SERIES REVIEW: Impastor
Remember who played Lex Luthor in hit show Smallville? Michael Rosenbaum was his name, and if, like me, after watching his Jesse Eisenberg replacement you felt a hankering to look for your past, look no further. PHOTO| FILE| NATION MEDIA GROUP
What you need to know:
- No, seriously, stop looking. After Sorority Boys and Smallville, he didn’t really do much until this new series called Impastor.
- A con artist and general good-for-nothing gets in trouble with people who owe him money, and then, in a freak accident, gets mistaken for a pastor in a faraway small town.

No, seriously, stop looking. After Sorority Boys and Smallville, he didn’t really do much until this new series called Impastor. A con artist and general good-for-nothing gets in trouble with people who owe him money, and then, in a freak accident, gets mistaken for a pastor in a faraway small town.
It doesn’t prove far enough for his debtors not to find him, and trouble ensues when he has to live a morally upright life, counselling the people of this town on a religion he knows nothing about, while hiding from his past. I find the humour a bit weak and the acting surprisingly not compelling enough, but you decide for yourself.
