Why do the British do this better?
As a pastor from a family of Presbyterian pastors, we find this series brilliant, funny, honest, and faithful. (Not all clergy would agree with us of course!) The collection of characters are played for humor, but they are also *very* recognizable to those who work in urban ministry. Both Adam and Alex's marriage and Adam's faith are beautifully nuanced. This show is not always laugh-out-loud funny or perfect, but I have seen nothing like it in authenticity and complexity. So, I give it 5 stars.

Understated, complex, funny, never mean. And characters develop--for good and ill--with each episode. The Rev., especially, has, uh, more than one dimension.
Brilliant
I love this series. I believe it captures the depth of emotion and humor of the struggle to maintain faith in a cynical world.
