All great. Too funny and a super show to binge. Walton can do anything. Only down side is Busy. She can only play one character, just in different situations.

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!

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.

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.
