Review: Grimsburg “Younger Games”
Overview
In an attempt to become immortal, Marvin drinks a special potion that causes rapid de-aging; the department hires a new lieutenant.
Our Take
I like when Grimsburg leans in to more fantasy elements and this week’s episode was the heaviest leaning thus far. For starters, we’re learning about Kang’s immortality (which I hope is a real thing seeing as how the episode ended), and then a whole premise about Marvin getting younger was really well done. Quite frankly, I actually preferred the younger Marvin because I thought his dialogue was wittier and even better delivered the old-man Hamm’s. Asif Ali guest-starring as the new lieutenant was a breath of fresh air and I actually hope we get more of Asif in the future.
The penultimate episode of Grimsburg has a lot going for it in what I hope is a brighter future for FOX’s freshman series. The show concludes it’s first season next week and an a lot of ways I think the show is trying to find itself but if we can get more episodes like “Younger Games” then I think FOX might have a bit of a winner here.
Do we know if Hulu will be the only entity to have the dub, or if it will be on other platforms, too? The show in general is definitely going to be on multiple platforms.
