Critic Reviews

This one lands somewhere between a pleasant surprise and better-than-expected.

Cyrus is surrounded by a talented cast, many of whom could have compensated for his lack of ability if the script were better than middling. But it’s tough to ignore how thin the writing is for the female characters, particularly Debbie.

Few of the jokes land and although the show gets mild props for its series premiere cliffhanger (and to a lesser degree the out-of-left field resolution in episode two), Still the King looks shoddy and fails to produce many laughs.
