UGH! I could barely make it through episode one without turning it off. I really wish American TV would leave these foreign sitcoms alone and not try and remake them for American audiences!! They work in their country for a reason! They do not translate well at all!

Shows like "The Office," "Miranda" (which is the awful American show "Call Me Kat," and now this show which is trying so hard to copy the characters from "This Country." What doesn't work here are the actors. They are not comedic actors or writers. The writers are probably not from small rural cities either because the writers used all the stereotypes of what "Hollywood" expect people from small rural towns to act/look like.

The writers got zero of the small American town nuances, regional slang, regional dialects, and they did not use locals in the filming.

Think about shows like "Letterkenny" and how they go about showcasing the cultures within their small rural Canadian communities and you'll know what I mean...or...just go and watch "This Country" and enjoy that instead of trying to enjoy this.

More things that ruined it for me: The show was filmed mostly in areas within North Carolina where a lot of Hollywood shows have been made. I swore I saw some sets that I have seen in other American shows like Gossip Girl or the like.

I cannot really see Sean Williams Scott as a vicar due to his unfortunate type-casting from his American Pie days. I really wish this would have been done better. It's just lazy now how American sitcoms are being made. Really lazy.
