What to Know

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. Go to Full Review

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

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Dustin Rowles Pajiba 01/20/2022
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Matt Z Nov 24 I might've come late to this show, but now I can't stop coming. Just like MacGruber. See more Chris S 10/31/2024 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. See more Christian C 09/21/2024 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. See more Helen L 02/13/2024 One of the funniest things I've seen in a while. Give us another season please! See more Phil C @PhilCere031 08/27/2023 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!! See more Corey W 02/15/2023 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. See more Read all reviews
