Miracle Workers

Miracle Workers stitches together a revolving cast of outsiders who collide with the big questions of life in a string of history hopping stories. Across different eras the characters clash with tradition, try to bend the rules, and chase something that resembles meaning in a bewildering universe. The tone blends goofy wit with quiet reflection as love, faith, and the pull of the unknown push against rigid expectations. Sid and his companions stumble into improbable jobs and oddball situations that test trust, courage, and the idea that even tiny acts can tilt the cosmos. The show refuses easy answers while inviting you to laugh and think at once. Its pitch blends sci fi humor with curiosity and warmth.

Released in 2019 on TBS, Miracle Workers is the brainchild of Simon Rich. The series uses Rich's own short humor as its source material and relies on a rotating slate of directors to bring each era and premise to life.

The show draws attention by pairing a glossy, colorful look with offbeat storytelling that puts misfits at the center. Fans remember its sharp quick exchanges and the way it treats heavy topics with warmth, giving the audience quotable lines without losing humor.

Critics note that the mix of humor and drama lands best when the cast leans into humanity. The anthology lets the show probe loneliness, belief, and ordinary choices, while keeping energy high with inventive ideas and an unexpected tenderness that undercuts pure cynicism. Its mix of wit and warmth lingers.

The series has not received major award nominations, though its creative premise and strong cast earned praise from viewers and critics online, and several performances drew attention for their wit and warmth. Audiences who enjoy offbeat humor and character driven moments may revisit episodes to catch subtle callbacks and evolving relationships.
