After getting struck by lightning from a very unusually angelic cloud, Clark suddenly has the ability to glow.

DJ’s Review:
I went into this show knowing it was going to be quirky. While it’s probably not one of Melissa McCarthy’s better performances, she did manage to keep the show afloat with some funny situational comedy. Picture this show being pretty similar to “The Good Place”, but not quite as good.
It is worth the time to watch it, while you wait for something better to drop.
