Sometimes the comedy of The Pentaverate lives up to those ambitious visuals, often with structural or meta jokes, like the silly Irons intros, or a running gag that is, hands down, the finest comedy work of Maria Menounos’ career. ... The Pentaverate is more wistful than scatalogical when it comes to its satire, though.

Every time “The Pentaverate” feels like it's developing a rhythm, it goes on a tangent to fill space—typically one that shows off the fact that this show is allowed to be very R-rated on Netflix. It’s like a stand-up set that has some good material surrounded by 45 minutes of filler.

Toward the end of the series, Myers tries to make some point about the internet, truth and the death of journalism, but it all just gets lost in the “technicolor yawn” of a vomit joke. ... It’s clear that this television show is actually just an overlong movie chopped into six pieces.

I found it to be quite comcial and love the return of Mike Myers. Critics seem to hate it because made fun of Davlos and elitist.

Austin Powers films are also rated in the 50's on Metacritic. You either love that type of humor or hate it. I happen to find it genius and critics apparently don't. Oh well, I guess they don't laugh as often.

Silly with a few surprisingly funny gags and a couple poignant bits. Feels like they could have cut some stuff and make it a tighter and better 4 episode series but then, Myers never seems to want to always use every bit possible.

It's a bit all over the place in style and humour, and it's like Mike Myers threw a bunch of ideas at the wall to see what would stick, but that's not uncharacteristic. Suffice to say if you're really missing some Austin Powers style humour it's worth a watch.
