'Living Biblically' recap: New sitcom walks a fine line with viewers

CBS debuted the first episode of its new comedy “Living Biblically” on Monday introducing the world to Chip Curry, a man who decides to live his entire life in strict adherence to the literal word of the Bible.

The show’s plot sounds confusing, and a bit controversial, which is why the pilot begins with a bit of an explanation. Chip goes to his church confessional, where he explains the situation to his priest, and the audience. When we meet Chip, he’s a regular guy, but hardly a saint.

He confesses to Father Gene to not holding the door for elderly people on the elevator and occasionally getting stoned and eating too much food. He works as a movie reviewer in Manhattan where his job is constantly on the line and his unfaithful coworker, Gary, frequentyly tests Chip's adherence to the “bro code” by regaling him with his extra-marital affairs. While not a great man, he’s made to seem pretty normal.
