The series revolves around a group of family adventures, as the all-new Muppet series begins. Now, the scooter rushes to offer more different ramifications while navigating the obstacles, distractions, and multiples that the rest of the Muppet gang receives in each different path.
It's perplexing that in only a six-episode season, the four episodes I've seen already settle into a sense of sameness. Good thing there's a lot to work with here.
Not as innovative or original as The Muppet Show and nowhere near as entertaining as THE MUPPETS, Muppets Now is an enjoyable time-waster perfect for all ages.
Piggy is the undisputed star of the new series, commanding attention and adoration in weekly lifestyle segments... Which is fine, even when we might wish for a little more variety in a puzzlingly formula-driven variety show.
Muppets has always been funniest when spoofing showbiz, and the same is true of Muppets Now. Though it lacks some of the warmth and sophistication of The Muppet Show, its characters have been smartly updated for the streaming era.
The show is totally bonkers, but in the right sort of way. It's so unrealistically charming that you can't help but smile and snicker at what happens in each of the skits.
How did this turn into a Miss Piggy fandom piece? I don't know. But as I watched it, I thought about how smart Jim Henson was to give us girls someone who is confident in herself-even if she is a pig.
There's something comforting in how the writers blend in the familiar beats and strike a nostalgic chord for those of us who grew up with these characters.
