    The gimmick gets old really quick. The show is a slog even at 30 mins long.

    Weirdly, for a show with such an awesome cast and with so much artistry, I'm not exactly sure who the target audience is for this. If you fall into the the small nugget of people who this appeals to, it's excellent. It embraces the absurdity of the situation, demonstrated perfectly by the "corn pudding" song, a hilarious romp, but also shows lots of heart and charm

    If it falls down anywhere, it perhaps makes the leads a little too accepting of the situation, but in the end it may be the better choice so that the show can actually be charming and not nightmarish. 4 episodes in it's a great show, and worth giving a chance for fans of pushing daisies or similar abserdist comedy.    … Expand

    The first two episodes are joyful and exciting. The music isn’t anything special, but it’s a winning concept and cast.

    An original and uplifting parody of musicals that even at 3 hours total viewing time still manages to be pretty repetative.

    “Schmigadoon!” is a hoot — an inventive and thoroughly enjoyable summer delight.

    The Joshs of the world will likely balk at the very idea of Schmigadoon! – after all, 2021 isn’t short of a musical (In The Heights, Dear Evan Hanson and West Side Story are just a handful of this year’s cinematic offerings). But for us Melissas, it’s an exuberant, escapist slice of heaven.

    The series perhaps inevitably drags in the middle, a little too self-satisfied with the premise and its cleverness in evoking the past.
