This is pure magic. The writers, scenes and actors move in perfect sync. Everything about this show is top shelf quality. I think the parts where they are kinda sorta mocking Christians and kinda sorta not sre very well done. You're showing the hard and soft and it's a beautiful melody. Lastly, by the time they showed momma dying, I was already fully empathized in sync with the characters, so I almost had a full tear drop in my eye by the time the jokes started flying.
