“Mr. Throwback” isn’t always smooth, and gets off to a bit of an awkward start in the first episode, but turns into an irreverent meta comedy that scores more three-pointers than bricks.
-
“Mr. Throwback” might not have the potential for a Hall of Fame run a la “The Office,” but it’s a quirky and cleverly offbeat entry in the mockumentary genre.
-
While Mr. Throwback falls short of those classics [The Office & Parks and Recreation], it is a warm, resonant, and funny show.
-
Does Mr. Throwback have the potential to fly off the rails? Absolutely. But the show’s creators have decided to keep the goings on relatively low-key, which actually makes the show funnier than it should be.
