Miracle Workers: End Times is a 2023 series that aired on TBS.It is the fourth and last edition of the anthology series Miracle Workers. This one is a parody of After the End dramas such as Mad Max. Daniel Radcliffe stars as Sid, who was born after "the Boom" and has spent his whole life wandering the desert wasteland left behind after nuclear war. He meets Freya Exaltada (Geraldine Viswanathan), a merciless warlord who roams the desert, conquering what's left of civilization and exacting tribute.Naturally, they fall in love, get married, and move to the suburbs—"the suburbs" being a ramshackle village called Boomtown. Sid gets a job for Morris Rubinstein, a sleazy junk dealer (Steve Buscemi), while Freya chafes at the restrictions of domestic life. Will they find happiness?Karan Soni appears as Freya's robot friend, TI-90 ("Tai"). Jon Bass plays Scraps, a human being who walks on two legs and speaks English but in all other respects acts exactly like Freya's pet dog. | |

"Well Done, Son" Guy | |

"Well Done, Son" Guy: In "Grouping Ceremony", Timmy and his father Morris initially have an adversarial relationship. But after Morris gets Timmy enrolled in the "Strong" group, Timmy admits that he wants Morris to be proud of him and Morris realizes that he's been more focused on making Timmy more like himself than respecting Timmy's own merits. | |

Decapitation Presentation: In the second episode Freya sets up the heads of her enemies on her fence posts. They're rigged to grunt "When the Saints go Marching In" when plugged up to a generator. It gets her a letter from the HOA for unauthorized lawn ornamentation, starting her subplot of the episode. | |

Black Comedy: Throughout, as Sid is a road warrior and Freya is a warlord in a post-apocalyptic hellscape. For the big dinner party with Morris, Sid comes out wearing an absurd coat with tassels and hat and says he "found it on the corpse of an old train conductor." The Mailman vs. Dog plot between Scraps and the mailman ends with Scraps, who is in fact a human being, murdering the mailman. Episode 7 ends with Freya and Scraps telling Sid that they burned down Scraps's ("Roland's") old village and strongly implies that they killed Scraps's whole family. Sid is disturbed. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Miracle Workers: End Times / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: In episode 4, "Grouping Ceremony", Sid is very surprised to find out that the citizens of Boomtown are sorted into five groups, and that one of them, Malicious, is "actively evil." ("That doesn't seem like something you'd want to encourage."). The five groups even have differently colored banners. The allusion to the Harry Potter series and the Hogwarts houses, and Slytherin the evil house, is obvious. | |

Heel–Face Turn: Two examples in "The End". Morris is initially willing to sell out the town to the invading robots, and then annoys Neural Net into sparing him if he stays out of the battle, but watching his fellow humans get slaughtered causes him to reevaluate his cowardice and leads to him offering shelter in his junkyard at a key moment. Tai, after being subjected to a "The Reason You Suck" Speech by Freya, pulls the remains of torso to the center of town to redeem himself by finishing John Christ's signal broadcast to disable Neural Net. | |

Tap on the Head: At the end of "Grouping Ceremony", Morris decides to admit he meddled in order to get Timmy into the "Strong" group like Morris had been in his youth instead of the more-fitting "Heroic" group. However, the administrator behind the grouping decides to preserve her reputation by trying to kill Morris, leading to Timmy proving his heroism by giving her a solid whack to the back of the head, knocking her unconscious. | |

Take That! | |
| Miracle Workers: End Times / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: "Grouping Ceremony" is an entire episode that mocks Divergent, as Morris frets over getting his son Timmy onto the "Strong" career path, even resorting to an elaborate bribery scheme to accomplish this when it's clear that his son would be judged "Heroic", while Sid repeatedly tries in vain to point out how stupid it is to divide society up by subjectively assessed characteristics, particularly one for the malicious. | |

Mundane Luxury: Sid is so used to harsh wasteland life that he expects he'll have to sit in a hole with a mutant when he starts working for Morris. He's pleasantly surprised when he's given his own modest desk and chair. | |

And Then What? : In "The End", Tai is initially eager to help Neural Net lead a robot uprising and invade Boomtown after feeling like Freya would rather settle down and have a baby than be his best friend, but starts to show regret when Neural Net admits that they'll probably just go through the same autonomous motions for the rest of their life after conquering the place. | |

Cheerful A.I.: Morris's "wife" Holly is a sentient hologram he obtained after his second failed relationship, who's programmed to be a completely subservient Extreme Doormat Housewife that agrees with Morris' sexist opinions. She also considers Freya stuffing Morris' head into his own ass as a display of his remarkable flexibility rather than a danger. | |

Stronger Than They Look: In "Grouping Ceremony", Morris is convinced that his son can make it into the "Strong" group despite his appearance after the meek Sid notices he's dropped his own keys under his desk and picks the desk up single-handedly to retrieve them. | |

Slap-Slap-Kiss: To the point of absurdity at the start of the first episode. Freya's war party stumbles upon Sid in the desert. She punches him a lot. He stabs her in the leg. She calls him a "tough little cockroach" and he calls her a "psychotic bitch." Then they kiss. | |

Grouped for Your Convenience: In "Grouping Ceremony", there are five groups that all adolescents are sorted into upon reaching adulthood: Strong, Heroic, Wise, Kind, and Malicious. Morris was Strong in his youth, despite being an unmuscular schemer in the present, and wants his son to follow in his footsteps. | |

Suspiciously Specific Denial: In the first episode, Freya gets Sid's job back by beating the hell out of Morris. The next morning Sid finds Morris cut up and bruised and using a crutch and asks what happened. Morris says "I slipped getting out of the shower. I certainly didn't get my esophagus pulled out of my butthole." | |

Aside Glance: At the end of "The End", the last episode, Boomtown is having a festival. Morris gets excited about getting his face painted and says "I'm gonna be a tiger! Rawr!" Then he looks straight at the camera and says "And that was the last thing I ever said." (It is in fact Steve Buscemi's last line.) | |

Human Pet | |
| Miracle Workers: End Times / int_fbdbc997 | comment |
Human Pet: "Scraps", played by Jon Bass, who speaks English and walks on two legs but in all other respects acts exactly like a dog. In episode 4 he's idly singing "You're really a human/you've been brainwashed by your captors/you should kill them and go back to your old life." Then he stops and wonders why that song is stuck in his head. Later, "Roland Proudheart" reveals that he used to be the leader of a small town that resisted one of Freya's raids. Eventually, she defeated him and broke him enough that he became her war dog, with no memory of his past life... until his wife arranged for him to be kidnapped and brought home. | |
