The Pentaverate (TV Mini Series) Episode #1.1 (2022) User Reviews

What am I watching? And why can't I stop?

As a Mike Myers fan, I've been looking forward to this show for a while, but I wasn't prepared for how bonkers it is. The cool things are the References and Easter eggs. The ATV logo behind Rob Lowe. The Hi De Hi yellow coats. The London Underground patterns. The font from The Prisoner. Sasquatch from The Six Million Dollar Man etc

The slightly less cool things are the excessive toilet humour. Sasquatch taking a dump in a corridor is a bit unnecessary, and the poo gags just keep coming

After a few episodes though, I tuned into the humour and started to really enjoy it. And I realised how much I've missed Mike Myers. The arrival of Jennifer Saunders elevates it, and my advice is to just embrace the madness.

Sweet show

First, it's nice to see Mike Myers back! I enjoyed the characters he played and it was more subtle than usual. Definitely you can tell he loves 60's spy movies and definitely saw some homage to The Prisoner. If nothing else it tries to be different and has a soft center which I appreciated.

First episode is a swing and a miss

Great idea. Well cast. Unfortunately miserably executed. I'm truly disappointed in this first episode but I'll try and give it one or two more to see if it improves.
