The Righteous Gemstones returned for its fourth and final season with a surprising episode titled "Prelude" that takes place during the Civil War.

The episode showcases extreme violence and diverges from typical comedic elements, suggesting a deeper exploration of themes related to religious hypocrisy. Despite its serious tone, the episode has received acclaim, earning a rare 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
