May 27, 2022Should have ended after one season. Season 2 was, like almost everything else on "tv", overstretched , bloated and over-the-top, with the proverbial "shark jumping" being the killing/revival of a central character. That said. It's still more watchable than the majority of the self-serious nonsense coming from woke 'Meuhrika.

“Gemstones” is brave, and I want it to explore rather than shy away from all that subtext—which is that straight white men are straight white men because the rest of us are not.

The beauty of McBride, Green and Hill’s small-screen triumph is the way in which it couches its over-the-top exclamations in fittingly lewd and preposterous scenarios. McBride’s Jesse is the corrupt soul of these proceedings, his arrogant greed and ambition almost as great as his pathetic longing for validation from both his father and his peers (at whom he sneers). He’s complemented by one of the best casts in television.

It is a comedy with every fiber of its being, and the funniest one currently on air. ... Gemstones’ extraordinary collection of comedic talent makes it a joy to watch even when its narrative flow occasionally lurches.
