Vice Principals

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!

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.

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

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.
