The Righteous Gemstones - Reviews

John Goodman leads a dark comedy about a hugely wealthy, highly corrupt family of US evangelists, complete with marathon baptisms and perilous blackmail.

Southern-fried and stupid fun, this raucous drama scores by fooling us into believing it's a mild satire of televangelists before taking a crazy leap off a cliff.

...underrated televangelist comedy gets a heavenly send-off.

There’s an unspoken guarantee you’ll never finish an episode without spitting out your coffee over a brilliant flash of coarse humor, or bursting into a maniacal giggle fit from a perfectly timed punchline.

...season 2 laughs at the thin line between crime and televangelism.

Här har han lyckats få med sig giganten John Goodman, vars karisma är så fängslande att man helt enkelt hänförs varje gång han är i bild.

Skuespillernes samspil er skarpt, og replikkerne flyver af sted i raketfart, når de ihærdigt trashtalker hinanden.
