And another turd courtesy HBO.


Garbage writing. No complexity. Every other word is fuck shit dick pussy. Everyone is a complete moron who thinks they’re a badass shtick. Yada yada.

Really wanted to like this because Walton Goggins is a great actor but can’t even make it that far.

They own 150 million in private jets but can’t afford a million to save their reputations when being blackmailed. Lol!!!

Have yet to laugh after the 1st 2 episodes despite the extremely creative writing of sticking dick shots in every episode. Wow that’s so funny.

Let’s hope they end the writers strike soon. AI could never touch this 3rd grade level “dark” comedy.

and to imagine, they kept his garbage on the air, and cancelled 'Winning Time'.

The greedy, stupid Trumpsters must've bribed HBO.....

Honestly, the only reason I watched this was because of Walton Goggins lol I don't care much for Danny McBride, but I watched this and Vice Principals and powered through the stupid stuff just because Goggins is in both of them.

I honestly assumed that it would be the excessive church talk that would annoy me the most with this one, but I agree, the unnecessary anatomy/sexual stuff was more obnoxious. Like it could be funny up to a point, maybe, but I feel like McBride always seems to write scripts that turn every dick and fart joke up to eleven, and it just ruins it completely.

I powered through this show mainly because of the few side characters that I liked or didn't completely hate, but I doubt I'll watch it again.
