This is pretty typical of The Almighty Johnsons’ approach, a great big sloppy mess (thrrup thrrup!) of plotlines and stock characters thrown together. There are attempts at showing the tensions between the elder brothers but the biggest crime is right after being told his entire life is a lie, Axl then carries on partying.
Billed as a comedy drama, it manages to lack both as the episode plods along ploddingly.
Turns out, the baby of the pack is also the king of the gods himself, Odin!ĭespite such a solid set up, The Almighty Johnsons (vwoop vwoop!) starts off in a manner as uninspired as the title. He can add god of exposition to his repertoire as he brings Axl up to speed with his legacy. After getting a bit bouncy on a trampoline (heeeeee!) she pulls out a dagger and what follows is an assassination attempt on Axl so pitiful, she might as well have sent him a warning letter a week in advance.īut Axl’s issues don’t end there, the morning after he’s abducted by his own brothers and driven to the woods to meet his 92-going-on-31 granddad Olaf, the god of rebirth and dancing around holding a lamp.
THE ALMIGHTY JOHNSONS SEASON 1 EPISODE 3 DRIVER
After a near miss with a 4×4, he invites the pretty blonde driver back to his party as you would do to the person who nearly ran you down. It’s the eve of young Axl’s 21st birthday and we first see him stocking up on booze under a night sky filled with shooting stars.
