Typical Danny McBride project. A few hilarious lines but overall hasn't been that strong so far.

I didn't think last nights episode was all that funny. The show is good though, I'm definitely enjoying it.


Pretty much where I’m at right now. Thought the comedy would pick up in episode 2, but it really didn’t. I was really pumped for this show, but it has just been ok in my opinion.

Theo Vonn must’ve been unavailable to play the satan worshiper buddy

Watched it last night. Kind of similiar to the 1st episode. Not Eastbound and Down or Vice Principles funny yet but it had its moments.

I was cracking up when ol boy recorded his message with the devil mask on. "I want 2 million. And if you dont, *in deep/growling voice* I WILL KILL YOU." They were like "thats not good, your voice sounds like a parody of itself."

Edi Patterson is great in this as well.

And Kelvin's friend.. "I'd kill myself if you asked me to."

"I know.. you tell me that a lot"

Danny McBride’s stuff does generally look better in a trailer or a 3 minute YouTube clip than on an actual series.

So far I’m not too impressed with it. Vice Principals started off better. I think we finally get Goggins next week.

What other stuff was better in the trailer than the actual show?

This week was a bit more even, but the impending reveal of the prodigal son was painfully obvious.

"Scotty" is basically another Danny McBride. I could see McBride playing that role exactly as the current actor is doing it.

That testicle shot came out of nowhere. Has me rethinking that roommate situation.

I’m only a little bit into episode 2 so far but I enjoy it. It’s so funny seeing the Coliseum dressed up as their church. I’ve driven by that Rymtyme hundreds of times (there are actually 2 of them about a mile and change apart).

I may go out and take some photos of some of their filming locations.

I feel like I'm watching a different show than most of y'all. I am really enjoying it and I thought episode 2 as hilarious.

Episode 3 was the best one yet. Baby Billy is an awesome addition. The ending with the small hand

McBride was on one of the late night talk shows and said he was trying to match Euphoria.

They said there's a penis in every episode.

I absolutely love Mcbride's work, but this show is terrible. Could not make it through the pilot.

Pretty silly to give up on any show due to the pilot

This first half was all set up. If you didn't make it to the 40 minute mark, you should go back and try it again. As soon as they get to the family lunch all hell breaks loose and it's 20 minutes of nonstop laughter.
