God Bless Judy, Our Most Precious Gemstone
The success of these comedic confrontations speaks volumes about Edi Patterson, who brought Judy to life as an unstoppable force throughout the four seasons of the show. In fact, it’s a testament to her that Judy was even a viable character at all. It wouldn’t be hard to envision this role collapsing in less skilled hands. Judy is one of three siblings; her older brother plays the creator of the show and her younger brother is a church leader in a same-sex relationship with a former Satanist. She consistently delivers over-the-top performances, often using profanity and explicit sexuality, with a middle child’s energy reminiscent of Succession‘s Shiv Roy since the series ended and she departed.
