Ep 6. Ever Been to Nando's?

Rev. is a British sitcom about an Anglican vicar named Adam Smallbone, who is struggling to find his place in the world and connect with his congregation. The show explores themes of faith, humility, and the challenges of modern ministry.

In season 1 episode 6, titled "Ever Been to Nando's?", Adam is approached by a group of young urbanites who ask him to perform a baptism for their friend, who has just converted to Christianity. Although the group seems friendly and sincere, Adam quickly realizes that they have some unconventional beliefs and practices.

At a preliminary meeting, Adam is surprised to learn that the group regularly meets at Nando's, a popular chain restaurant, to discuss spiritual matters over chicken wings. While Adam struggles to connect with the group's culture, they are equally confused by his traditionalism and lack of hipness.

When it comes time to perform the baptism, Adam finds himself in an unexpected setting: a public swimming pool, surrounded by the group's boisterous friends and family. The ceremony is interrupted by a group of teenage boys who have taken over the pool, but Adam manages to salvage the situation and complete the baptism.

Throughout the episode, Adam grapples with his own doubts and insecurities, as well as the challenge of reaching out to a new and unfamiliar demographic. He struggles to reconcile his own sense of humility and service with the group's more self-centered desires and aspirations.

Ultimately, though, Adam manages to find common ground with the group and deliver a meaningful and memorable baptism. Along the way, he learns some valuable lessons about faith, community, and the importance of keeping an open mind.
