Synopsis

Good God is a Canadian television comedy-drama series which premiered in April 2012 on HBO Canada. The show follows the life of character George Findlay, a role that Ken Finkleman reprised from The Newsroom and subsequent television projects. The series was originally slated to be the second season of Finkleman's previous HBO Canada project Good Dog, but was retitled in accordance with a change in the show's setting. The show was described in early media coverage as having been inspired in part by the launch of Sun News Network. In the show's first episode, for example, Findlay is forced to respond to allegations that his new venture is aspiring to be "Fox News North", an epithet which the real Sun News Network also faced both before and after its launch. The series was nominated for several awards at the 2013 Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Comedy Series, Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Jason Weinberg and Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series nods for both Samantha Bee and Jud Tylor.

Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
olymadam This show is a perfect example of sarcastic, well written, mockumentary-style television. Fair warning - if you listen to Beck or Limbaugh, this show is probably not for you. It centers around George Findlay, a cynical, selfish (and incidentally Jewish) TV producer who is given the job of running a Christian, right-wing TV network (Right News) by his girlfriends rich, ultra-conservative father. But the show isn't just about mocking the conservative right and their take on the news - it also fabulously lampoons workplace politics and relationships. The push for sensational news is universal no matter what network, and Right News is no exception. The characters are well defined and hilarious - from the perfect Christian woman with an addiction to porn to the egotistical news anchor who thinks sexual harassment is something made up by leftist conspirators. I highly recommend it!
