school reunion with a bunch of his old classmates who are all skeletons—is full of enough ridiculous raunchy humor and visuals that approach. Only a show as frivolous as this has the power to make moments like Steve Buscumi getting it on with a skeleton or Daniel Radcliffe dirty talking a boulder some of the funniest offerings on TV today.
