Impastor weakens its good work by trying a bit too hard.

The plot contortions required to keep this going are straight out of a cartoon, and they threaten to take some otherwise nice characters with them.

I couldn't wait anymore to see Michael Rosenbaum in a new tv show and I'm happy he's in this one! This is the best new comedy show of this summer! All the cast is very funny and hilarious, the writing is witty and clever, the soundtrack is amazing! Every episode is 20 minutes of laughs and pure fun! I hope it will be soon renewed for season two because I’m loving this show always more and more! To watch!!

I laughed out loud multiple times during the first episode. And i honestly can't remember the last time that I did that during a show. Yes, there are a couple of stereotypical characters, but that happens during a 22 minute first episode that has to jam in an entire backstory for a show. The cast is very strong, especially Rosenbaum and Rue and I'm just really looking forward to see what happens next.

Generally too predictable and slight to merit much attention.

Impastor plays right into the stereotypes. Impastor has an edgy veneer--but once it rubs off, you're left with an entirely ordinary show.

Impastor’s comedy strands [Rosenbaum] in a tonal mess.

Nothing is at all believable in the script, and nothing’s very funny, either. On top of that, the charm and abilities of Rosenbaum and Sara Rue, who plays the church secretary, are wasted with bad writing.

This show rocks! I hated all those multi-cam "laughers" TV Land used to put on, but Impastor is brilliant! The acting, writing and look of the show are all excellent. It's very funny, and if they keep it as interesting as the pilot, I'm in for the season!

What to make of this show? It's a possibly interesting concept -- a man contemplating suicide is given a chance to start over as someone else. In addition, having said man attempt to impersonate a priest who recently came out of the closet could be fun, too. This feels like the kind of idea that could make for a light-hearted and wacky 90-minute film. As a series, I'm not sure it's going to work. The cracks began to show in the pilot, which was uneven.

This show is utter garbage. The same crap lines run til they're dry. I didn't laugh once. Maybe season 2 will fix a broken show. They may need to hire some better writers or have the lead become more likable. Either way I am not taking the ride.

One of the lowest of bad comedies on TV, if TV Land qualifies as a channel. Stereotypes run rampant. Made by straight people who like to laugh at gay people :-(
