What kind of show is The Righteous Gemstones?
Despite its ministry setting, The Righteous Gemstones is a scripted comedy, not a documentary. Its family story revolves around an evangelical ministry, sibling rivalry, inheritance, and public image. McBride told the Associated Press: “My hope honestly with creating the show was that people who are religious would watch it. That, ultimately, they would understand that this isn’t making fun of them, but it’s probably making fun of people that they identify and are annoyed by.”
