Vice Principals debuted on HBO in July of last year, and I’ve loved the series since.

The show stars Danny McBride as Neal Gamby. In the first season, Gamby is a vice principal obsessed with becoming the principal of North Jackson High.

One of the problems Gamby encounters in the first season is that the other vice principal of North Jackson, Lee Russell (played by Walton Goggins) also wants to be the man in charge.

After being thrown back in the same “vice principals” boat, Russell and Gamby decide to be friends, setting the stage for an epic season full of comedy and emotion.

Vice Principals’ follow-up season was just as good, if not better, than the first.

The show’s first season ended with a massive cliffhanger that left fans dying for the second season (I know I was).

Season two definitely did not disappoint. It plays out like an investigative story, stringing together comedy and drama perfectly; making viewers laugh, but also wallow in their emotions.

One of the things I loved most about the show was the soundtrack. The showrunners did a good job at choosing music that adds emotion and substance to scenes.

It’s a shame Vice Principals has come to an end after just two seasons, but the story the showrunners wanted to tell is complete and they leave off on a high note. I cannot complain.
