TLDR
With Gamby and Russel, never has there been a more memorable love-hate workplace duo since The Office.
What it's about
Co-vice-principals Neal Gamby (Danny McBride) and Lee Russell (Walton Goggins) vie for the recently vacated principal position, but they’ll have to go through several obstacles—not least, each other—before getting there.
The take
Things get pretty dark pretty fast in Vice Principals, which I suppose is to be expected from any Danny McBride and Jody Hill creation (the duo is behind shows like The Righteous Gemstones and Eastbound & Down). But if you can sit through its deep cynicism, then Vice Principals proves to be a ferociously funny show. McBride and Goggins are great physical comedians by themselves, but together, riffing off of each other’s hater energy, they’re glorious. They’re like The Office’s Jim and Dwight if they actually acted on their impulsive R-rated thoughts. It’s also just hilarious to see teachers and school administrators be their righteously angry, potty-mouthed selves for a change.
What stands out
He’s already the second lead, but I genuinely believe the show could’ve used more Goggins.
