    There are ghosts of the original there, but nowhere near the spirit. I was looking forward to this and thought it would work as a sketch comedy series, but honestly, I found it boring and stupid for the most part. Shame as who knows if Mel Brooks has any more movies in him. I'd hate for this to be the legacy.

    An all-star cast joins Mel Brooks for History of the World, Part II, a Hulu series sequel to his 1981 film that mashes up comedic styles and world events to hilarious effect – even if some jokes go on a bit too long.

    The results are so dismal, they make one pine for the end of civilization. ... Taika Waititi, Seth Rogen, and a handful of additional notable stars pop up to no avail, thanks to writing that seems to have been completed mere seconds before the cameras rolled.

    The show squeaks by, barely, though this is one of those exercises where a little fast-forwarding through “History” couldn’t hurt.
