Danny McBride's The Righteous Gemstones Season 3 premiere hinted that the three children would struggle running Eli's empire after he retired (ironic given John Goodman is working hard as ever these days), and Episode 4 showed the shoe finally drop in how it impacts their personal lives. Judy Gemstone faced the biggest reckoning of the bunch, as she was forced to reveal the affair she had on tour with former church guitarist Stephen to her husband, BJ. Now that the secret is out, I'm really hoping that BJ ends up leaving Judy.
It may seem weird for me to wish for this outcome, especially given the tone of the HBO series. After all, this show is a comedy. Should I really be rooting so hard for a specific character's marriage to fall apart? I'll admit that I'm shocked that I feel this way, but I have some good reasons for feeling that way and think it'd better serve the show.
