What Would Sal Do?

2017 · 1 season

A wry, low-key comedy about a slacker stumbling into small miracles, mixing crude laughs with a surprisingly earnest redemption arc.

Overview: Sal, an aimless and self-centred underachiever in Sudbury, Ontario, discovers that he is actually the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, and that he must learn to become a better person in preparation for his destiny.
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, cynical and warm. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Redemption, faith, identity, family
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
