Vice Principals (HBO)

Post by Jammer XCI »

How is there no topic for this show either? :shock:

Show is fucking hilarious, Gamby and Russell are the funniest sociopaths on TV right now.

I like this show a lot. It's dark and often absurd and the actors are all great. The credits sequences also really float my boat for some reason.

Just finished it.

This series is a masterpiece. Danny McBride and Walton Goggins are the best thing that happen to mankind since its existence. Im going to miss this so much.

i like that this was a few 80s movies tropes thrown together, but with the adults being the main characters.

This and Curb are probably my favorite things I'm watching right now. Just finished VP last night, sad to see it go, but glad it never really had a chance to start sucking.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Its different from E&D...but its right up there. Its very very good and the second season is priceless.

I think this one actually has more heart to it, but less humor.
yeah, it has more heart. Its an impressive proyect for McBride as an actor.

Season 2 is brilliant. Its funny, its fucked up and it has a lot of heart. Amazing.
