Comment on Episode 1 of the new season of righteous gemstones is lost cause propaganda
Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoif it was a serious show I’d agree but it’s satire
I agree, righteous gemstones generally whitewashes the southern church and rarely shows the racism and homophobia that would be present. But I give it a pass because it’s funny, this episode wasn’t funny. The only joke of the show was him giving a bad sermon to those troops, the rest was just sad imagery of confederate boys dying. This episode was them trying to be serious and it didn’t work IMO.

Satire doesn’t have to be “funny”. I think you’re running into the rigidity of your expectations.
