Season 1 Review:
The dad stuff may hit home for many viewers. But what’ll definitely stand out to comedy fans is Birbiglia’s description of his invitation to join Jim Gaffigan, Chris Rock, Conan O’Brien and other comedians on a trip to the Vatican last summer to meet Pope Francis. There’s fun to be had just in learning more about this. But the comedian also takes this moment to hammer home how his views of the church differed from those of his parents, and how he’ll still zing the Catholics for their multi-generation molestation scandal

Season 1 Review:
The climax involves a fight with his father over a political joke Birbiglia told. .... The show is about coming to grips with this charged meeting, a reframing of it. It leaves us with the knowledge that we never really understand our parents. And why would we? We were all absent during their formative years.
