King Ralph is the patriarch, Danny Mcbride and the annoying guy from Workaholics are his sons. And they're mega-church evangelists with the last name of Gemstone.
And there's some deep corruption in their church.
This is sort of a comedy, sort of a drama, and I think its intent is to take down the weirdness of churches.
There are currently two seasons. I just finished S1E2.

Can't vouch yet. There have certainly been some left-turns in even the first two episodes.

Three episodes in. I have seen one pair of breasts, and maybe 4 dongs. Full twig and berries.
I forget which one of you is the current "is gay" target, but consider this an enticement for you to watch.

S1E4 - I want to go to that club. Satanic metal drug orgy is exactly my jam.
Boobs galore. Small number of penises.

Why does Hollywood think boobs are equal to penises?

Finished S1. I think it's a solid show.
Gave me "Big Love" vibes, and I don't think just because of the religious aspect of both shows. The kids all stop just shy of being terrible, but they all had their moments of fleshing-out. John Goodman, surprisingly, is sincere. He's trying to be a good minister.
And the show never showed the (individual) audience/church-goers as ignorant rubes, or zealots. That isn't what the show is about, at least in S1. It seems to be putting a spotlight on "Big Religion," but not at the expense of the congregation. Interesting.

S2 is done. Show remains solid. A lot of character growth this season.
