You think this show is pro religion?

I do not. I think that these mega church types just don't hold my interest is all. I can't relate, even a little bit.Jorge wrote:You think this show is pro religion?
I appreciate I'm no doubt doing myself a disservice by not sticking it out but only so many hours in the day so choices have to be made.

Re: The Righteous Gemstones (HBO)
This could just as well be a show about a media mogul family; the actual occupation is just flavor to a story about wealthy charlatans divorced from reality. It’s like if succession was about a mega church family and actually a comedy

Re: The Righteous Gemstones (HBO)
Great finale. The tonal shifts that this show does so well were once again very well done with some genuinely touching moments. The siblings’ group prayer for Corey was very moving.
Everything about that opening Cape & Pistol duel scene was incredible. “When I was child…oh, fuck, y’all.”
Not a lot of Uncle Baby Billy, but he made every moment count.
“Red Red Wine” would be a seriously terrifying song to be murdered to.

I'm really enjoying Vice Principals... I know I'm probably the only Righteous Gemstones fan who hadn't seen it, but in case you also haven't, highly recommended. It's really scratching that Gemstones itch

We watched it between Gemstones seasons. It was very weird to see Edi Patterson in that role after having seen her as Judy first.Jorge wrote:I'm really enjoying Vice Principals...

Re: The Righteous Gemstones (HBO)
just started watching this, it took a while to find as UK advertisers obviously aren't confident this kind of thing has an audience here
it's me, I'm the audience
I'm on the finale of season 2
this show is amazing, so very keenly observed, even the cringe worship songs are real

Baby Billy and Judy Gemstone are perfect characters.

Re: The Righteous Gemstones (HBO)
Judy reminds me a lot of her character in Vice Principals. I strongly recommend that show to anyone who is a fan of Gemstones because I think the show was born out of whatever they tapped into on that showdad wrote:Might be my most who quoted line from that show.Mecca wrote:Go outside, nerd!wease wrote:Baby Billy’s Bible BonkersMs Harmless wrote:the whole Bible Bonkers bit was hilarious

Re: The Righteous Gemstones (HBO)
one of my favourite things was that they covered Judy's mental health / abuse issues as a young girl (whoever plays young Judy is fantastic), which lends understanding to her actions and personality as an adult
