Synopsis of The Righteous Gemstones

Eli Gemstone is a widowed televangelist heading one of the best-known evangelical families in South Carolina. His church, Gemstone Salvation Center, funds a lavish lifestyle for him and his children Jesse, Judy and Kelvin, all immature and driven by ambition. When Eli turns to his brother-in-law Baby Billy Freeman, a former child actor with a reputation for lying, to lead a new church set up in a shopping mall, the project clashes with Reverend John Wesley Seasons, whose small neighboring chapel is at risk. At the same time, three masked figures blackmail Jesse with a compromising video showing him with his closest friends. Created by Danny McBride, the series airs on HBO and stars McBride himself, John Goodman, Adam DeVine and Edi Patterson.
