A very unorthodox "comedy entertainment", where you have to accept before watching that it is not a regular series, but a parody of everything, which is not serious even in one minute, it is a mess of humour, jokes and gags and more Mike Myers' One Man Show than a classic production. Unfortunately for how much I like silly humour, this didn't grab me all that much, most of the catchphrases went over my head and although some of the skits were good, as a whole it doesn't work very well. There is satisfaction in the fact that the episodes are relatively short episodes, and they occasionally amuse and move along quickly, but otherwise I don't see many positives. Those who skip it won't go wrong...

If you like Austin Powers, you've come to the right place. If you don’t, well, I'm sure you'll find another show to enjoy and leave this typical Myers series to us. I'm extremely pleased and I really commend Netflix for giving Mike Myers the opportunity (and the money) to do it. The Pentavirate doesn't lack anything you expect from it, and it has a few things you wouldn't expect.
