    Easy and Funny Watching

    I saw this on PRIME and thought it was new....sadly it is not and it ends with a total cliffhanger and no season 3. I liked it. Is it genius TV? No, but it is easy to watch and had some good laughs.

    Unfinished

    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?

    Funny enough for me

    I have to admit I was a bit skeptical when I saw it was on TV-Land. Even the good ratings on IMDb don't mean much to me because there are plenty of examples where I totally disagree with the ratings. But that's fine because everybody is entitled to his own opinion. Nevertheless I was surprised by Impastor, and even pleasantly surprised. Impastor is a series that will make you laugh unless you have no sense of humor at all. As an atheist I even enjoyed it more because I know there will be some tight-up religious people that will get offended by this mild humor. Michael Rosenbaum is funny to watch. His character as the fake gay pastor has enough potential to keep this show going for several seasons. Hopefully they do because we all need a bit of laughter every now and then.

    Take with a Generous Laugh!

    Original and Funny; Impastor airs Wednesday evenings on TV Land. Actor, Executive Producer Michael Rosenbaum poses as the main character who is a gay Lutheran Pastor. Most of the cast including him I haven't seen before but they enrich his entertaining performance. Theater, film and television actor David Rasche as the uptight Aiden Schmidt is perhaps the most familiar as he was in the sitcom Sledge Hammer. He has appeared in many shows over his long career. Growing up Lutheran many of the stories and characters ring right and are drawn with delightful exaggeration. In this day and age of a very present LGBT ambiance it's important to give viewers the credibility of gay characters regardless if they are serious or funny. Impastor succeeds in spades.

    No doubt- it's the best comedy of 2015.

    this show has extremely funny and crazy plot. the acting is superb, especially Michael rosenbaum (lex Luther of "smallvile") that show us a great comic ability.

    the craziness of impastor reminds me the show "my name is earl", (althought it's way better).

    many high-concept-sitcoms started this year. comedies with ongoing plot, like the last man on earth, unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, galavant, etc. i believe that impastor is now the best show of this sub-genre.

    in age when every half-hour dramas with one silly joke per episode pretend to be "comedy", it's refreshing to see show that have many laughs.

    i found this show last week, tried the first episode, and just found myself binging the first 6 episodes. too bad it's on TV-land, so most people never heard of, or under impression that this show is like TV land's other crap. also, it's ashame that TV land didn't promoted this great show as it should be.

    in conclusion: do yourself a favor and try to watch the best current comedy show.
