Plots(1)
The first season of anthology series Miracle Workers is a Heaven-set workplace comedy based on Simon Rich's book What in God's Name. The show stars Daniel Radcliffe, Steve Buscemi, Geraldine Viswanathan and Karan Soni. Radcliffe plays Craig, a low-level angel responsible for handling all of humanity's prayers, and Steve Buscemi plays Craig's boss God, who has pretty much checked out and is ready to move on to his next project. To prevent Earth's destruction, Craig and fellow angel Eliza (Geraldine Viswanathan) must answer a seemingly impossible prayer: help two humans, Laura and Sam, fall in love. (HBO Europe)

Season 1 (2019) (S01)
Eternal rest sounds great... A cynical view of how our world works which, given deeper thought, might not be so dumb after all. Radcliffe as a burned out optimistic loner working in a department that everybody has forgotten about is just perfect. Buscemi’s God is divine, a bored, self-centered illiterate being who tries to look cool in front of everybody oscillates somewhere between the Big Lebowski and a five-year-old. His bet with Jr. concerning the small miracle of saving our planet is slightly superficial, but I must admit that I wasn’t sure until the end how things would pan out with human kind. A pile of dead bodies, red tape and unfilled forms.

Dark Ages (2020) (S02)
A completely different concept, period and overall message, only the main actors and the style of humour remained the same. And it’s not bad at all. Shitshoveler's daughter wants to study and go to the world, and the king's unlucky son doesn't want to kill people as often as his daddy does. The contemporary humor set in the dark ages sometimes works and sometimes it grates. The goat trial is probably the best of the bunch.
