8/10
What I like about this hour long 30 Rock special is that even after seven years the writing and cast hasn't dropped a beat. The special feels like classic 30 Rock and is a stronger effort than the Parks and Rec special.
It helps that this unlike P+R has more camera work. The premise is still based on the characters contacting each other via social media and quarantining themselves, but the cast had more help from a limited on-set crew.
There were a couple parts that weren't perfect. I've never been the biggest Jenna Maloney (played by Jane Krakowski) fan, I found her jokes here to be particularly stale and obvious here. Also, there is a character called Vivian or something like that who just doesn't work.
I've seen complaints that this is too much of an advertisement for NBC's new streaming service Peacock. I won't deny that, but considering that 30 Rock always poked fun at corporate synergy and NBC and is being obvious about it's own commercialism, I won't hold it against them. I mean it was a pretty clever way to get me to watch commercials for the new NBC shows.
Overall, I highly recommend this for fans of the show.
