I watched the first episode last night with no expectations and came away impressed. I laughed a lot and laughed very loudly at the ending scene. I grew up in Nevada and am Jewish, so I have no idea if the actual televangelist angle is accurate at all, but it does make for funny television.

Pilot was excellent. I was a little worried for the first ten minutes or so that the entire story would be about the siblings slap-fighting each other, but I should have known better after Vice Principals.

HanabaL03 posted:I watched the first episode last night with no expectations and came away impressed. Same here. Some good lols throughout. For the most part, the series was filmed in and around Charleston, SC. It's super weird recognizing multiple locations in just the first episode. The Gemstones' mega-church is the North Charleston Coliseum and where they all ate brunch is the former Liberty Tap Room in Mount Pleasant where my trivia team and I used to play every week. The upcoming prayer center they discussed building in Locust Grove was shot in a former Sears at the Citadel Mall. I work across the street from there so I was able to take some photos of the set dressing occasionally. Was never there at a time they were filming though.

The backing over of the second guy was so realistic and graphic and I can't remember the last time a comedy made me feel so horrified while laughing. Probably when they burned down Dr. Brown's house in Vice Principals. Warning: The above spoiler also has spoilers for Vice Principals.

Watched and adored Vice Principals, then went back through E&D. I loved the first episode of this, definitely didn't expect it to go where it did.

in my opinion the pilot suffered from a severe lack of walton goggins but I understand that this will be rectified in later episodes and otherwise it was good

The brass balls to name your son Pontious when you're a Reverend. Definitely getting the same "This could just as easily be a documentary" vibe I got with Silicon Valley.

Doggles posted:Same here. Some good lols throughout. I briefly worked at that mall as a (way too young to be legally employed) kid in the late 90s, at a hobby store my uncle managed. I knew I recognized it, although like, so many malls parse eerily similar to each other. Anyway I loved the pilot a ton. I think imo probably a stronger start than Vice Principals but not quite as funny out of the gate as EB&D.

Honestly I’m the most excited that Edi Paterson is in it, she was so amazing in Vice Principals.

Your Gay Uncle posted:Honestly I’m the most excited that Edi Paterson is in it, she was so amazing in Vice Principals. She basically got the part of the basis of how good she was in VPs. She as only meant to be a small character originally, but McBride and Hill gave her a much much bigger role because they liked her so much.

I really enjoyed the first episode. I didn't know Walton Goggins was in this so was very pleased to see him in the trailer. As someone who has grew up around the kinda hype-Christianity/megachurch thing, this show interested me on that alone. Not gonna lie, when I saw Goggins' character in the preview my first thought was "I wonder if they were trying to make him look like Jesse Duplantis?" (he's a somewhat well-known preacher from my neck of the woods). deathfalls fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Aug 23, 2019 |

Adam DeVine is really coming into his own as a comedic actor and its been a fun ride watching his projects.
