HBO's "The Franchise" Takes Satirical Aim at the MCU | TV/Streaming | Roger Ebert
Briefly

Iannucci produces the latest HBO comedy, "The Franchise," about the tumultuous production of a high-budget movie, parodying both superhero fatigue and industry pretensions.
"The Franchise" was actually created by Jon Brown, with a premiere directed by the Oscar-winning Sam Mendes, showcasing a perfect cast and comedy set-up.
Patel plays Daniel, an Assistant Director on a 'Tecto' sequel, a superhero franchise that resonates with iconic series, tackling on-set drama and cancelled stars.
While the show humorously critiques blockbuster culture, some of its targets may feel easier compared to Iannucci's previous works, yet it remains engaging.
