Testament

Everything from the story writing, the acting, the music, the landscape is all top quality.

It's difficult to take a period drama and make it modern, but this has been done with such care and class.

The stories are authentic to the original script (The Book of Acts) but have been brought into a society that we can relate to.

I am quite critical when it comes to misusing scripture, and I can honestly say I have very little, if anything, to critique here. It is loaded with gems of truth, easter eggs and nuggets to find. It keeps the tension while endearing you to the characters.

I highly recommend this show to anyone.

I hadn't imagined that a present day retelling would be so well done. I've enjoyed every single episode, eagerly awaiting the next! The actors chosen to portray the well loved, early followers of Christ, do them justice! I'd watch these same actors act in the retelling of the gospels in this style! Simply outstanding!

This is such a cool way to present bible stories. First of all it is entertaining and captures my attention. It's really enjoyable. Secondly, it has caused me to see Peter, Saul and the other apostles in a different light. I am learning differently and it is inspiring. I find the stories more relatable to my life.

I can watch this with my family, we all love it and we have had great conversations about the gospel. Highly recommend.

I started this series with a skeptical eye but was quickly pulled into the story. I like the blend of old and new settings and costuming. The first 2 episodes required extra attention from the viewer as there are so many characters. But once I knew them all I was totally into the series. I am hoping there will be a second season as there is so much more of this story to tell. This is a true Christian movie that I can recommend to friends who consider themselves unbelievers. Well acted. Well scripted. Well directed.

Never imagined that a show like this could exist but here we are. I've always loved movies and shows with themes of political rebellion and survival set in a dystopian future. It reminds me of The Divergent Series or The Hunger Games but adding in the familiarity of scripture. The way the writers reimagined the book of acts felt completely fresh to me and I never felt bored or that it was predictable even though I have read the book that inspired it. It challenged my assumptions about what it must have been like on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit fell upon the church. It also challenged my assumptions about who these early Christians were as people and how they related to each other. The acting is also excellent. Well done to the creators. I'm truly looking forward to each episode.
