A new Melissa McCarthy comedy series has dropped on Netflix and users are already returning from their binge-viewings with rave reviews.

God's Favourite Idiot is an eight part series that stars Melissa as Amily Luck, a quirky co-worker of mid-level tech support employee Clark Thompson, played by Melissa's husband Ben Falcone.

After finding love with Amily, things get unexpectedly complicated for Clark when he unwittingly becomes a messenger of God. As you do.

After tearing through all eight episodes of the comedy series, fans have taken to Twitter in praise of Melissa McCarthy's sensational performance, recommending it as a must-watch.
