There's plenty of funny in the miniseries' script... And the various sight gags, from cheap miniature sets to Hot Wheels-like toy cars to Halloween-worthy wigs and costumes, had me laughing out loud.

The good parts of Spoils of Babylon are funny enough that you almost feel churlish saying the jokes stretch a couple of absurdities too far.

The Spoils Of Babylon isn't a drama, and isn't even must-see - but it's fun.

In other words, Babylon is asinine - it's supposed to be - and from time to time hilarious.
January 09, 2014
Many of the gags (which tend to wear thin quickly) derive from the ridiculously cheesy production design, which includes toy cars and obvious miniature houses, horrendous special effects and phony backdrops for action or outdoor scenes.
January 09, 2014
The Spoils of Babylon is both a loving and completely silly send-up of a certain sort of dead-serious period piece, full of bad acting, over-the-top twists, and a swelling score.
January 09, 2014
The first two episodes prove as tiresomely pleased-with- themselves as my run-on sentences.
January 09, 2014
Spoils targets the more niche miniseries and does so with a meta flair that will be most appreciated by avid media consumers.
January 09, 2014
Now the genre is low-hanging comedy fruit, ready for picking and juicing into silliness, as Spoils so aptly demonstrates.

If these guys are having so much fun mocking TV's past - and they genuinely seem to be - how can we not merrily go along for the ride?
