The Righteous Gemstones

Baby Billy is the best character in years! The story is actually very good. The comedy (which I was thinking I may grow tired of Danny Mcbride's shtick) was so funny! Easy material to draw from, but it doesn't shame the religious viewer.

This is a show about a family of preaches who preach the gospel but they sure don't live by it. The main story revolves around a blackmail scheme and the siblings (who have a love hate relationship with one another) try to save the family reputation without paying the money. Along the way, we learn about the family through flashbacks that show how they became so broken. This show has laugh too loud moments and also a lot of heart. Big props to Danny McBride!

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

The Righteous Gemstones is truly one of the funnier shows that's came out in years. I didn't have any idea that it was going to be as funny as it was so I put off watching it and finally just caught up and I'm so glad I did. It's filled with sophomoric humor but there's so much more to this show than that. It surprisingly has a heart to this show. It gives you a hilarious look at how even religion is a business. Every cast member is hilarious but Danny McBride is the true star as he is in most things. He is incredibly underrated as a comedian. He's always a scene stealer in every movie he does and this, Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals are classic tv shows. If you're a fan of Danny McBride type comedy then this is absolutely the show for you. It will literally make you laugh out loud.

The Righteous Gemstones is flat out hilarious. It's another comedy created by the always funny Danny McBride. I'm not kidding when I say that every episode is hilarious. I've had to watch episodes twice because I was laughing so much that I missed parts. Every character on the show is funny and brings a different kind of comedy to it. HBO rarely puts out bad shows and this is no different. It's actually probably underrated. All you have to do is read through the reviews to see how much people liked this show. If you like McBride's other stuff like Eastbound and Down or Vice Principals then you'll love this too.
