But as Danny McBride has pointed out, he and Jody Hill knew what they were doing when they wrote Vice Principals, and everything that happens works to serve the point that Gamby and Russell are terrible people – one far more so than the other – that no one should really be rooting for; they’re just the ones carrying the story.
That’s not the most common way to craft a TV show, so an uncommon way to put it together makes sense.
A lovely side of humility coming from the man who is also Kenny Powers.
Vice Principals already isn’t a show that’s going to be for everyone, given its profane and ribald nature, and free from narrative context, it’s not so surprising that a TV show about two Southern white men trying to ruin the life of a black woman would make people fussy.
