Schmigadoon! (2021–2023)
8/10
Once Upon a Carousel in Brigahoma
24 July 2021
Either you like musical theater or you don't. If you do, then Schmigadoon - the town and the series - is for you. If not, stay away. The musical parodies are clever, though obviously derivative; the production numbers are appropriately over the top. At a few moments, it's a little too cute and self-aware for its own good, but for the most part, don't ask why, just enjoy. As the couple trapped in a Broadway fantasy while trying to revive their flagging relationship, Keegan-Michael Key and Cecily Strong play their parts well, but the real standouts are Broadway veterans like Alan Cumming and Kristen Chenowitz playing it for all the Camp it's worth.

Halfway through, it's not hard to guess where this is likely going. Maybe there will be surprises, but even if it ends crossing that bridge hand in hand, it will more than enough fun.
