Community reviews for The Righteous Gemstones, shown here with its season details.
It was funny, especially with the crude and obscene humor which you don't expect from a Christian family. Talk about irony! Although the main plot of the show was somewhat disappointing. I was expecting it to be more complex. However, it did had some touching moments. And like I said, I did found this show a bit funny.
