Why you should watch the show "Wonderworker"

On American television channel TBS launched comedy series "Wonderworker" Simon Rich based on his own book What in God's Name.

Rich has already become famous thanks to the project "Man looking for a woman", which are typical for a romantic sitcom situation was brought to the point of absurdity.

It seems that in the modern history writer did not intend to reduce the degree of madness. And that is why "the Miracle Worker" have turned out so bright and attractive.

Now, imagine that God and the angels live not in the clouds under the eternal sun, and sit in the typical huge office. God - it's the boss who is not engaged in anything, but simply delegates: various departments respond to prayer, volcanoes explode, do clouds produce dirt.

Then one day, God knows, that the Earth and the people he greatly bored. And he decides to blow up the planet with all its inhabitants. But two members of the Department of prayers offered him a bet: they carry out any request from an incredible people, and in return, God will not blow up the Earth.

But it turns out, they have chosen the most difficult topic - love.

Man meme in the image of God

Supreme in the comedy project shows different. Recall at least Morgan Freeman in "Bruce Almighty," Whoopi Goldberg of "The main thing - do not be afraid!" well, or mileyshuyu Alanis Morissette in "Dogma." But to take on the role of God by Steve Buscemi - the solution is certainly extraordinary.

In fact, initially the role of the Creator had to fulfill Owen Wilson. But in the fall, he left the project, and he was urgently replaced by Buscemi. And the series is only benefited.

In addition to the solid acting experience, he had already become a star of many jokes and memes. Under his way altered 50 Shades of Buscemi Trailer of "50 shades of gray", and even imposed deepfakes Jennifer Lawrence-Buscemi on her favorite housewives on the face of the actor gave a speech Jennifer Lawrence.

So that the very Buscemi makes the character funny. The more that the image of him to select appropriate.

God "Wonderworker" reminiscent of a dude from "The Big Lebowski", Or one of the many images of Buscemi Coen films. He is a slovenly, lazy and clumsy. But most importantly, it is very boring. God tired of earthly vanity, people are becoming less thank him, let alone the sacrifices in general have forgotten.

Conduct it with something similar to the character of its namesake Steve Carell in the American version of "office"Is that more lazy. He is watching TV, trying not to pay attention to the bad news, it comes up with crazy ideas and at the same time in every way take time off from their regular duties.

Perhaps this is understandable. For him, that destroy the land, that to get someone to eat a worm - a class of the same order. So how can the Almighty fun. And to solve all the issues necessary to his subordinates.

Heavenly office

Unusual in this series not only God, but also his subordinates. Company Heaven Inc. - typical typical company employees. They do not wear white robes and wings and go to work in casual clothes. And mostly relate to his duties carelessly, because of what the world problems occur regularly.

There are, for example, careerist Sanjay (Karan Soni from "Deadpool"), Which is in every way to curry favor with the boss, even though he tries to throw off all the tasks on the other. Seasoned web cynical secretary Rosie (Lolly Adefop), able to pull up even God.

And, of course, "a young, ambitious and purposeful" (as it is accepted to write in a resume) an employee of the Department of mud Eliza (Geraldine Visvanathan). Around her misadventures and will build the whole story.

Dreaming of a pinch, she gets to answer the prayers of the department, where, as it turned out, running only one employee - a closed and unsociable Craig (Daniel Radcliffe). Looking at his clothes, behavior and beard in the first series, as well as the basement, where there is division, it is difficult to avoid association with the image of a typical system administrator.

Every day, Craig collapses several billion prayers of search gloves to save the world. He can answer the three - just like many sysadmins. But he loves his work and happy to help the people in the small troubles of life.

Meeting Eliza and Craig - a typical conflict of energetic young professionals and experts. She just wants to solve global problems, forgetting about the consequences, and he was pleased with the small, the principle of "do no harm". Although it turns out not always.

That initiative Eliza and leads to God's decision to destroy the Earth. Of course, she did not plan, just a coincidence.

And the indefatigable heroine decides to prove to God that things are not so bad, and selects the most simple "impossible" prayer: man and woman love each other, we just need to help them to kiss.

It seems to be easy. But who knew that this probably will wait a couple of end of the world than is recognized each other in love.

love introverts

In fact, the history of relations here just two, with one following another, literally, word for word. On the ground, Sam and Laura can not possibly to tellThat like each other. And at this time the sky Craig learns to communicate with Eliza.

And both of these lines, though filled with absurd situations and humor, still look pathetic. After all, everyone seems to talk about feelings and emotional to make actions easily.

But Sam hesitates to even write "hello" in the SMS. And Laura falls for handsome random simply because he took the initiative in their hands. And, of course, they will spoil all the romantic moments, and fall into a stupor when he simply must kiss.

Meanwhile, the angels in heaven, creating the right atmosphere, run all the mechanisms that the lovers met at the right time, saw some important sign. Nobody thinks about the fear and distress.

Only Craig can understand how characters feel, because he was exactly the same. He was used to that no one pays attention to him. And that is why only with the support of Craig lovers may be together, unknowingly saving all of humanity.

Humor - black and not only

But the main charm of "Miracle-Workers" is that different types of humor here side by side. First, constant irony of office workers. Sanjay posing in front of the cameras, and then have to run to help the boss to turn on the microwave. Rosie was doing well in everything, and eventually became the secretary. Craig even years do not go out of its dark corner.

Again, we can recall the "Office" with all the stereotypical characters. Only in the "Wonderworker" added a lot more phantasmagoria, because there is a department of the genitals and even snowflakes design department. But in general, the angels do not differ from managers: they are lazy, confused tasks and how many workers a typical company, dream that all the work has collapsed.

Secondly, it black humor. Here, in the first place, light Buscemi and the main characters. And the first game works solely because of stupidity or insult: come up with the punishment for pranksters atheist or communicates with the righteous, forcing to doubt the adequacy of their own.

But Craig with Eliza opposite is true - they always want "the best". But it is necessary to arrange the seller attack of appendicitis, the visitor basketball game diarrhea. A special pleasure - news releases, which focuses on the consequences of these actions. And you and funny and embarrassing for the heroes.

Well, in the appendage cute and romantic humor. However, the characters do not become overly charming. John Bass as Sam adds to the effect of the grotesque comedy. But he that Radcliffe Great game guys who always have nothing to say in society pleasant girl.

"Wonderworker" look very easy. Especially that no timing delaying is not in sight: the entire series consists of seven 20-minute episodes that come once a week. They can watch as they become available, or wait for the season and for a couple of hours to swallow him whole.

In Russia, "Chudotvortsev" you can legally watch "kinopoisk". The episodes come in the voice acting "Courage Bamba" simultaneously with the world premiere.
