Praise the new series "The Righteous Gemstones" which is an excellent take on how the good lord world of religion has become.

Growing up and as many remember and see in our own churches and little towns these things ringed so true! And this new twisted comedy series puts the spin on religion so perfect!
Created by Danny McBride("Vice Principals") who had me sold from the start stars as Jesse who lives in a famous and powerful televangelist family who spread the word with greed and money! And his siblings are also part of the church as brother Kelvin(Adam Devine) might be a lover of men among himself! Enter the king the great and powerful leader that's Eli Gemstone(the super and great John Goodman) who rules the throne during church. Plus in some laugh out scenes Walton Goggins is funny and crazy as money hungry Baby Billy Freeman a rival preacher and family friend.
The series captures scandal, bribes, and most of all power struggle and mistrust in the church all so well as those themes have become so common with religion! Also it's take and spin on sex, adultery, and the current culture is in top form as the dialogue is just so funny! It's laugh out so shout it out and praise this new "HBO" series "The Righteous Gemstones" it is a comedy that's heaven sent it's a bold brash funny look at how gospel mixes so well with greed, scandal, money, and power struggle.
