‘The Righteous Gemstones’ Season 2
I’m a recent convert to the church of Gemstones and it’s the best TV-related decision I’ve made this year. Danny McBride’s uproarious HBO series centers on a dysfunctional televangelist family with a long tradition of deviance, greed, and charitable work. The writing is sharp and the performances are as good as it gets (Edi Patterson and Tim Baltz share an electric comedy chemistry that never fails to produce a laugh) as McBride delivers yet another delightfully absurd HBO comedy. If you’re a fan of Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals, you’ll love The Righteous Gemstones.
