Beware - series ends on a cliff hanger; there is no conclusion.
And now I have to add words because my review is too short.
Still too short.
Wow, what is wrong with a short review?

Nice Sitcom by TV Land ,, and honestly i kinda expected it to be the minute i knew it's a TV Land series ,, they are getting a near 100% success on their Sitcoms in the last 5 years.
The Idea of the series is new and genuinely fresh, the plot is perfectly flowing ,, and the comedy is organised, direct and so spot on . and sure presenting a dangerously stressed out fast comedy by "Buddy" is really laughable and worth giving attention to..all of these tangled scams he makes !!! i literally could watch a whole season in one day and not even pause for a second.
The casting is good, Michael Rosenbaum is really funny haven't seen him on TV since "Breaking In" three years ago and he's known from "Smallville" but in the movie industry he wasn't that active "thank god for that" so we could see him here.. Sara Rue, Mircea Monroe, David Rasche and everyone in the cast they all had an applaudable pilot.
Overall,, as the pilot went fine and here i'm also done with the second episode and it is staying strongly on the same level of hilariousness , so i'm expecting a really boosting season with great possibility of renewal for a multi-seasons.

So, TV Land? Michael Rosenbaum? Lutheran pastor? Meh. I don't think so. Or do I... So I was just browsing the IMDb the other day looking for some new comedy and I stumbled upon Impastor. The premise sounded OK but the rest I wasn't so sure about. Being from the generation for which Smallville was defining TV show (not me personally though) I was quite familiar with Rosenbaum and I have to say I didn't like the guy. Watching the trailer left me hesitant but having nothing else to watch I tried it. And loved it! Rosenbaum is cool and funny but ultimately a bit dumb and simple (which is a good thing), David Rasche is charming, the rest is fine as well (loved the two cops). The writing quality is steady and the story is well paced. Please renew!
Impastor is one of my most favorite TV shows these days. I love all the characters and they are doing a mighty awesome job. The script, the acting and the characters are brilliant to say the least. Michael Rosenbaum, Sara Rue, Mircea Monroe etc every one is doing justice to their roles in the best way possible.
It's always funny to see Michael Rosenbaum trying to run away when he fears he is going to get caught but at the end he gets away easily. It's a must watch comedy show if you like comedy.
I am a huge fan of comedy shows/sitcoms and Impastor is one of those shows i would be sad to see ending in the future.
P.S: I hope this show doesn't get cancelled.

I decided to give it 9 out of 10 because it only had 2 seasons & needed more.
The only shame about the show was it was cancelled after season 2 ( especially on a cliff hanger, as every show that is cancelled should be given 6 more episodes to tie up storylines & give the loyal viewing audience closure of the characters ). The Hollywood reporter quote; "TV Land is parting ways with Impastor. The single-camera comedy starring Michael Rosenbaum has been canceled after two seasons on the Viacom-owned cable network." NOW IF I SEE SOMETHING FROM "TV LAND or VIACOM I THINK TO MYSELF THESE ORGANISATIONS DO NOT REALLY CARE ABOUT THE CONSUMER, JUST THE BOTTOM LINE. NETWORKS AND COMPANIES NEED TO BUILD THEIR BRANDS BY PROVING THEY CAN BE TRUSTED TO GIVE CLOSURE ON THEIR TV SHOWS... as no problem if you need to cancel a show but do it in the right way as give the show 6+ more episodes to thank the loyal audience please.
If anyone wants a great new show then buy the rights to "impastor" if you can get the main actors on board, as this is a potential hit show if it is marketed correctly as after watching 2 seasons of this comedy I can tell you it is a truly great show.
