I decided to start watching this on a whim, and I'm now one episode away from finishing the second season.

The show was created by, stars, and was partially written by Danny McBride and is about a wealthy family which runs an evangelical megachurch. I was initially worried it was just going to be a one-note repeat of "look at how awful these megachurch people are", and while the show has plenty of that, it also makes the main characters likeable (even the really awful people like a washed up megachurch pastor played to a tee by Walton Goggins somehow have you occasionally rooting for them) and has plots that are engaging and weird. After having recently struggled through season 2 of Severance, finding a show which introduces, expands, and importantly ties up plot points at a consistent pace is refreshing.

The show is in its forth and final season. I personally find it to be a good thing when a show is able to gracefully end rather than stretching with muddled filler seasons.
