Meh.  Would’ve been fine with that if they released 2 episodes so when the season started, we actually got the show. 

I agree. 

Didn't dislike it, but I that wasn't the "premiere" I expected or wanted. Whatever though - I'm sure next episode will be chock full of dick jokes and over-the-top vulgarity.

I will admit I just kept watching, waiting for the cut to present day.  Then after 15-20 minutes, I wasn't even sure I clicked the right show.

Same with my wife. “What is this?” “This isn’t funny.” “Why did they do this?” I enjoyed it but as someone above said they could have had 2 episodes drop.

Kelvin is more annoying than funny.

He's Kenny Fucking Bible Powers.

I thought the first season was genuinely clever and pretty funny.  All downhill since then.  As has been pointed out, the sister and baby billy have the best scenes and I could honestly skip the rest of the show at this point.

They're hilarious in this but mainly because of the characters they portray, not the actual lines. Ricky Gervais wasn't funny in The Office but the David Brent character was so pathetic he was funny to us as viewers. I think Jesse Gemstone is kind of playing the same type position. Kelvin being the stereotypical youth minister who is a closeted gay man (who might not even really realize it yet) is a funny concept.

I would agree that Baby Billy, Judy Lee and BJ bring most of the laugh-out-loud funny moments.

You lost me. This just makes no sense to me.  I don't understand making this distinction, unless you're talking about unintentional comedy. Like Tommy Wiseau and The Room .

Ricky Gervais is a brilliant comedic mind and is 100% responsible for David Brent being funny to us.

I could be wrong but I think he's saying that in the world of "the office" david brent would not be funny.  like if he actually existed and we were in that world and interacting him; he would come off much like he does to the other characters.  but from the perspective of a viewer watching a show, he is funny.  I can only hope that's what he meant because david brent is an absolute comedy legend.

What I meant was that Ricky Gervais's David Brent didn't issue classic funny lines. What was so awesome about that show -- and Gervais's genius -- is that he created comedy because his character was so terribly shitty -- and so completely unaware of how he was perceived by everybody else. He rarely had dialogue that you would sit back and laugh out loud at. That's my point. Those are the roles that McBride and, to a smaller extent, Devine are playing.

I want to be clear -- Gervais is one of the funniest minds of his generation.

McBride confirmed on Kimmel that Uncle Baby Billy’s stunt cock casting - they did not know the guy had no balls. Because you can’t ask them to strip before you hire doubles.

I was hoping that was a prosthetic. I feel sorry for that dude if it wasn't.

Just watched last night’s episode. Goddamn, Judy Lee brought the noise, especially in the scene where she went to talk to BJ at his pole-dancing class.

honestly didn’t even notice the lack of balls

 

loved episode 1. We’ll get plenty of Adam Demamp being a shithead and baby billy saying awesome stuff. The journey of the first gemstone was great.

they're mailing it in this season 

I’m not ready to go that far but so far, feels like episodes 2/3 were just 85% the 3 siblings riffing off each other.

Yaaaa this season blows so far. 

I haven't reached that conclusion yet. I'm enjoying it. Maybe it's going a little heavy on the who-can-say-the-most-shocking-things dialogue so far but that's what you're going to get from McBride/Hill. I was disappointed that we didn't get a single frame of Baby Billy in this episode. I also wonder what the season-long arc is going to be -- is Aimie Lee's best friend working an angle with Eli. Is this like Bo Derek/Rob Lowe in Tommy Boy?

I think Lori is related to Abel Grieves (the minister murdered by Civil War Gemstone in ep 1) and she has a long game to bring down the Gemstone empire. I think this episode's opening flashback sequence of someone trashing the Gemstone home and stealing the Bible that Civil War Gemstone stole from Grieves is the biggest clue of the season arc, and my bet is that Lori is connected.   I also wouldn't be shocked if Stifler is an illegitimate Gemstone from an Eli/Lori affair and that he ends up taking over the Gemstone empire, reclaiming what was stolen from one of his great-great-granddads by the other.
