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.

This tv series isn't for 95% of the population. Don't watch it with your significant other or your kids. If you loved the movie you'll probably laugh your ass off with this show. Enjoy it for what it is... An extension of a movie that's an extension of an SNL skit.

I really enjoyed the movie, and the show hasn't let me down. It may not be everyone's sense of humor but for those of us who enjoy the more crass humor, you should like it.

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.

I loved the MacGruber movie and the skits for Saturday Night Live so I was really looking forward to this. It did not disappoint. Will Forte returns as the funny as hell MacGruber. He's as annoying as ever. You don't have to see the movie or skits to watch this but it helps because it takes place ten years after the movie. This is actually better than the movie and skits, more ridiculous but even funnier because of it. I can understand that this comedy isn't for everyone, it has an Austin Powers type comedy to it except more adult oriented. The supporting cast (Ryan Phillippe, Kristen Wiig, Sam Elliott, Laurence Fishborne, etc) is excellent as well. They all understand how absurd the show that they're making is and you can tell they're all having a blast making it.
