Season 2
Season two finds our blessed Gemstone family threatened by outsiders from both the past and present who wish to destroy their empire.
Season 3
When the spoiled Gemstone children finally get their wish to take control of the Church, they discover leadership is harder than they imagined and that their extravagant lifestyle comes with a heavy price.

It was funny, especially with the crude and obscene humor which you don't expect from a Christian family. Talk about irony! Although the main plot of the show was somewhat disappointing. I was expecting it to be more complex. However, it did had some touching moments. And like I said, I did found this show a bit funny.
