Galavant is perhaps most watchable thanks to the fact that there isn't anything like it on TV right now, and likely never will be replicated. Beyond that, it's silly but fun--rare enough in this world.
No part of the equation that makes up Galavant is subtle. It piles on the songs, the choreography, the bawdy humor and the clever writing. That deep dive into the genre is what will help viewers shake off the doubts we had going into it. Galavant is a uniquely enjoyable ride.

If the folks behind Monty Python and the Holy Grail and the Princess Bride got together and made a musical, it would go something like this. Netflix or someone should grab the rights and keep this series going. One of the most entertaining and original things on television in a long time.

SEASON 1
If you have my mix of tastes, it's a joy to watch.
Mix monty python irony with catchy musical pieces, shuffle with generic fantasy, spice up with soo many citations and a few 4th wall breaches... great.
Sadly only two seasons to watch, but two very pleasant seasons.

SEASON 1
Half the jokes are inspired; half the jokes hit the floor.
The show offers an excess of mildly clever yet sincere goofiness. It’s as if someone set out to make a Spamalot for an audience that can’t quite grok Python, would find Into the Woods too morose and maybe missed half the pop-culture references in the Shrek movies.
It's all got the stirrings of something that should be funny, or wants to be funny, except that it's too often not - confoundedly, relentlessly, insistently not. [3 Jan 2015]
These jokes aren't funny ones. They're old, threadbare ones that Galavant does nothing to build upon. In fact, they might be Galavant in a nutshell: everything seems different, but this is the same old TV slop in a different suit of armor.
I'm sure this show could be really good for some people but I just found myself not enjoying it very much. I'm giving it a 5 because even though I didn't like it that much there are other reasons that make it deserve a mixed rating.

SEASON 1
Musicals are supposed to have great music. The music here is the exposition/rhyme type that a twelve-year-old would likely write if asked. Right from the beginning, the music **** that can't be in a musical. This is why musicals in general are so tough to do. I feel for these guys...they clearly love the genre, and want it to work. But the songs should be memorable, and **** just there to tell a story that could otherwise be told without the tunes.

i've been watching for 15 minutes and i still can't decide if this show is being ironic or not. i think i would think it even more awful if it were trying to be ironic because it's not even a little funny or entertaining. however if it was being purposefully bad at being ironic than that would be both funny and ironic.

Fans of Monty python might enjoy this series, but I for one could not get past the first 5 minutes of the first episode. This show lacks taste, intelligence and more so real humour.
