The Righteous Gemstones (S3E1-3)

Published: Nov. 28, 2023, 4 p.m.

This is hands down one of my favorites shows of all time, if you have watched it, then you know why. If you haven't watched the show, I would encourage you to do so, but remember that this is a satire on mega churches, key word being satire. Season three takes place after Eli's semi-retirement and Jesse, Judy, and Kelvin have taken over the church. I've been a fan since it started in 2019, last year I was in a zoom call with Tim Baltz as part of the ATX TV Membership, and this year the ATX TV Festival premiered season 3 at the festival. Sadly I didn't get to take any pictures of the panelists (they had signs telling us not to or we'd be kicked out, but me being on the front row, I didn't see that everyone else ignored and took pics) and I wasn't able to get any interviews, but hopefully one day I will get to interview some of the cast.

\n

If anyone from the show happens to see this, I have an amazing idea for a spin-off. This isn't just any spin-off and I wouldn't pitch the idea to you guys if I didn't actually think it was good. Putting it out into the world that someone from the show will see this and reach out.
