Well into the second generation of a grand televangelist tradition, the world-famous Gemstone family is living proof that worship pays dividends in all sizes. Patriarch Eli, the man most responsible for the tremendous success of the family's megachurch, is in mourning over the loss of his wife. Jesse, the eldest of the three grown Gemstone siblings, looks to lead in his father's footsteps, but finds his past sins jeopardizing the family ministry. Next in line comes middle sister Judy, who secretly lives with her fiancé and dreams of escaping the Gemstone compound. Rounding out the dysfunctional trio is pseudo-hipster Kelvin, the youngest of the preachers and a thorn in Jesse's side. As the family battles numerous threats to their renowned religious empire, they continue to spread the good word... and make a solid buck doing so.

Chris Bennion Daily Telegraph (UK) The series gives all its memorable characters a fitting send-off, while The Righteous Gemstones remains the only show that can have you recoiling in horror at the scatological filth one minute, then tearing up the next. Rated: 5/5 Mar 15, 2025 Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire To say [Walton Goggins] goes out on a heavenly high is like saying Michael Jordan played a decent final game for the Bulls. Rated: A- Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Jack Hamilton Slate Season 4 opens with a striking, stand-alone episode that I won’t spoil other than to say that it’s probably the most ambitious half-hour that the show has ever undertaken. Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Alise Chaffins Loud and Clear Reviews The madcap adventures of the Gemstone family wrap up with a story that had this critic in tears by the end. [...] At its heart, The Righteous Gemstones is less about faith or religion or American megachurches and more about what it means to be a family. Rated: 4.5/5 Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Alex Maidy JoBlo's Movie Network Praise be to The Righteous Gemstones, may their legacy live forever. Amen. Rated: 9/10 Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Johnny Loftus Decider The fourth and final season of Gemstones is sure to offer an additional Lord’s bounty of laughs in the course of following whatever creative path Danny McBride has concocted to conclude its run.

Finny M This show was so smart and funny when it debuted, but season 4 is bad. Unwatchable. A very confusing plot with so many B stories and lots of literal waggling dicks for no reason. The writing is tired and I relies on improv 101 tropes. And dicks. And gross out sex jokes from the 90s. This cast is filled with comedic geniuses and they have nothing to work with. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review Taj M Season 1 was incredible - I was cracking up each line of each episode. After that season, it started going downhill. Then Season 4 fell off a cliff. I haven't laughed once. What happened to the writing?! The first episode with Bradley Cooper was cinematic - and a total miscalculation of what people are tuning into this show for. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Matt W The season started off with the brilliant first episode (Civil War-era, with Bradley Cooper) but since then, it has really Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/05/25 Full Review Anthony I this season is hilarious. this is the same old gemstones as always. people can have bad opinions Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/03/25 Full Review Jason S The first episode of season 4 was pretty great. But after it got back to the regular cast the show became unwatchable for me. I’m pretty picky and I loved the first 3 seasons. There was nuance with the outrageousness. But something really bad happened with the writing on this last one. I don’t think I’ll finish it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/01/25 Full Review cheryl s Not sure I can finish this season. The first episode was so intriguing, I was excited to see what the season had to offer. However, things turned unnecessarily raunchy. Was hoping for a meaningful send off to this series, but it is clear that will not be the case. If this get better, i will not be there to see it. Too bad.
