Seth Rogen as Matt Remick in Apple TV's The Studio
The era of satirizing Hollywood is here, and viewers seem to be loving it. Following its record-breaking debut on Apple TV, The Studio has become one of the most popular comedies about Hollywood. The Seth Rogen-led hit has been a critical success, scoring an impressive 92% on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
It has also been nominated for and won numerous awards, including Emmys. Meanwhile, a new competitor has also risen quickly, threatening The Studio's dominance. Disney+ recently released its new superhero comedy, Wonder Man, and the show is already the most-watched on the platform. Starring Yahya Abdul Mateen II, Wonder Man blends the superhero genre with a satirical take on Hollywood, following a struggling actor, Simon Williams. At 89% on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the show has united critics and viewers who have given it a matching score. Wonder Man features the same wild energy of The Studio. From the over-the-top scenarios to celebrity cameos, Wonder Man and The Studio are like two sides of the same coin: one showing a struggling CEO and the other an actor — but with superpowers because it's Marvel, after all. Wonder Man also features impressive performances from Ben Kingsley, Arian Moayed, X Mayo, and Zlatko Burić. Is 'Wonder Man' Actually Worth Watching? The show is a departure from what Marvel is known for: big-budget superhero movies. The outfit has been trying to lean into TV shows for a long time and has had significant success with shows like WandaVision and Loki. Collider's Aidan Kelley appreciated the departure from the over-produced Marvel projects that have led to superhero fatigue. In his Wonder Man Season 1 review, Kelley praised it for offering something different while grounding it in the real world. An excerpt from the review reads: With the MCU set to go full speed ahead on superhero hijinks this year between Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday, a grounded, emotional, and reserved show like Wonder Man is exactly what the shared universe needs right now. It is a remarkable and satisfying take on a world with a near-countless number of movies and shows already, one that's almost identical to our own. In between the laughs and satire, Wonder Man also tackles many real-world issues both in and out of the entertainment industry. It's also bursting with surprises, including an episode that follows a totally separate character that we wouldn't dare spoil for you here. Whether you're a hardcore MCU fan or have never watched a superhero movie in your life, Wonder Man is one of those rare experiences that appeals to both sides, and it marks a truly phenomenal start for Marvel's ambitious 2026 slate.
