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.

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

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.

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.
