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!!

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 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.

I really hated this through the first four episodes. And I considered quitting it altogether, however I began to warm up to the storyline and its characters. Leslie Bibb's Satan is a riot and I loved the depiction of God as a grandmotherly nurse. Furthermore, its message that all faiths are equally right is refreshing considering how polarized the actual world feels. For that I give this a strong 6.

Good chemistry among a great ensemble cast. A little dopey, a lot charming, with enough laughs for me to keep watching. After one episode, I haven't yet seen any godly powers, unless traffic light luck and uncontrolled glowing count. More to come, I guess.
