God's Favorite Idiot (2022)

I decided to watch this despite seeing a bunch of negative reviews because I like Melissa McCarthy. She is so good at comedy she can sometimes make me want to watch something that is not very good.

This show is not great. The first two episodes left me hoped as there were laugh out loud moments and just enough good writing to keep me interested. The next two episodes undid all that good work, and I am not even quite sure exactly why. It lost its edge a bit, trying to expand the plot too much, I believe. I won’t go into details now, as at east one of them as a sort of plot twist and it won’t help you enjoy the show if I give stuff away.

It went downhill enough that I have decided to pause watching the show for the moment. Perhaps I will go back to it, perhaps not.
