‘The Righteous Gemstones’
The Righteous Gemstones is Danny McBride’s gleefully unhinged look at a family of world-famous televangelists. The Gemstones started off humbly enough, and took their TV ministry to the highest level imaginable. Now the family’s eldest son Jesse (Danny McBride) is in jeopardy of ruining it all: blackmailers have a recording of him cavorting with prostitutes and cocaine. The Gemstone siblings must band together to face this existential threat down. Meanwhile, the family faces other threats, some from their own family tree. Hilarious, rowdy, and surprisingly sweet, The Righteous Gemstones is HBO’s latest great comedy.
