Vice Principals

Vice Principals is created by the same people who created Eastbound and Down and The Righteous Gemstones so if you like that kind of humor you'll love this too. Danny McBride and Walton Goggins co-star as vice principals at a High School when the principal retires. From there it's a hilarious power struggle between the two of them as they try to become the next head principal. They are so caught up in their war against each other they didn't see an English teacher who's also going for the job. They then put their struggle aside to form an alliance to bring down the English teacher by any means necessary. Bottom line is this show is hilarious and if you haven't yet seen it you're really missing out.

After the first episode, I thought I'd drop it really early, but it quickly grew up on me. Danny McBride brilliantly executed his version of Michael Scott - a character strongly mean to people around but the more you watch the more he opens up as a decent guy, which makes him so relatable. And the whole cast did a great job and every character was on their place. It was really heartwarming to see some reletionships develop through Neal Gamby's harsh demeanor. The show is captivating and funny with a few plot twists and ends with a nice touch. Can't wait to check out the next work of Danny McBride!

Oh how I wish there were more seasons of this show.

Neal Gamby (Danny McBride) is a vice principal at North Jackson High School in South Carolina. He is the disciplinarian of the school and not liked by the staff or the students. When the current principal retires early, he is desperate to get the job. His main competition is fellow vice principal Lee Russell (Walton Goggins). When the job goes to outsider Dr. Belinda Brown (Kimberly Hébert Gregory), the two rivals join forces against Brown. Neal is a divorced dad trying to maintain his connection to his daughter while pursuing sweet cute English teacher Amanda Snodgrass (Georgia King).

This is an HBO comedy. It starts off like a simple workplace sitcom with the outrageous Danny McBride comedy. Walton Goggins adds a wild foil to his character. I would suggest avoid showing a teen character's boobs in a sex scene. Otherwise, the first season is super great. It does end with a what-the-f cliffhanger. The second season takes that and runs with it. It runs all the way to its second season conclusion.

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!
