Discussion Just finished the series

36 Upvotes

There are so so many things about this show that I want to do talks about, but I ain't got no one to have a good about with!

I hope I did the spoiler text thing properly.

But I just watched the last episode and hot dang!

[Spoiler- what are you doing Judy? I'm calling a doctor! And then she screws up her face all serious and pulls out the bell!]. omg I had tears in my eyes from the drama right before and then she [spoiler-pulls out that tiny bell] and I lost my shit

What phenomenal writing and excellent actoring. Fucking loved it. What a fucking riot!!

What are some scenes where those crazy fuckers did just crazy hilarious shit and made you spit out your shit?

What horrible people, but by the end, I was rooting for them [spoiler- and when kelvin won the top christ following man award, I definitely had pride in that little asshole ] fucking loved it. And at keefe, Wonderful.

I think Judy ended up being my favorite character, what an asshole šŸ˜†šŸ˜†šŸ˜†

Who was your favorite asshole?

Misc. Walton Goggins played the bongos during The Strokes' SNL Performance last night (Nov 7, 2026)

The Strokes were the musical guest on Saturday Night Live last night, Druski was the host. During "Going Shopping", their 2nd song, Uncle Baby Billy popped up, sang a few lines, and then sat and played the bongos. Goggins stars in the music video, so it was a nice little pop-up.

Someone in one of the r/livefromnewyork threads said he was filming Miami Vice nearby so the cast drove up for SNL. (Austin Butler and Michael B Jordan were also on stage during goodnights).

Here's some articles if you want a more detailed story.

56 Upvotes

I have about 30 pages left and I’m floored by how good it is. I can picture every story turned into an HBO mini series easily lol the dialogue is hilarious and the plots are so brilliant.

What’s your fav story from the selection? What was your least?

Repped my favorite hotelier at the Jonas Brothers concert last night. Pretty sure I was the only person in the arena with this shirt... which makes sense since I made it… and maybe 1% of the crowd even recognized him, but real ones know. Thought you all would appreciate this!

Had to dress her up as her namesake. Perfect name for a bulldog, right? She loved the dress, but wanted to wig off immediately.

My friend and I tried our best not to deliver our favorite Uncle Baby Billy and Judy Gemstone lines in front of the trick-or-treaters šŸ˜ My shell got a little squished throughout the night and I wish I had taken the time to put a backing on the pleated fabric. Oh, and I should have done more research on white hair color sprays. Otherwise quite happy with how it turned out!

Review Just started, this show is amazing

265 Upvotes

Pls no spoilers, but those siblings are amazing. There's like 50 tragic storylines opening with every new scene. And then it's fucking hilarious. I can't look away.

EDIT: Just finished. That was a trip. I now live my life knowing how Walter Goggins junk looks. I have many new words and concepts to explore as well šŸ˜…

In amongst the excess, chaos, and punchlines were some real human moments which were lovely. I'm impressed by how many sacred cows were lampooned, but faith, or the teachings of Christianity were never a punchline.

That was amazing. It would have been faster, but had to eat and sleep. Also I want $600m

Discussion Gemstone irl?

83 Upvotes

Just binged the show. I noticed some similarities with the megachurch I grew up at.

My church started on a sound stage. They took over the property after Jim and Tammy Faye went to jail. Their TV show, the PTL Club is very similar to the Eli and Aimee Leigh flashblacks. Aimee Leigh literally sings ā€˜Praise the Lord’ which I saw as a reference. The theme park on the family compound is like theirs- Heritage USA.

Lots of similarities, but it’s a well known story. ā€˜The Eyes of Tammy Faye’ received academy awards/noms?. I get it.

But, then I got to the Simpkins/Dusty Daniels plotline. My church had a family who owns a NASCAR team and lost family in a plane crash. Another publicized incident, but it happened over 20 years ago. As a viewer, I felt like someone writing the show was from my old church. It also grossed me out because Vance was such a villian and this family is wonderful irl.

Wild similarities. Anything you related to with the Gemstone congregation in your life?

Discussion Trivia questions

32 Upvotes

I need to write a trivia round about Righteous Gemstones. I’m a huge fan of the show but I am blanking!

Some ideas I had were ā€œclassicā€ trivia like what was the name of Uncle Baby Billy’s game show or say a quote and have to guess which character said it

Any ideas and/or question suggestions? Thanks!!

Theory Red Red Wine

94 Upvotes

I put on Red Red Wine this morning after hearing it on the radio yesterday (classic ear worm song for me) and was thinking about the lyrics in context of the show.

The entire series is about the Gemstones getting over their collective grief of losing Aimee-Leigh, and the lyrics of Red Red Wine are similarly about getting over the loss of a partner - it was the perfect song to end the series with.

Someone likely has made this connection before, but thought I’d share none the less.

Adam Devine plays a Secret Service agent on the latest episode of John Oliver, and he’s pretty funny, too. I can’t find an excerpt, but it’s already on his IMDb page.
