Yeah but it has to be wrong. The previews imply they are in the entire series.

I only laughed at the very end of the episode.

Was not as funny as I expected

I enjoyed it. There was a ton of setup this week. I expect funnier shite going forward.

I was impressed. Think it has a lot of potential

I did too. Beginning to end was very enjoyable. I didn't care for the sister but maybe her role gets better. The former satanic, live-in buddy/boy friend, has an excellent mullet and is destined for some weird stuff.

If you like Danny McBride, you will like this show, because once again he's playing Danny McBride.

Have it recorded, so still need to watch it, but isn't she the crazy woman trying to date Danny McBride in Vice Principals?

If so, it takes some time getting used to her

So is it more making fun of Christians in general or a parody of the Joel Osteen megachurch televangelists who are just shysters using religion for their personal financial gain?

only one episode so far but its the latter. Although a bit of an implication that the people who tithe for them are rubes (which is correct)

If you weren't in tears the entire time they were in the home theater with McBride standing in front of the screen with the fat/little dick guy paused and trying to give a serious speech, I don't know what to tell ya.

Spoilers if anyone cares...

The theater room scene, church lunch scene, bathroom scene with the weapons, and the last 20 minutes were funny as hell.

I died when he ran the other guy down in reverse in the Range Rover.

First episode was excellent. Loved the pump fake slap with the right.

Kelvin's ex-devil worshiper friend is great too

So glad Walton Goggins is coming on this show. It's already great, but to add him is just wonderful

Do you think the devil has already been shown? I think it's gonna be Gideon, the oldest son that ran off

Same here. The accents came and went. They overdid it with phrases like "the YouTubes".

It's okay, but HBO has done much better.

I enjoyed the first episode, but the accents threw me off a little. John Goodman's was pretty good, McBride's was decent, but Adam DeVine's was noticeably awful.

Damn... didnt even think of that, that would be insane.

That reminded me of the scene where Jesse kisses his son Pontious (why the frick would they name him that lmao) and he just wakes up and yells "fa****" i was rolling on the ground laughing

I was thinking him or Kelvin's ex-devil worshiper friend just because of how weird he is and is always around.

Hopefully it's just a new character to be revealed at the end and be in season 2 because Gideon just seems too obvious
