Orel is an 11-year-old boy who loves church. His unbridled enthusiasm for piousness and his misinterpretation of religious morals often lead to disastrous results, including self-mutilation and crack addiction. No matter how much trouble he gets into, his reverence always keeps him cheery.
Charming little series that doesn't show its full hand till then end of its second season. Pulls the Bojack Horseman of having seemingly inconsequential moments have a major impact later on before Bojack did it. Enjoyed the commentary on Christianity and more importantly the people who follow it. The negatives is that the 10 minute runtime doesn't allow for the stories to really flourish as they should which is why the best episode was a two parter, and some of the side character focused episodes aren't very interesting as some are based on background characters with one gag to them. Overall great underrated show that does dark humor well.
