So good.

One of my favorites, just another one not missing the mark of anything, great writing, comedy, characters, music, story. Especially the characters, EVERYONE in this is a CHARACTER and an amazing one. I I’ll say I struggle rewatching it, it’s not something where the suspense can grab you again, just the comedy. But on the first time around it was damn near Fargo levels of writing for me personally

Religious satire is always boring to me. It's the lowest of the lowest hanging fruit. I admit I didn't watch much but it's pretty clear what this show is about from the first scene and it's painfully unimaginative and unfunny. It's over before it begins.

The first season is more serious and starts to unravel how deplorable these characters are. But all of that is dropped and the show goes full comedy hijinks sprinkled with sappy family moments. The characters remain despicable despite forced interpersonal growth, making one wish that fewer punches would be pulled and that perhaps the greedy mega church would crash and burn. Within its narrative there is a certain charm to the show. Just watching silly, horrible people getting up to hijinks.

Season one starts just fantastic but gets pretty uneven around the middle and stays that way with some sprinkled moments of genius. Ends on a typical US high note which knocked down 20 points and made me puke in my mouth a bit. Not holding my breath for season two, doubt I'm going to watch that.

Danny McBride should be on Will Farrell level in my opinion, as a writer and an actor

As a comedy, this series was pretty damned fun!

The over the top comedy bits are alright. Everything else… eh. The show is well crafted, the characters and acting are fine, but it's hard to watch the collapse of a megachurch turn so fast into a flanderized friendship show about the megachurch's new generation of owners. After a last season that lacked proper development, the ending felt rushed, like they were forced to conclude everything in one last episode instead of letting it run its course. Uncle Baby Billy deserved more of an ending.

To be honest, middling when either Walton Goggins or Edi Patterson are absent. That monologue she does about her professor made me laugh really goddamn hard. Goodman is on autopilot, the season conflict plots are forgettable and I don't care about the Adam Devine character.

Laugh out loud hilarious. I love the humor, but then again, I like quasi-intelligent potty humor.

It's funny that my two favorite shows happen to be dark comedies about the absolutely worst people. And I fucking love them both to death.

This is Danny McBride's magnum opus. Righteous Gemstones is a hilarious and often very touching portrait of an imperfect family. As the seasons unfold, what could have been a lowbrow satire of religion becomes much more - a poignant, but darkly comedic portrait of a family struggling with grief, societal expectations, family relationships, and more. It's perfectly acted, wickedly written, and unafraid to be ridiculous in just the right amounts.

Highly enjoyable series gets better and better as it goes on - pleasingly old-fashioned in its style and focus on eccentric characters (this would be right at home in the 90s) and capped by a sparky cast, it is also notable in presenting its preachers in a largely positive light, allowing for an even handed portrait of the joy the vocation brings, along with dips into its sometimes sanctimonious underbelly. Some contrived moments in the plotting and characterisations are forgivable concessions.

A star studded cast with a peculiar premise leads to hijinks and an unpredictable season long journey of lies and deception from a wealthy religious family. McBride and Patterson set the comedic tone through out and Goodman brings the dramatic power he has proven time and time again to possess. It perfectly blends elements of comedy drama and the thriller genres to create this perfect storm of craziness. One of the most fun series in years. Not for everyone. McBrides brand is all over this one.

One of the funniest comedies to debut in 2019. Keefe is my guy and perhaps my favorite character in a Danny McBride show. Edi Patterson is one of the funniest people in the world and many of the best moments in season 1 come from her.

Comedy is derived from truth. Does anyone think that megachurch families spend their spare time calling each other "faggot" and "cocksucker"? I don't. Halfway through the first episode I mentally checked out, and went online to double-check that this is supposed to be a comedy. That's a bad sign. One episode and done for me.
