God's Favorite Idiot

I love Melissa McCarthy and I appreciate her husband, Ben Falcone. BTW - he can sing! AND don't forget our favorite Gilmore Girls Frenchman, Yanic Truesdale (really a French Canadian).

This is a simple comedy with some slapstick added.

Do yourself a favor and don't take it at all seriously . All you have to do is observe McCarthy on the motorized 'thingy' and you can tell that this is not high art.

It's fun. It's silly. Personally, it did my soul good, after a crap week, I got to laugh and not care what anyone thought. YAY!!

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.

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 think people are being way too critical. It's a fun comedy, and I really recommend giving it a try. It's also really nice to see a show with actors in a variety of shapes, sizes, and nationalities.

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.
