About
"Blasphemous road trip comedy with real teeth"
A disillusioned Texas preacher gets fused with a mysterious cosmic entity that gives him the power to make anyone obey his voice. Joined by his trigger-happy ex-girlfriend and a hard-drinking Irish vampire, he sets off to literally hunt down God, who has gone missing. The show is gleefully violent, profane, and surreal, swinging between splatstick comedy and genuine pathos. It moves in odd, unhurried bursts rather than a tight plot engine, favoring bizarre set pieces and pitch-black humor over conventional pacing, so patience with tonal whiplash pays off more than plot-chasing does.
Watch it for
the gonzo trio dynamic and gleeful willingness to go absurdly, violently off the rails.
Maybe skip if
you need tight plotting or are squeamish about graphic violence and religious irreverence.
