God's Favorite Idiot
Created by Ben Falcone
On Netflix
A high-spirited workplace comedy that pairs romantic warmth and human connection with absurdist divine intervention, treating apocalypse as a setup for jokes rather than dread.
Clark Thompson, a midlevel tech-support employee, finds love with co-worker Amily Luck at exactly the same time he becomes the unwitting messenger of God. Also, there's rollerskating, a lake of fire and an impending apocalypse.
