The Righteous Gemstones is a dark comedy TV series created by Danny McBride that follows a famous and dysfunctional family of televangelists based in South Carolina. The family, led by patriarch Eli Gemstone and his adult children Jesse, Judy, and Kelvin, leads opulent lives funded by their megachurch empire. The show explores their personal and moral failings, including greed, deviance, and family conflicts, while also depicting their charitable work and religious activities. Across its four seasons, the series delves into various storylines such as internal family power struggles, scandals, blackmail, and threats from outside forces like investigative journalists and vengeful enemies. It also touches on themes of faith, legacy, sexuality, and the tension between maintaining a virtuous public image and their flawed private lives. The show blends raucous humor with poignant moments, often satirizing the Southern megachurch phenomenon and televangelism culture. The final season further explores the origins of the Gemstone empire, the patriarch's romantic life, and the children’s attempts to lead the church amid personal turmoil, culminating in dramatic and darkly comedic events that test their family bonds
