Episode 307

Yes, as many critics have pointed out this was a filler episode of Miracle Workers, make no mistake about it, but it was still a highly entertaining one.

Steve Buscemi has been great in this role and did a good job here as an outlaw who is absolutely clueless in situations like this.

They managed to make Benny the Teen a buffoon and yet a sympathetic figure all at once, something that a lot of shows are not able to handle.

A lot of laughs in this one not just given the absurd premise, but because the jokes genuinely connected. This was definitely a standout episode of Miracle Workers and proof that the show can be quite strong when it wants to.

Unnecessary episode.

This was pretty much a filler episode, one that was hardly entertaining. I think it was the very definition of boring. Its entire purpose revolved around putting Benny in a situation where he has his eyes opened, so to speak, and then for him to return to the group; pretty boring stuff.

Honestly, I don't think this episode was necessary, and while I'm probably wrong: it feels like the real reason for this episode was to drag out the season by one episode. What was achieved with Benny definitely didn't need practically an entire episode revolved around doing so. That would've been a waste of time, and since the latter is what happened, it WAS a waste of time.

Most of the "humor" in this episode didn't classify as humor, in my opinion. It was all pretty bland, so bland, was it even humor? Surely this time around, there won't be people mentioning how funny something or other in this episode was, or how this is the best episode yet: but my opinions on episodes of TV shows and movies always seem to be the outliers. Like how I thought the fifth episode was the least enjoyable one so far, and then I saw a few people saying that it was the best episode yet.

My opinion regarding this episode is that it's the worst episode yet. I'm aware that I said that about the previous episode. But opinions can be flexible. At least the previous episode wasn't the least enjoyable one: it still had some enjoyment to it. I think this episode was not only the worst one yet, but it was also the most boring one yet.

The "humor" (if you'd even call it that because of how bland it was) was essentially non-existent, which I think is one of the strong suits of this show/season, so you can imagine how the "humor" affected this episode. The only worthwhile moments were when Ezekiel was talking to the ox and the character of the General. And as far as the episode itself is concerned; a waste of time, easily forgettable.
