Vice Principals

The first season of Vice Principals is quite short but I'm already hooked on this excellent comedy. Season two can't come fast enough. The humor in this series might not be for everyone but to me it's excellent. I don't know what it is with Danny McBride as Neal Gamby. Is it his hair, his mustache or his facial expressions in general but as soon as I see him I have to laugh. The combination of Danny McBride and Walton Goggins is a perfect match. Those two are running the show and it's a delight to watch. Georgia King as Amanda Snodgrass is also a delight to watch. As well for her acting as her very good looks. The language might be over the limit for a lot of stuck-up people but I think this is the best part of the show. I honestly can't wait for season two to begin and I hope it will continue like this for a long time. I'm a fan!

Danny McBrside is a funny dude and Walton Goggins is just a fantastic villain (and snappy dresser.) That brunette chick is off the hook too.

Here's the thing, Danny McBride's comedy is very much down to individual taste. In much the same way as Ricky Gervais's material it is meant to shock, make you cringe, make you laugh out loud and usually, in the end, make you realise that there can be moments of redemption for even the most self centred, unlikeable characters.

The interplay in this between McBride and Goggins is brilliant. Goggins's insults drip with a hilarious straightforward honesty towards McBride's Gamby whilst McBride is happy to play second fiddle in the interchanges. The begrudged respect that develops between the characters at times is then all the more heartwarming.

Simply put, if you liked East Bound and Down you will like Vice Principals. If you like Vice Principals and haven't seen East Bound and Down then make it next on your list - you'll love it. For all the people that don't like the show, that's OK too, it just means that this will become a cult classic.

I watched this right after having watched The Righteous Gemstones, which was an OK show. Vice Principals was funnier. Just like The Righteous Gemstone, the first season is better than the second.

Danny McBride does his usual shtick which he is very good at, but it's a little one note with him playing the exact same character in every show. Edi Patterson is just as funny (and crazy) as she is in The Righteous Gemstones. But the one who truly shines is Mr. Cletus Van Damme himself, Walton Goggins.

I thought Vice Principals was absolutely hilarious! Danny McBride and Walton Goggins are two of the most underrated comedians in Hollywood. They're both at the top of their game in this. I promise that you'll laugh out loud several times per episode. The only bad thing about this show is that it only went for two seasons. It wasn't canceled, it was written only as a two seasons series so it doesn't end on some cliffhanger. It has a very satisfying ending. You have to give it a few episodes as they build the story the first few episodes but after you past that it's hilarious for the rest of its run. This is a show that is even better if you binge watch it.
