The story of a world-famous televangelist family with a history of deviance, greed and, yes, charitable work, all in the name of Jesus.
The series follows the dysfunctional Gemstone family, a world-famous televangelist clan with a long tradition of deviance, greed, and charitable work, all while misdemeaning the scriptures. Patriarch Eli Gemstone and his children Jesse, Judy, and Kelvin continue to lead their massive congregation and expand their empire, facing threats from their past and within their own fractured family.
The show has been praised for its sharp writing, dark humor, and the cast's comedic performances, particularly McBride, DeVine, and Patterson. Critics have lauded its willingness to explore complex themes of faith, hypocrisy, and family dynamics within a satirical framework, though some have noted its often shocking and R-rated content.
Google audience: Audiences appreciate the show's irreverent humor, the over-the-top characters, and the satirical take on religious institutions. Many enjoy the blend of comedy and drama, finding the Gemstone family's exploits both outrageous and compelling.
Nominated for multiple Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for John Goodman.
The Gemstone Salvation Centers, the charitable arm of the family's ministry, are often portrayed as having questionable effectiveness and are used more for the family's convenience than actual public service.
