‘The Pentaverate’
Mike Myers had an impressive 20 year run atop the comedy mountain, thanks to his era-defining work on SNL, Wayne’s World, and the Austin Powers and Shrek franchises. Things started to go south for Myers — quickly — when The Love Guru bombed on every conceivable level in 2008, effectively ending his run as an A-list comedy icon, but like a veteran pitcher that has lost his fastball but not his hunger for the game, Myers spent the intervening years developing a curveball that relies on one of his key strengths: his wholly unique and deeply weird comedic sensibilities. The result is The Pentaverate, a 6-episode limited series about a secret cabal called, you guessed it, The Pentaverate, who are kind of like the Illuminati or the Freemasons except … they’re nice? The show may have been trounced by critics and completely abandoned by its parent company, but that doesn’t mean that it’s without its merits. The show deserves a second chance, and if you are the type of viewer who actively seeks out the weird and the shunned, it just might be for you.
