September 3, 20196 yr A guy that watches a lot of porn that has caused him to feel inadequate in comparison would probably feel better about himself after seeing this show. Hypothetically.

September 3, 20196 yr The jokes were fine but still, would not mind seeing Auntie nekkid. Seems like she is fairly unknown but did find some pics of her and she cleans up nicely. She is from Georgia, so maybe she ran into Goggins there and hence got the part.

Dermot Mulroney, apparently not identified anywhere in the cast. Dermot Mulroney is listed as a main cast member in the closing credits

September 5, 20196 yr I like this show, and I like most the characters, but at times I feel like it should be funnier than it is. Anyone else agree? So far I would put Vice Principals far ahead of this series.
September 9, 20196 yr The most recent episode was the best so far. Also had the most tits. Coincidence?
September 9, 20196 yr While other folks on the show may have better comedic acting chops...mainly because of the lines she gets---the sister has been the funniest person on the show so far.
September 9, 20196 yr Renewed for s2 https://www.thewrap.com/righteous-gemstones-season-2-renewed-hbo/
September 10, 20196 yr While other folks on the show may have better comedic acting chops...mainly because of the lines she gets---the sister has been the funniest person on the show so far. Yeah, some of her best moments haven’t even involved “lines”. Her quirky way of mocking the two brothers is pretty funny.
September 10, 20196 yr I'm oddly intrigued by the Satanic dance club.As a boy I danced naked in a cage next to the dj.
September 11, 20196 yr There was a nice reference to Luke 11:24-26 there. When they clean out the girl's room they call it a sweep... 24 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ 25 When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. 26 Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.”
September 11, 20196 yr That episode was really good. The Spiritual Collections Unit (Gemstone SCU) van was a nice touch.
September 11, 20196 yr dumb question amnesty---I think it was episode 2 or 3 I Didn't watch very closely. Why exactly does Gideon feel beholden to the asshole stunt guy? I get that he sorta took him under his wing out in Hollywood, and the guy continues to express why the Gemstones owe him money (not sure exactly how he was wronged other than the hit and run, and now this new round of car pranks). Anyway, why did Gideon decide to help him though? Gideon made the tape and set up the blackmail, but why bring those two other dipshits in on this? Is it as simple as he just needed somebody else as an intermediary to negotiate with his Dad so he picked a washed up stunt man not named Brad Pitt? Or was there some other line of dialogue that explains it? Aint' exactly watching the show for the plot, but that seems important because it's the main storyline of the first half of the season it seems---the video blackmail. That, and the dicks of a bunch of middle-aged people.

The stuntman did threaten Gideon to make it right or he'd kill him, but you don't really get the sense that he's some badass scary dude. The stuntman feels wronged from the exchange, and thinks that money is owed to him. I think Gideon hates his dad and wants to fuck him over, but can't do it solo. I don't get the sense that Gideon is scared of or feels beholden to the guy.

September 16, 20196 yr That kid totally nailed Danny McBride's mannerisms. And that damn song Misbehavin is stuck in my head. Also had no idea the main chick from Sugarland acted. Edited September 16, 20196 yr by Js1

Also had no idea the main chick from Sugarland acted. Quote Shazam it all you want, and you won’t find it. Because the song was invented for the show by creator Danny McBride, writer and co-star Edi Patterson, and series composer Joey Stephens. https://www.fastcompany.com/90404022/how-misbehaving-catchy-righteous-gemstones-earworm-came-together?partner=feedburner That is a stroke of genius you don't often see in comedies. They nailed that.
September 16, 20196 yr This episode was necessary for background, I guess, but I found myself wanting some Vice Principals or Kenny Fuckin' Powers humor. The beer part had potential, but got all too wholesome. The fact that Eli and Amie Leigh are decent parents is just not all that funny. In fact, so far this show has been a little bit too Waltons since that amazing first episode.
September 16, 20196 yr Other than the song this episode was a miss for me. Young Eli and Amie Leigh were lame. There needs to be some evilness to them, otherwise their backstory doesn't explain how the kids got the way they are. I get that they are spoiled, but if that's the only glimpse into the past I am to believe that Eli and Amie Leigh were good parents.
September 16, 20196 yr You ever hear something that you can't explain exactly why it is funny, but it cracks you up? The lyric "running through the house with a pickle in my mouth" as uttered by Goggins is that.

They did not discipline horribly bratty kids, and spoiled them rotten. The episode made a point of Eli's dad's disgust at how they were bringing up their kids. It was an important episode to establish that at the beginning Eli and AL were legitimate. The first few episodes of the series, Eli's kids are intimidated by him. Then you see this lookback episode where they walked all over him at one time. Somewhere along the line (probably his wife's death) Eli said fuck it, became ruthless and started milking his thing for every dollar he could get.

That was so randomly funny and out of nowhere, incredible.
September 16, 20196 yr I grew up in a small town with many of these types around. Its spot on. Throwing the televangelist angle is better.

These type of televangelists were big in the 80's. They've nailed the ethos perfectly. They're fringe players now but back in the day they were fairly widespread.
September 17, 20196 yr I had forgotten that Walton Goggins was a champion clogger when he was a teenager. (I actually knew that at one point.)
September 17, 20196 yr it's an okay show but not as funny as it could be. similar cast to vice principals, but imho that show was funnier than this one.

Agree. It’s entertaining enough, but Vice Principals was way better. Maybe it’ll pick up once they move forward with the extortion plot.
September 19, 20196 yr I watched Vice Principals by myself a couple years ago because my wife hated Danny McBride and I didn't think she would enjoy it. She loves The Righteous Gemstones so far, so now I'm going to go back and make her watch VP.
