MacGruber

I was going to rate this show an 8, but I just can't denigrate it that much. It made me laugh hard at many moments and I've watched it through several times now (it remains saved for future viewings). Of course Forte is a comedic genius in his own right. I even wish I could rate a 10 but it wasn't quite that perfect of a full season 1.

I found some of the goriness a little more than needed and as much as a fan as I am of this franchise, I still can't quite understand the over-the-top extreme mockery of the original character and TV show from the 80s. But I go with it nonetheless.

Kristen Wiig again delivers as much or more than Forte in this series follow-up to the 2010 movie. Her song at open-night in episode 1 is surprisingly wonderful, touching.

Again, wish I could rate this a 10/10 but there were moments of excessive gore and vulgarity (even) that at times seemed to detract for even the most hardened vet of comedy and horror and whatever.

Still a great series, well worth the watch for viewers with thick skins who are able to understand satire and sarcasm at extreme levels.

MacGruber is just as funny as the movie. It's stupid funny so you'll need to turn off your brain. I don't understand the people who are leaving negative reviews...what were you expecting that you didn't get? I can see if you didn't know anything about the character and watched the movie blind but this movie isn't for those people. This is for fans of the character from the MacGruber movie and Saturday Night Live skit or of Will Forte. It's the perfect follow up to the movie. This is definitely for adults because it has foul language, nudity, violence, etc. Will Forte is as hilarious as he always is. He'll have you laughing out loud every episode. I'm hoping that they'll continue with more seasons because you can never have enough MacGruber.

MacGruber is always a little f'D up, and this show a little more raw than the SNL skits! Escapism at least. I'm sure some nay-sayers will come along, but let them escape death as many times as MacGruber has - and most of the people around him haven't. 😄

Just like the film disengage your brain and have a great laugh and sillyness.

The people here rating it as low as they are obviously didn't watch the film or ever see the character before and went in expecting something very different. Although the credits should have prepared you. Lol.

Anyway just what I needed.

Greatest show on tv right now - my stomach hurts for laughin so hard. This is just like the movie too. I hope they make much more. Everything about this is perfect.
