Funny you should say that, because I feel like that is exactly what it
Sure, the plot’s different, characters are different, but it’s fucking Eastbound & Down (only with religion!) just like Vice Principals was more-or-less Eastbound & Down (in a School!).
I’ll watch it, and I have been, but the humor is the same, and the writing hasn't evolved much. Surprise, Danny McBride is not the Coen Bros.
Oh well. It will be funny for 2-3 seasons before there’s a year absence between it and Eastbound & Down In Space or whatever, in which Danny McBride plays a southern moron astronaut who wants to be good at his job but isn’t, and hilarity ensues ...
