    Toward the end of the series, Myers tries to make some point about the internet, truth and the death of journalism, but it all just gets lost in the “technicolor yawn” of a vomit joke. ... It’s clear that this television show is actually just an overlong movie chopped into six pieces.

    A tiresome compendium of half-formed characters, weak social commentary and so many groan-worthy penis and poop jokes that it’s difficult to believe the headliner was once Hollywood’s top funnyman. ... You’ve got a slog that, no matter its brief runtime, wildly overstays its welcome.

    We don’t expect The Pentaverate to get much funnier as the season goes along. And the longer we watch, we think the more painfully unfunny most of the gags are going to get.

    The Pentaverate is a cavalcade of toilet humour that deserves nothing more than to be flushed away. Groovy, baby. Not.

    I found it to be quite comcial and love the return of Mike Myers. Critics seem to hate it because made fun of Davlos and elitist.
