Rev. is a British television series, which aired on BBC Two. The series recently ended its run on April the 28th of 2014, but that doesn’t mean we still can’t catch up with this hilarious take on the life of a Vicar. The show, which is created by James Wood and Tom Hollander, actually stars Hollander in the leading role, as Adam Smallbone, who is a Church of England priest. He is relocated to a small church, within the inner city of London.

The series is filled with an excellent, outlandish cast, including Jimmy Akingbola as Mick, who always seems to show up at Adam’s doorstep all hours of the day and night. Throughout the first season, Mick never attends the church, but makes for some of the season’s best moments. Colin Lambert, who is played by In the Flesh’s Steve Evets, is also a fun character. He insists on spending all of his time at the church, not only because he idolizes Adam, but he is also homeless and has nowhere else to go. As for Adoha Onyeka (Ellen Thomas), there isn’t anyone, who is more dedicated to Adam and his church.

Among his other parishioners, Adam works alongside his assistant, Nigel McCall (Miles Jupp), while he is always reprimanded by Archdeacon Robert (Simon McBurney). Ellie Pattman (Lucy Liemann) works at the local religious school and offers a bit of distraction for Adam, while also getting him into a bit of trouble, with his wife, Alex (Olivia Colman).

Overall, the first seasons didn’t necessarily maintain an overall plot, as each episode seemed to differ from the next, but it didn’t matter at all. The episodes were entertainingly hilarious enough to make up for the changing scenarios. Of course, the series was packed with funny moments, but it also offered a few depressing scenes. Tom Hollander, who is likely best known for his comedic performance in the Pirates of the Caribbean and his more recent dramatic achievement in A Poet in New York, fits the role perfectly. Despite all of Adam Smallbone’s flaws, it is difficult not to hold some compassion for the confused Vicar.

If you’re up for some fun laughs and aren’t overwhelmingly against political incorrectness, this is definitely a show worth checking out. The first season deserves a 7.5.
