'Miracle Workers' maybe the love child of 'The Good Place' and 'The Office', but its take on heaven and afterlife is brilliantly unique
God is a loser, the world is in chaos, and two shy humans kissing is the key to stopping an apocalypse.
TBS’ comedy ‘Miracle Workers’ has set itself apart from the rest of the crop with its plot alone, but how well does the Daniel Radcliffe–Steve Buscemi series succeed in following through? To start off, Earth is controlled by a corporate called Heaven Inc., which is run — for intents and purposes — by the jaded, disillusioned and oftentimes blubbering mess of a being called God.
This world, or Universe to be more precise, has been designed and thought out in the most microscopic level by Simon Rich, complete with a heavenly yes man and a socially awkward angel who works alone in the deep underbelly the ‘factory’, where not many people willingly venture into. That is, until, one wide-eyed newbie with an unshakable intent to make a difference, forces her way in.
