Danny McBride is a naturally charismatic kind of actor who plays crude people who should be unlikable in a way that brings you along. That helps a lot. The other two people playing his siblings have a similar energy.
The main cast are second generation in the megachurch, with John Goodman playing the founder, and as such a lot of their weirdness is tinged with good old fashioned out-of-touch-rich-people parody. And the show is parody. You often aren't supposed to agree with the main characters when they are saying or doing awful things, but ay the end of the day they eventually tend to be up against people who are worse than them, making them the only protagonists in earshot.
Danny McBride gives me strong Trailer Park Boys' Robb Wells vibes.
