In a lot of ways, the show is a workplace comedy with a lot of gender politics mixed in. If you look at it like that, and appreciate Silverman’s performance as Candy for the low-key seethe it is, Santa Inc. becomes enjoyable. Read full review

Nothing in four episodes of Santa Inc. shocked me in the slightest or even felt all that edgy — not in a world already saturated with South Park and Robot Chicken permutations and knock-offs. Heck, nothing here felt as weird as Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey. Still, Santa Inc. works on some traditional levels, especially when it comes to its ensemble. Read full review

[Silverman's Candy Smalls'] ambition is winsome and is a rare aspect of the show that feels properly pitched at a grown-up audience without losing balance. Elsewhere, though, the show’s attempted witty touches — making the reindeer, for instance, methamphetamine addicts in order to explain how they travel the globe so rapidly — tend toward the miscalibrated. When the show displays a visual wit or a loopy joy with wordplay, it makes it feel all the more like a waste of energy. Read full review

This is one of the biggest pieces of garbage I have ever seen.
Literally nothing about the show is funny, there is no theme of Christmas resolves all, or hope, or positive change.
And even if you could forgive all of that from a "holiday show" it is absolutely terrible with no comedicThis is one of the biggest pieces of garbage I have ever seen.
Literally nothing about the show is funny, there is no theme of Christmas resolves all, or hope, or positive change.
And even if you could forgive all of that from a "holiday show" it is absolutely terrible with no comedic value.
Everyone in the show is on drugs or vulgar with no comedic value, or completely over sexualized for no comedic value.
The fact this was green lit and actually saw through production is an embarrassment.
Whatever HBO exec this is on should be fired.
All of the trash could be forgiven if it was even the tiniest bit funny, which it never is from beginning to end. Seth Rogen needs to just stop, he obviously doesn't have it anymore or never did and was bailed out by the other talent/writers.… Expand
