Lots of good conspiracy theories are circulating on the Internet, and most are based on the assumption that the world is run by a small elite, who pull the strings and influence the biggest events humanity has known for centuries: the Deep State, the Lizard, the Illuminati, the Masons, George Soros or Beyonce. .
There are plenty of theories, but one is missing - the one that will decipher what the hell happened to Mike Myers.
His new series, "The Pentagon" - in which Myers plays about eight characters, if I counted correctly - describes such a secret society, founded in 1347 and led by five white and educated men.
The organization was founded to secretly advance agendas that would advance humanity, but evil and money corrupted it, until an aging Canadian journalist entered the story who was sucked into an existential mystery that also included a malicious supercomputer that could take over the world.
Must have a special sense of taste and a strong affection for Myers' historical work ("Wayne's World," "Austin Powers") to make it through the six episodes of the season.
"The Pentagon" is drowning in a puddle of poop and pee jokes, and punches on foreskin, farts and vomit.
Imagine for a second you were transposed into the karmic driven world of Earl.
At the same time, the infantile nonsense also functions as the unique and strange spice of the series - it is idiotic, human, non-offensive, light-hearted and outdated.
Groby, baby.
Myers' latest film, "The Love Guru," which he created 14 years ago, failed on a level that undermined his status as a comic genius and interrupted the continuation of his work.
"The Pentagon" was supposed to be the comeback, and in light of the probing of the deep-state worlds - it probably strived to be a kicking satire with a statement, but it's hard to listen to something so goofy.
Netflix has given Myers, a gifted comedian with receipts, an inflated budget and a free hand to create up-to-date comedy, but its humor is archaic and childish, the carnage is oppressive, and the sad conclusion is that Mike Myers as a creator no longer stands the test of time.
