Critics Consensus

MacGruber won't convert anyone who isn't already in on the joke, but it reaffirms that deadpan buffoonery is Will Forte's forte.

I’m happy to report that MacGruber the series, which picks up after its lead has spent more than ten years in prison, is an improvement even on the movie.

An eight-part series invariably means stretching out the best material, but MacGruber devotees will be satisfied.

It's almost impossible to describe a big chunk of what makes MacGruber enjoyable without just listing off a string of jokes that Forte, Wiig, and a handful of other lucky guest stars get to toss in the mix.

4/5

While the twists may be predictable and the pacing suffers from its half-hour TV format, this is a functional action thriller and fully effective comedy vehicle.

The cast - Forte and Wiig, in particular - completely commit themselves to the absurdity of it, and therein lies the remaining joy of MacGruber: Watching great comedic actors abandon their dignity in service of a laugh.

3.5/4

You could watch the movie and then go right into the show, and it feels like it's the same production... MacGruber loses nothing in the time it spent collecting dust.

I might've come late to this show, but now I can't stop coming. Just like MacGruber.

MacGruber isn’t just a comedy—it’s a cult masterpiece for those with a taste for the absurd, the outrageous, and the brilliantly stupid. If you’re into humor that’s as wild as it is unexpected, this film will be right up your alley. It’s one of those rare comedies that seems to get better with each watch; every time I rewatch it, I catch a new line or visual gag that leaves me in stitches.

If you haven't seen it, it cannot be explained. This concept should not be funny for 8 episodes... And yet, it's probably better than the movie.

I always wanted to see a sequel for the movie, and for my sins- the Gods gave me a season!! 100% of the fun I expected it to be!!

Walking the line between "stupid" and "stupid funny" can be tough, but MacGruber mostly pulls it off thanks in large part to the commitment from the cast. Forte is, as always, excellent as the titular MacGruber having lived in this role for decades now from SNL to the big screen. Supporting work from Kristen Wiig, Ryan Phillippe, and Laurence Fishburne also help to sell this purposefully bad package. This iteration of MacGruber is sure to delight fans and have non-fans looking for something else to watch entirely. It's certainly not for everyone, but if you want deadpan, slapstick humor that is deliberately basic look no further than this tried and true offering.
