What to Know

Critics Consensus

After a long absence from the screen, Mike Myers returns with an overstuffed farce wherein he plays eight different characters -- but unfortunately, almost none of them are funny.

Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 05/19/2022
The story is involved, but the plot is episodic and the comedy mostly genial, with puns, excessive accents and bodily function gags (lots of those). It’s nice to have Myers back, but this is at best a distraction. Go to Full Review
Melanie McFarland Salon.com 05/09/2022
If you're not bowled over by the eight rubbery faces Myers cycle through its six episodes, maybe it's because they're only slightly removed from versions of his characters you've laughed with before but whose humor feels crustily outdated in 2022. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
"The Pentaverate" is simultaneously silly and pointless, and a welcome return to form for its star. Go to Full Review

2/10
Overstuffed with info dumps and cheap gags, the series devotes little time to exploring its characters. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Mike Myers has returned to joke about poop, butts, farts and pee, but with the confidence and courage of someone who knows the ins and outs of comedy. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Amanda Mazzillo Film Joy 06/11/2022
The Pentaverate is a funny satire of secret societies/conspiracies and great return to form for Mike Myers who plays 8 characters, all of which have moments to shine and are never overpowering. Lydia West expresses wonderful comedic talent every episode. Go to Full Review

Nick M @RT28696033 10/05/2024 You can tell something Mike Myers wrote and produced himself as it's like time stopped Mike Myers humor in 1992. It's Love Guru taken up to 11 and given a series. Myers is a great comedian when he has people focusing his direction and to play off of; but when it is pure mainline Mike Myers its like watching hours and hours of bad dad jokes on infinite repeat. You get 90% of the premise and plot of this series in the first 15 minutes and then the 5-1/2 remaining episodes are just looping it over and over and over again till you crave something of the quality of The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, or McHale's Navy to come wash this out of your brain. The Love Guru sits at on many lists at around 80 on the 100 worst films of all time. If this were a film I think it would have topped Mike's record holding position. See more Mycroft C @RT34759337 09/05/2024 Lots of people slamming this.. it's Mike Myers! You know? Wayne's World, Austin Powers? He does silly puns and toilet humour and he does it great. If you want something deep go watch something else. This is hilarious and a welcome return from Doctor Evil himself. Wonderful! See more Chuck K @RT90646276 05/18/2024 If you like Mike Meyers then you will love this. I lot of critics didn’t like this panning it as childish. They should’ve expected that from a meyers movie. If you like Austin Powers type humor this will certainly deliver for you. See more Gorptholemew T @RT35369717 11/25/2023 🍀 4.9/10 Sadly the Pentaverate is not the comeback of Mike Myers that we all wanted. for some reason it doesn't feel like it has the spark as Austin Powers or Wayne's world. still has some pretty solid jokes. but it feels oddly empty and kind of all over the place except for that Shrek cameo. I wish I could like it more because damn some of these jokes are pretty good. Grade C+ See more Nestor G @RT51870253 09/11/2023 Mike Myers to the top, he's so skillful, and so multifaceted that can interpret most of the characters. The series is a reflection of his personality. I would like it that be more humorous. See more Al N @RT02258810 07/25/2023 A theoretical comedy with about as much "humor" as the show's alleged "message" (see: nonsensical rambling from an out of touch multi millionaire well past his prime) has meaning or importance. A few cast members actually do what they can but are dragged down by Mike Myers. It's "humor" is so bad a cameo by a famous animated character Mike Myers voice acted is the show's second funniest joke. It's best joke are the narrated intros by Jeremy Irons but by the last episode they give that up as well. See more Read all reviews
