"Good LORD what a sickeningly fresh and funny show. An excellent satire compiled of the insane stories of a megachurch-owning televangelist family with quite the rocky road ahead of them, this was a definite hit for me. Packed with plenty of scandal (sort of an à la Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker feel), this one is not even a little bit family friendly. Jesus y’all with an all-star principal cast including John Goodman, Danny McBride, Adam Devine, Walter Goggins, and Jason Schwartzman, it would be pretty tough to go wrong. Praise be to HE there will be a season 3 of this HBOmax series coming this year! Hallelujah 🙌"
"Take "Succession", replace the Roy kids with a bunch of self-righteous half-wits, and you'll have "The Righteous Gemstones"; three entitled siblings duke it out for the approval and the leadership of their father's megachurch in one of the best current comedies.
⛪Divine:
-the hysterical bickering between siblings
- Several performances that deserve Emmy awards (Danny McBride, Walton Goggins, and Edi Patterson in particular)
-the casting and costumes
-one of the few shows on currently streaming that has tons of legitimate laughs
🔥Infernal:
-on a personal note, the brief nudity (which is done for laughs) grosses me out. 😆
Grade: A+
