\"super-intelligence\"<\/p>\n

Melissa McCarthy<\/strong>: you\u2019re one of the most talented actresses working today. But when you work with\u00a0Ben Falcone<\/strong>, you\u2019re comedic poison. The husband-wife duo\u2019s collaborations have resulted in some real stinkers like\u00a0Tammy, The Boss<\/em>, and the recently released\u00a0Superintelligence<\/em>, all of which Falcone had directed and co-written with McCarthy, who starred in the films. And each new project has only delivered diminishing returns, each less funny and more insulting than the last. And now, McCarthy and Falcone are teaming up again for\u00a0God\u2019s Favorite Idiot<\/em><\/strong>, a Netflix workplace comedy series<\/a>.<\/p>\n

McCarthy, featured recently in the New York Times\u2019 list<\/a> of the greatest actors of the 21st century so far, could be one of the most acclaimed actresses in Hollywood. Her knockout performance in\u00a0Can You Ever Forgive Me?<\/em> and her gut-busting collaborations with Paul Feig prove just how talented and wide-ranging she is. But her dedication to working with husband Ben Falcone is undoubtedly holding her back.
\nThus far, the couple have collaborated on feature film and TV projects five times (not counting the amount of times Falcone has cameo\u2019d in McCarthy\u2019s movies), and they\u2019re about to add a sixth. Netflix announced that McCarthy and Falcone are teaming up for\u00a0God\u2019s Favorite Idiot<\/em>, \u201ca comedy series about a mid level tech support employee who finds love at exactly the same time he becomes the unwitting messenger of God.\u201d Both are set to star in the series created by Falcone, who will executive produce alongside McCarthy via their On the Day production company.<\/p>\n

This marks the duo\u2019s sixth collaboration overall and second with Netflix, after recently wrapp<\/a>ing production on the Netflix feature film\u00a0Thunder Force<\/em>.
\nNetflix has given a straight to series order for\u00a0God\u2019s Favorite Idiot<\/em>, according to\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter,<\/a>\u00a0with 16 episodes set for the workplace comedy. The logline also notes that there\u2019s \u201croller skating, a lake of fire and an impending apocalypse.\u201d Sounds fun\u2026if it didn\u2019t come from the mind of Falcone.<\/p>\n

But maybe I\u2019m being too harsh on Falcone. Maybe he will thrive writing for comedy television, after failing to impress with his feature films, all of which have starred his wife. McCarthy certainly found her groove on television before making the leap to feature films, then back to TV again. But it\u2019s clear that this comedy partnership \u2014 which has given us critically slammed films like\u00a0Tammy, The Boss, The Life of the Party<\/em>, and now\u00a0Superintelligence<\/em> \u2014 just isn\u2019t working. I guess this is what they mean when they compare marriage to a ball-and-chain.<\/p>\n
