God's Favorite Idiot

An ordinary man who works in an office is blessed by gods light in his back garden.

This is the basic premise of the show, from here we follow the lead who is a simple man of simple needs ( not really an idiot ) and his coworkers in the his office job abound a religious journey.

Its a fairly basic sitcom that draws certain paralells with the office but not in fun and humour.

The jokes are a bit thin and its more of an expedited humour affair.

The only person I have recognised so far is Melissa Mcarthey who is not the titular lead but certainly takes on front and centre.

Overall its an interesting concept that lacks great humour and uses crazy events to find its fun.

There are however some nice sweet undertones to the show which I'm sure many will enjoy.

6/10.

It is pretty easy: If you rate this one low, you have no heart.

"God's Favorite Idiot" is surprisingly sincere, and it gets more interesting in every episode.

This is not a workplace comedy, although it starts as one.

The world needs some good-hearted fun and healing, so enjoy the ride and hopefully Netflix will finish it.

I ignored all the IMBD review snobs and watched for myself. I really found this show to be original and fun. I think it was exactly what I expected this type of show to be.

I get the appeal of this. The concept seems fun and it's light hearted. The characters don't pop out as like overly annoying to me. But the overall delivery for me was just quite bland. It just didn't hit the notes. Sometimes I feel like oh yeah this scene is funny but then they stretch it out and it just loses the appeal of it...so before I even go ha ha it just dies.

If you're curious just check out the whole of first ep. If you like it then you'd like this because the overall tune is just same to me with hits and misses all over.

A LOT better than many TV shows being released these days. Only complaint is that it was too short, didn't have a fulfilling ending, and is not very likely to get renewed.
