Review of The Spoils of Babylon

The Spoils of Babylon is a great mini-series with a well developed storyline that is stretched out nicely in to six half hour episodes.There are plenty of very funny scenes throughout the series,the best ones involving Tobey Maguire,Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell,while every actor does their best in this series,these three seemed the most interested.The series is a parody of old drama series,this is funny most if the time,but certain times the joke of making the show seem "old and lazy" goes too far and stops being funny after awhile.There are a tone of very well known actors throughout the six episodes,there isn't one single episode that dosen't bring in a new character played by a very well known actor.While the Spoils of Babylon isn't a perfect and hilarious comedy series from start to finish,and I certainly think the show started off better and got a little weaker towards the end,it's only six episodes long,which won't take away a lot if time,and with a great comedic cast and plenty of hilarious scenes,it is definitely worth the watch.

Story of Devon and Cynthia Morehouse (Tobey Maguire and Kristen Wiig),a young girl and her adopted brother,who start a relationship as they rise to power together because of their deceased fathers wealth.
