The Righteous Gemstones

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.

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.

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.

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.
