The Righteous Gemstones: Season 2, Episode 9 (2022) B EDIT “Drinking game for next season: take a sip every time a character says “daddy.”” – AV Club Feb 28, 2022 Full Review The Righteous Gemstones: Season 2, Episode 8 (2022) B+ EDIT “Stellar performances from Walton Goggins and John Goodman this week.” – AV Club Feb 22, 2022 Full Review The Righteous Gemstones: Season 2, Episode 7 (2022) A EDIT “It’s great to see the Gemstone family grow, change and forgive, but it will be interesting to see if any of it sticks.” – AV Club Feb 14, 2022 Full Review The Righteous Gemstones: Season 2, Episode 6 (2022) B EDIT “One of the most notable aspects of Gemstones is that it’s not afraid to take the viewer to darker places and take chances. This is a truly shocking cliffhanger in an impressive season of television.” – AV Club Feb 7, 2022 Full Review The Righteous Gemstones: Season 2, Episode 5 (2022) A EDIT “This week's episode is a near-perfect encapsulation of what makes Gemstones great, weaving sophomoric comedy into a family saga that is not afraid to take it down a darker path.” – AV Club Jan 31, 2022 Full Review The Righteous Gemstones: Season 2, Episode 4 (2022) A EDIT “Goodman was one of the best parts of the last season and as he continues to develop, Eli Gemstone has grown into one of the best characters on television today.” – AV Club Jan 24, 2022 Full Review The Righteous Gemstones: Season 2, Episode 3 (2022) C+ EDIT “This week, it doesn't come together as it should.” – AV Club Jan 17, 2022 Full Review The Righteous Gemstones: Season 2, Episode 2 (2022) B+ EDIT “A very funny episode with some wild twists and turns.” – AV Club Jan 11, 2022 Full Review The Righteous Gemstones: Season 2, Episode 1 (2022) B+ EDIT “The stylish direction from David Gordon Green elevates Gemstones above your average comedy series.” – AV Club Jan 10, 2022 Full Review The Mandalorian: Season 2, Episode 8 (2020) B- EDIT “The season-two finale appears to wrap up Mando and Grogu's excellent adventure in a mostly satisfactory way, while a post-credits stinger implies that season three may take on a different point of view.” – AV Club Dec 24, 2020 Full Review The Mandalorian: Season 2, Episode 5 (2020) A EDIT “The series has felt like it's been spinning its wheels for the past few episodes-standard-issue dreary Empire bases, desert planets-and with gunfight after gunfight, a lightsaber seems oddly refreshing in the opening of the latest episode, "The Jedi."” – AV Club Nov 30, 2020 Full Review
