Good idea poorly done. Just not funny. I got almost to the end of episode 5, despite my doubts all the way through. I like to give a show a chance and I was hoping it would improve. Ridiculous cartoon characters throughout. Nobody is realistic at all; just caricatures going through the motions reciting a dreadfully unfunny script written by people who, apparently, haven't a clue about "funny".
Simon Bird, with his moronic bowl haircut, dreadfully overacts, and looks demented. How can anyone take this show seriously? It is preposterous. I know there are a lot of "religious" sects with nonsensical beliefs that prevent them living joyous, fulfilling lives. I suppose a series could be made highlighting their far-fetched ideas with humour and (what is needed) sarcasm, but this isn't it. Let alone did I not laugh, I didn't even smile. I groaned. I rolled my eyes.
I suppose the (SPOILER) scene of mom throwing up in Andrew's treasured memorial to his wife is supposed to elicit howls of laughter. Maybe if you're in pre-school and think vomit is funny, otherwise, no. And that's when I turned it off. No more wasting time with this nonsense; clearly it is NEVER going to get funny as there's only one episode left. I am happy to miss it. I don't know why I'm even giving it three. The only sane character is Rachel's boyfriend. Everyone else is delusional, misguided, gullible and, in the case of the dad, a raging narcissist. Not much to laugh at there!
