The Righteous Gemstones (HBO)
About to watch the first episode. Hopes are high with this having Danny McBride, John Goodman, Walton Goggins and Adam Devine.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Re: The Righteous Gemstones (HBO)
Three episodes in and holy shit this is everything i've ever wanted.
Goodman is a fucking national treasure. What an actor.
And danny mcbride? My god. His humor is right in my sweet spot.
Also, does Adam Devine also play that hilarious guy he kind of lives with and works at the DMV?

Re: The Righteous Gemstones (HBO)
Watched the first episode of this the other day and struggled to finish it. The satire was too outlandish to have any real bite. I appreciated the turn in the parking lot in the final minutes, but ultimately I can't see myself going back to this.
