Where to find it: NowTV
Length: Eight 25-minute episodes
Synopsis: Marvel movies make for easy satire
Recommendation rating: 4/5
What I like about it: funny lines and actors
What I don’t like about it: inconsistent, tries a bit too hard, arrives a few years too late
Review:
In this sitcom, which Armando Iannucci is at least somewhat involved in and is definitely modelled after his work, a thinly-veiled Marvel movie is being made with many disasters and squabbles along the way. Has a lower hit rate than, say, The Thick of It but it gets better as it goes, deserves a second season it probably won’t get.
Content notes (may contain spoilers): inventive swearing
