The Righteous Gemstones (HBO) TV Show • Page 2

Lmao just saw this. Hilarious

 

It wasn’t as laugh out loud as I expected but they 100% nailed the aesthetic, attitude, clothing, word choice, etc... of these parasitic mega churches. And it was much darker than I thought it would be. Pumped to keep watching.

 

Gideon being one of the guys they killed or the guy behind those people is too obvious, right?

 

Behind the plot, maybe, killed, I wouldn't think so. Not sure Danny McBride running over his son would be a place the story would go lol.

 

Lol man that was wild

 

Took me a while to get into the idea of shows where pretty much everybody sucks but Succession and this have done their part to convert me. I guess Mad Men was pretty much like that as well.

 

Adam's accent was a little distracting but yeah this was good

 

You are having an excellent avatar

 

Thanks! I finished the game over the weekend and am ready to start again with a different House.

Sorry, I mean: I am having finished the game and am being ready to start again

 

Currently on my second run and absolutely choosing Petra to spend my life with haha

 

Interesting, just now realizing that Jody Hill isn't a part of this. Where's Ben Best been?

EDIT:
Wait Hill is an EP. But not writing/directing

 

is hill not? he did an interview with mcbride and DGG that indicated he was

 

The Righteous Gemstones: Jody Hill and David Gordon Green on New HBO Series

Oh nevermind I guess. Just not on IMDB other than EP

 

It's weird because the credits said it was created solely by McBride, not the both of them, which is what I thought was the case. But I guess Hill and Green just helped developed the idea that Danny had? And then this says Hill will be directing but not Green? Would be surprised if he didn't direct at least one episode.

 

Loved this so much. These guys can do no wrong, apparently.

 

Do we know how many episodes this is ?

 

I keep seeing six everywhere that lists them out, but no confirmation that that’s all we’re getting.

 

According to this we're getting 9

Nice.

 

Hill acted in the episode too lol.

I was curious about Best too, they haven't associated with him since the second season of Eastbound. I did some research and found some thread on Reddit where a guy knows him personally and said he got way too into drugs/partying and McBride and Hill kind of cut ties. Obviously unconfirmed but I can see it being true honestly

 

Oh, and I forgot to share my opinion on the premiere. I instantly fell in love with it just like Eastbound and Vice Principals, I laughed out loud several times, especially the fucking part where he just ran them over in the van lmao. I actually think Adam Devine might be my favorite character so far, his delivery is always so funny and he and Danny are a perfect pairing

Also interestingly this was the only hour long episode, next week's is a half hour and so is the one after

 

oh my goddddd this is so good

 

Thoroughly enjoyed the premiere.

 

I mean, how could I not love this show? Eastbound and Down is one of my favorite all time shows. Vice Principals was great too, but I have even higher hopes for this one after the premier. The one thing Im not in love with is this is McBridges second show in a row with a masked mystery person.

 

Holy shittttttttttt what a twist
