    Summary

    Reviewers say 'The Righteous Gemstones' offers clever writing, dark humor, and sharp satire of televangelism, with standout performances from Danny McBride, John Goodman, and Edi Patterson. However, some find it overly reliant on crude humor and sexual content, which detracts from its depth. Critics note inconsistencies in plot development and character arcs, with varying season quality. Despite these issues, many appreciate its unique comedy-drama blend, making it notable in the TV landscape.

    Very funny and smart comedy

    I've been waiting for this show ever since the sneak peak image of the cast released a couple months ago and frankly, I am not disappointed, Danny McBride is hilarious and so is the rest of the cast. There of course will be some negative reviews on here saying that it's anti Christian propaganda, but I don't see it as that at all. This is a satire on how power of any sort can be corrupted. HBO has landed another great comedy, excited to keep watching.

    Excellent

    If you enjoyed the dark humour of Vice Principals then you'll enjoy this. Everyone at the top of their game.

    Hilarious!

    Great cast! Loved the first episode and if it's any indication of the entire season, then you know it's a great series. Great HBO series as usual.

    Simply great series!!!

    Funny, great acting from everyone involved, especially the Gemstone kids and their evil uncle are outstanding. I was waiting for a third Vice Principles season, but this series is at least as good. Love the transparent selfish characters and the great storyline. Danny McBride deverses an Emmy! Great entertainment.

    Righteous Gemstones

    Love it! Been waiting for a few months to watch. It didn't disappoint. It's a caricature of these Television Televangelists. Which we've all seen through out the years. Exaggerated? Yes, but we all know they line their pockets with the weak minded. And tax free as well. I'm a big fan of Danny McBride. And I hope it gets picked up for a 2nd season.

    • Trivia
      Danny McBride stated that he didn't want this show to bash religion; rather he wanted it to lampoon hypocrites. He grew up in the church, and his mother did puppet ministry, and he wanted to take the alternate route that Hollywood does of making fun of one's religious beliefs.
