As we are fans of Danny McBride and Eastbound and Down, Vice Principals is not too similar, though there are many differences. Vice Principals plays off as relatively the same tone and overall comedy aspect seen in Eastbound and Down. Watching this series from the beginning of the year, January 2018 - February 2018, it relatively feels quickly. The show is greatly lead from comic performance from both leads Danny McBride and Walton Goggins as they carry the show. Both seasons are different as the film doesn't take much time to adjust. It begins right from the start and is great within the first few episodes.The ending of season 2 comes with great territory. Overall Vice Principals delivers what its intended into. Though it is disappointing knowing the series ends at only 2 seasons as we won't see more, as the end of season 2 leaves with somewhat of a cliff hanger.

NO SPOILERSthis show is freaking brilliant. some people might disagree with me, but i see the logic behind it, and the comedy suits my taste. i really hope they will ignore the bad reviews (that honestly, have no real argument behind why the show is bad) and keep making more seasons. ill even go further to say that the show is intelligent in its own way. just for the record, i loved "the office", "peep show" and many many more comedy shows.

Two diametrically opposite vice principals compete for the job as principal due to the retirement of Bill Murray because his wife has deadly melanoma cancer. Neal Gamby is one of the vice principals. He wears clip on ties and it crude and intolerant. Lee Russell is more refined as we see him wearing a bow tie and red pants. He is married, but everyone suspects him of being gay. When Dr. Belinda Brown (Kimberly Hebert Gregory) gets the job, our odd couple for an alliance to oust her. The series goes off on a lot of tangents. As for the course classroom topics reflect what is on the screen and adults mimic the same issues as teens and handle them in the same immature fashion. In spite of what is good s\writing for a TV program, much of the comedy is uneven, and the second episode spent way too much time on the vandalism and fire scene. We get them attempting to be incognito driving a Student Driver car, with the sun glasses, but it didn't come across funny primarily because the actors couldn't pull it off as a John Goodman could,,,who BTW would be perfect for the Neal Gamby role. Bill Murray gone in the first episode, Celia Weston after two. Too much is placed on Danny McBride.Belinda Brown is made fun of because of her gender and weight, but never race. Not realistic, but acceptable for HBO.Guide: F-word, sex, and nudity.

Watching egos clash and then ultimately burning is the major dynamic in this show. Always a perfectly timed joke right around every corner, each with it's own individual level of originality and raunchiness that will leave your face hurting from all the laughter after each episode. Great series all together. I always enjoy Danny McBride's style of comedy, while others may not, they may not understand it is a joke being told and not to take it so seriously. This series seems like what East Bound & Down tried to achieve ultimately, while EB&D was hilarious, Vice Principals tops it and all the TV comedies out currently.
