Nope. Just nope. Look. I have always been a fan of Mike Myers but this show is so extremely bad in every way. I'm pretty sure it was only made because Myers couldn't get work anywhere else and somehow convinced people to pick up his seriesNope. Just nope. Look. I have always been a fan of Mike Myers but this show is so extremely bad in every way. I'm pretty sure it was only made because Myers couldn't get work anywhere else and somehow convinced people to pick up his series where he plays 90% of the characters... Badly.… Expand

Typical racist show of netflix who spits on white men. The last episode is the perfect example. Mike Myers and Sacha Baron Cochen sold their talent 20 years ago. They are now selling their souls to the most profitable ideology of the moment.Typical racist show of netflix who spits on white men. The last episode is the perfect example.

Then once you are invested, some creepy lefty political commentary starts to worm its way through it. Some veiled impersonation of Alex Jones thrown in that wasn't really spot on at all but Alex can take a little ribbing I'm sure but it wasn't very accurate at all in lampooning him which means that gag fall flat for those who are even slightly familiar with him. Anyhoo I could let that slide for the sake of continuing with the narrative. Then there was the conspiracy theorist ,"friend" who has a striking resemblance to Bruno Gerussi from "The Beachcombers" who only serves to have some woke child character giving him a lesson about how wrong he is. I became frustrated when they introduce all of these fascinating characters, one in particular played by non other than the great Jennifer Saunders, only to kill them all of almost as quickly as they appear. Grrrrr!!!
There were some absolutely hilarious scenes that were trademark Mike Myers to enjoy throughout.
Now we get to the conclusion, which was the most pathetic and lazy ending that I have yet to have seen. It is even stupid, meaningless and self defeating. It was a lecture by yet the same ignorant woke extreme lefty CHILD that claimed to be the thread that wove it's way through the whole escapade. So no gratifying reveal after dutifully watching every episode.. nope, it was a BAIT AND SWITCH ENDING that left me screaming and swearing at the TV screen. I felt completely deceived, duped and insulted by the terrible ending. To Mike Myers credit, I suspect that some Netflix phoque took control of this project away from him. P.S.
I am sick and tired of Hollywoods persistant and dated imitation of who Canadians are and how we talk!!! It is not true! Just like all gays are NOT big superficial effeminate queens who are obsessed with Marylin Monroe and frigging show tunes!… Expand

A Canadian journalist (also played by Meyers) finds himself trying to expose the truth. Meyers plays a total 7 characters. The first ep roars out of the gate with non-stop zany comedy. Unfortunately, the subsequent chapters become more about Meyers doing his characters, none of whom are especially amusing. There are plenty of smart cultural references, including some enjoyable guest stars like Rob Lowe, Maria Menounos and a heavily-disguised Jennifer Saunders (I only recognized her from her voice). Even the title sequence voiced by Jeremy Irons goes meta (and can't be skipped). There are funny moments and a few surprises sprinkled throughout, but Meyers' self-indulgence gets in the way of creating his next great franchise.(Six 30-minute episodes) [usr =2.5]… Expand

Full of deep thought and intelligent references, a showcase of Myer's character actor ability. A sublime satire of secret societies and conspiracies that would make Robert Anton Wilson smile in his grave.

If you are an Austin Powers fan or have a general appreciation of Mike Myers, then this show is a MUST.
I can see how it might not be for everyone, but if this type of humour resonates with you, then you will absolutely love it like I do.

First episode until you get caught on was a bit meh, but afterwards it got better. I like Mike Myers type of comedy, even though often very silly and cheesy, so I enjoyed it. If you do not like his kind of jokes, then doubt this will change it.

I see that the critic reviews are low. But I just watched the first episode and it was very funny. Myers plays a lot of characters that are all hilarious and the other actors and production effects are great.

this show is funny and genius! mike is amazing! im starting to think all the low scores and bad reviews are part of a conspiracy to stop ppl from watching and finding out the truth. I personally love this kind of comedy, some ppl say itsthis show is funny and genius! mike is amazing! im starting to think all the low scores and bad reviews are part of a conspiracy to stop ppl from watching and finding out the truth. I personally love this kind of comedy, some ppl say its outdated I say it reminds me of the good old days. Mike meyers is insanely talented you have to give him credit because who else can play multiple characters with such differences like he has. Im really enjoying this but for some it may not be for you because you either dont get the humor or you just dont like these kind of jokes anymore. Just like dont look up people didnt like or get that kind of humor but this is def something a lot of people should enjoy if theyre in the right mood.… Expand
