‘God’s Favorite Idiot‘ is a series of apocalyptic comedy series by a middle-class tech support worker named Clark Thompson who becomes an unwary messenger of God. Clark’s life is typical as it often involves sauna sessions with his father, caring for his cats, and abusing his colleague, Emily Luck. However, his normal life took a dramatic turn when he was struck by lightning and gained light.
If that were not enough, the angel confirms that Clark is God’s chosen messenger and that it is his responsibility to save mankind by preventing the coming apocalypse from happening. Apocalyptic preparations and the involvement of a few religious themes throughout the series often keep viewers in awe and make them scratch their heads about production sites.
