Watchseries; This show is just bad. I mean really, really bad. Her husband can't act, the supporting actors are pointless and seem to be there to try and add humor, but it fails miserably. The whole show is a mess. I gave it 3 stars because I will always adore Melissa McCarthy. Her husband may be super nice and a moderately good writer, but Melissa is so much better than this. Just an embarrassment.

God's Favorite Idiot watchseries. Please ignore the useless reviews below that are trying to base a whole series on 10 minutes of watching it. Seriously, this is nothing new, some shows take a few episodes to build the plot, it does get a whole lot better and there is a point behind all the madness, crudeness, and ridiculousness in the beginning which wasn't that bad. I like it, it has a good message to deliver. And some really funny parts. It's nice to have something decent and easy to watch for a change. I really like all the characters, the actors are pretty good. I can't wait for more episodes. I like that they work together and can still have great chemistry, after so long and spending so much time together. To see 2 people genuinely enjoy each other's company is utterly refreshing. All the craziness you see in the beginning, is toned down as the episodes go along. So just give it a real chance. Don't be the reason why another good show gets canceled only for 2 or 3 years later people actually take the time to watch it and love it and wonder why it was ever canceled and start requesting that it gets another season.
Another dismal vanity project. If paid by the word, they've hit the jackpot. If paid by the laughs then no one's going to the bank. Rapid fire word salads,back and forth, going nowhere. Especially nowhere near a joke. This reminds me of Mike Myers Pentaverate. The ego has left the writer thinking everything is comedy gold and the actor relishes every line they've created. Just more dull stuff from Netflix.
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.
Why does Melissa McCarthy continue to work with her husband in dismal material. She is so talented but this mess will continue to end a career. This is just not funny.
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.
