Excellent, Without a doubt!!

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This show is about religion. It shows religion in a good, decent way, where it does not put faith in a very negative nor a preachy light. Religion is shown in a very diplomatic way. Despite that, there are many people who are giving extremely low reviews. I believe that many of them are either very anti-religious, trying to destroy the show simply because it is about Christianity, or they are Christian, wanting to kill the show because it does not follow what they want to be shown as the 'perfect' faith.The other group of people are upset because it does not follow the book on which it is based to the letter. This show is not supposed to do that. It is based loosely on that book, in that it is based on the idea the book follows. Therefore, it was never supposed to follow it exactly. The ratings have been dropped by many people with strong biases without actually giving it a chance.This series shows religion and the idea of living 100% by the bible in a very interesting and positive light, without forcing Christianity on anyone or forcing anyone away from Christianity. It deserves very good reviews, but since it is about religion and very loosely based on a book, there are many reviews that do not base it on the actual series and instead on their own biases.

Not really worth going out of your way for, but not particularly bad either.

Witty! Love the writing, love the character development! Please give this a full Season to develope! How did BBT do their first Season?

It's great to have a comedy with a little bit of ethics inside it. Those who are upset that our protagonist isn't starting wars or shedding blood should remember that the Bible is not just a book of rules but also a history of the Jewish people. Like most history, it's not meant to be repeated. Even many of the Old Testament laws were only intended for the locale. Cooking rules for a hot climate before refrigeration (no shellfish for example) don't apply today.I read the book and enjoyed it and although it only covered the Old Testament, I'm glad the show has included both Old and New so as to have more scope. I hope people give this a chance. It's is a great way to have a few laughs, but it can also be an interesting look at where and why we first got some of out ideas about wrong and right.
