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.

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.

[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.
