Impastor is one of my most favorite TV shows these days. I love all the characters and they are doing a mighty awesome job. The script, the acting and the characters are brilliant to say the least. Michael Rosenbaum, Sara Rue, Mircea Monroe etc every one is doing justice to their roles in the best way possible.
It's always funny to see Michael Rosenbaum trying to run away when he fears he is going to get caught but at the end he gets away easily. It's a must watch comedy show if you like comedy.
I am a huge fan of comedy shows/sitcoms and Impastor is one of those shows i would be sad to see ending in the future.
P.S: I hope this show doesn't get cancelled.

Original and Funny; Impastor airs Wednesday evenings on TV Land. Actor, Executive Producer Michael Rosenbaum poses as the main character who is a gay Lutheran Pastor. Most of the cast including him I haven't seen before but they enrich his entertaining performance. Theater, film and television actor David Rasche as the uptight Aiden Schmidt is perhaps the most familiar as he was in the sitcom Sledge Hammer. He has appeared in many shows over his long career. Growing up Lutheran many of the stories and characters ring right and are drawn with delightful exaggeration. In this day and age of a very present LGBT ambiance it's important to give viewers the credibility of gay characters regardless if they are serious or funny. Impastor succeeds in spades.
Nice Sitcom by TV Land ,, and honestly i kinda expected it to be the minute i knew it's a TV Land series ,, they are getting a near 100% success on their Sitcoms in the last 5 years.
The Idea of the series is new and genuinely fresh, the plot is perfectly flowing ,, and the comedy is organised, direct and so spot on . and sure presenting a dangerously stressed out fast comedy by "Buddy" is really laughable and worth giving attention to..all of these tangled scams he makes !!! i literally could watch a whole season in one day and not even pause for a second.
The casting is good, Michael Rosenbaum is really funny haven't seen him on TV since "Breaking In" three years ago and he's known from "Smallville" but in the movie industry he wasn't that active "thank god for that" so we could see him here.. Sara Rue, Mircea Monroe, David Rasche and everyone in the cast they all had an applaudable pilot.
Overall,, as the pilot went fine and here i'm also done with the second episode and it is staying strongly on the same level of hilariousness , so i'm expecting a really boosting season with great possibility of renewal for a multi-seasons.

this show has extremely funny and crazy plot. the acting is superb, especially Michael rosenbaum (lex Luther of "smallvile") that show us a great comic ability.
the craziness of impastor reminds me the show "my name is earl", (althought it's way better).
many high-concept-sitcoms started this year. comedies with ongoing plot, like the last man on earth, unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, galavant, etc. i believe that impastor is now the best show of this sub-genre.
in age when every half-hour dramas with one silly joke per episode pretend to be "comedy", it's refreshing to see show that have many laughs.
i found this show last week, tried the first episode, and just found myself binging the first 6 episodes. too bad it's on TV-land, so most people never heard of, or under impression that this show is like TV land's other crap. also, it's ashame that TV land didn't promoted this great show as it should be.
in conclusion: do yourself a favor and try to watch the best current comedy show.

Beware - series ends on a cliff hanger; there is no conclusion.
And now I have to add words because my review is too short.
Still too short.
Wow, what is wrong with a short review?
