My Way or the Highway to Heaven

Cancel the show already. It's just sad... Now The Simpsons has a religious agenda? Give up.

Finally season 30 has started and I was ecstatic, the series started off very strong but took an absolute nose dive when it came to episode 3. After over 2 decades of watching the show this is by far the most lacking episode, there was no good story line, no good jokes and it was just purely a lazy episode. This episode pandered to the simplest of audiences, with over 600 episodes of the Simpsons not doing a fully religious episode this seemed to be a recruitment for Christianity. Throughout the 30 seasons religion has been a big part of life in Springfield but this episode was just absolutely horrendous.

A laugh out loud moment to start with at the Bob's Burgers reference, but it quickly went downhill. The star rating refers to this.

A Ned backstory? They already gave him (a much better one) many years prior. This episode seemed totally unnecessary. The episode POV from God and St Peter was preachy and boring as hell. Do they really need so many "church" episodes?

One redeeming feature was Moe kissing the fish. That gave me a chuckle. Although I was trying to work out if it was a (very outdated) parody of Inglorious Basterds? 10 years late and barely amusing.

I've seen every episode of the Simpsons and this is one of the poorest efforts I can remember. A completely ridiculous premise for an anthology episode. I think maybe its time for the Springfield gang to wrap it up.

It's a worthwhile topic this episode addresses, and the message is welcome, but it's very straightforward. Much as you expect from Zombie Simpsons. I might have laughed once. I just finished watching and I don't even remember.
