Well into the second generation of a grand televangelist tradition, the world-famous Gemstone family is living proof that worship pays dividends in all sizes. Patriarch Eli, the man most responsible for the tremendous success of the family's megachurch, is in mourning over the loss of his wife. Jesse, the eldest of the three grown Gemstone siblings, looks to lead in his father's footsteps, but finds his past sins jeopardizing the family ministry. Next in line comes middle sister Judy, who secretly lives with her fiancé and dreams of escaping the Gemstone compound. Rounding out the dysfunctional trio is pseudo-hipster Kelvin, the youngest of the preachers and a thorn in Jesse's side. As the family battles numerous threats to their renowned religious empire, they continue to spread the good word... and make a solid buck doing so.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Righteous Gemstones has its mixture of broad comedy and genuine pathos down pat, chapter and verse, and it preaches a riotously funny gospel in what might be its darkest installment yet.

Phil Christman The Atlantic 08/04/2023
Impious as the show is, the way it scrambles cause and effect aptly captures the weird, anti-dramatic quality of forgiveness. Go to Full Review Matt Schimkowitz AV Club 06/20/2023

Though we are treading familiar ground, The Righteous Gemstones remains blessed with near-constant laughs from front to back. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico The Playlist 06/17/2023

A season that’s willing to take risks. Go to Full Review Bruce R. Miller Sioux City Journal 03/28/2025
While “Gemstones” doesn’t bite the religious hand quite the way it did in previous seasons, it does conclude without a big sermon. Go to Full Review Dónal Lynch Sunday Independent (Ireland) 01/29/2024
In this outing the opulence and hypocrisy reaches new and preposterous heights. Go to Full Review Melody McCune Geek Girl Authority 08/24/2023
It’s as hilarious and heartfelt as ever, with a satisfying seasonal arc that ties loose ends while leaving the door open for a potential fourth season. Season 3 is pure, comedic escapism. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Hc N @RT04263181 2d Not as smart as season 2 but still very fun to watch (so I binged all the 9 half-hour episodes in one go). This time we are introduced to Eli’s sister and her family and I enjoy all the flashbacks to build up the characters. See more Downriver R @Downriver Feb 10 Best show you'll find on television. The comedy is outstanding. See more Daniel O @Olshansk 06/27/2025 I can’t tell if the show is growing on me or if it’s getting better. It feels like as the actors get more comfortable with their roles, and the storylines mature, it’s not just fun and games. It’s becoming real and challenging. It’s the sort of show only HBO can pull off, and it has transitioned from something I watch passively when there’s nothing else to something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. See more CC C @Cindyloohoooooo 05/02/2025 This is the most hilarious, wrong, demented and sometimes heartfelt and dark series out there right now. If you don't enjoy it, there's something wrong with you. See more Nick C @wootwoot9 04/21/2025 Better than 99% of shows out there. Offers a resolution instead of playing the cliff hangar game at the end of each season See more A S @inky.pinky.ponky0310603 03/18/2025 I really love the acting in this serie. The strange and over the top humor keeps you watching and want to see more. Weird/funny dialogues, weird or funny scenes and sometimes it all goes to far, but still I kept on watching. Well made, well done. Highly recommended. See more Read all reviews
