The Righteous Gemstones, HBO’s most watched comedy debut in three years, tells the story of a world-famous televangelist family with a long tradition of deviance, greed and charitable work – all in the name of Jesus Christ. 

Now streaming on Showmax (https://www.showmax.com/eng/tvseries/sqx57jcz-the-righteous-gemstones), The Righteous Gemstones was recently renewed for a second season, after earning an 8.1/10 rating on IMDb, an 81% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and a place on best of the year lists everywhere from Hypebeast to Rotten Tomatoes. 

That combination of extreme wealth and extreme paternal disappointment has earned The Righteous Gemstones a number of comparisons to another hit HBO show, Succession. As CNN says, “It’s a superbly written and acted dark comedy that humanises its greedy characters as much as it mocks them in preposterous plots that make for delicious television – much like Succession.”..
