I recently re-discovered this classic on youtube.. Part One 1900 Age of Hope

@Hane recommended, last month (in the Bro. Gary topic), ”Binge recommendation: “The Righteous Gemstones,” an HBO series starring John Goodman,about a family made wealthy by their megachurch.” Realized I had HBO via my signing bonus (?) and that John Goodman is a headliner. It’s fabulous! Does anybody want to discuss? Burr under my saddle as to what’s coming up in Sunday’s episode under a spoiler This show is SO good. I binged it and I’m not that big a tv watcher generally. John Goodman’s presence lured me in, but literally every other actor in it blows a person away! And of course you can’t help but wonder how close the behind-the-scenes and the opulence of the fictitious family is to, say, the Shamblins and the Sprouls. You KNOW they’re underreporting, as it were, the riches of the Osteens. But as Osteen mentions Jesus once in a couple of blue moons, I can’t consider him evangelical. Just an incredibly successful grifter.

So I' watching television last night and an ad comes on for this show called "Chasing Destiny." I'm thinking, really, they are going to follow @Destiny around and make a show about her daily routine and stuff? Then I find it's just this: Some kind of talent search show. So disappointed. I was thinking something more like this: Just sayin...
