I have to say The Good Lord Bird wasn't what I was expecting. Not in a bad way, it's a very good show, I just wasn't expecting it to be so funny. I was expecting a drama filled story with plenty of violence and it was those things too but it's also funny. As always, Ethan Hawke was fantastic here and was nominated for a bunch of awards for his performance. Hawke is great in just about everything he does but this might be his best performance of his career (outside of Training Day). This show wouldn't be the same without him. The series has gotten great reviews by pretty much everyone as it currently has a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's only a 7 episode miniseries so you can binge through it pretty quick and I recommend you do.
