Vice Principals continues to improve by fleshing out its characters' motivations and giving us more Walter Goggins.
Both of the series leads struggle with the idea of what it means to be a man.
In The Circle we get to see the insecurity inside Russell despite the way he peacocks while at school.
At home, Russell is threatened and intimidated by a large, muscular neighbor.

Its here that the episode takes aim at the silliness of male friendships.
It all goes back to the messy ways that masculinity distorts and stunts emotions.
His busted by Lee Russell song was hilarious and the highlight of the episode.
Another reason I think The Circle succeeds is because the show presents someone whos worse than Gamby and Russell.
Its also fun that the show has officially put Gamby and Russell on the same page.
I even cheered a little bit when Gamby came to back up his friend.
Thats the way that your supposed to feel for the shows protagonists.
