Slate

"The early episodes are a combination of a sendup of megachurch Christianity and a bumbling caper comedy; the fact that grief is the show’s central concern is only slowly revealed," says Jack Hamilton, adding: "There’s an incisive critique of evangelical patriarchy here. But just as provocative is what the show has to say about how the loss of Aimee-Leigh has upended the lives of the people around her."
