What to Know

Critics Consensus

While Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein's offbeat sense of humor might be too strange for some, those looking for a kooky new comedy will find much to like in its spooky spoofs.

John Doyle Globe and Mail 07/19/2019
It's more than a sketch and more than a comedy doodle. It's a ludicrously knotted send-up of the craft of acting and a near-hallucinatory mocking of the seriousness that actors place in hokey, blood-and-thunder work. Go to Full Review
Karen Han Polygon 07/17/2019
For better or worse, the special unquestionably belongs to Harbour. That center flourishes when he's left to his own devices. Go to Full Review
Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter 07/17/2019
In the end, all that matters is that the rules of old television are broken. There is no form. Here, watch this thing we did, or not. There's something oddly likeable about that. Go to Full Review

A refreshing mockumentary that allows David Harbour to shine. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

To say this was a waste of film would be wrong, but also right because it doesn't strive to be the best of the best. Go to Full Review

Jay W 12/02/2024 David Harbour stars in this TV short, where he is trying to uncover a mystery about his father. Harbour's father, also played by David Harbour, performed a TV Movie based on Frankenstein. Conflict ensues as Harbour feels his co-stars are trying to upstage him. Meanwhile. David Harbour III is interviewing people who knew his father in an attempt to unravel what happened with his father. The production of the TV Movie is hilariously cheap looking, and there is a funny deep cut about Orson Well's wine commercial. Where the TV short falls short for me is the storyline with David Habour III investigating his father. Sadly that is about half of the runtime of the show. There is a lot of the show that leaves the audience wondering, where is the joke? It is seriously stupid, but the joke is how stupidly serious they take the whole thing.

The lead, David Harbour, features in "Stranger Things" so I gave it a try. It was entertaining enough as a small time filler. See more 09/01/2020 Terrible horrible cringe short film on Netflix. See more lucca b 08/27/2020 A mockumentary short with a satirical and offbeat humor that may be unattractive for some, but its narrative is edgy and intriguing, and it's a great showcase of talent from star David Harbour.
