God Friended Me

I thought at first this was a sitcom and I didn't plan to watch it, then I decided to tune in online. And I'm so in love with it. Someone mentioned something about if you like a show that is saccharine. Well maybe I do. Maybe I'm a touched by an angel kind of person, but I loved it. I can't wait to watch it, and this time in real time.

Maybe it's saccharine. Maybe it's too sweet. But maybe it's time we get back to some of those kinds of shows when all we see now is killing and forensics and drugs and terrorism.

If you're feeling for a sweet, clean kind of show, then maybe this is it and it's time to tune in.

What amazes me about the 1 votes listed here is the sheer hypocrisy. First of all, a one vote tells you they are voting emotionally rather than honestly. Secondly, they are raging about their personal ideology while condemning other for theirs. The biggest trespass. in my opinion, is why watch a show with this title and comment at all if you are am anti-God person? There are tons of cooking recipe reviews from individuals on the internet. The ones that drive me crazy are when a person rates a Mushroom soup recipe 3 out of 5 stars (or worse) because "she hates mushrooms", but her husband said it was wonderful so she gave it a 3. If you hate the main ingredient, DON'T EAT IT. This is exactly the same. If you "hate" the idea of God, don't watch and don't comment. The show is very much like an Early Edition update, so it loses points for creativity there, but it is sweet and the cast does a good job. I've seen the first three episodes. I don't think it's a spoiler to say that a big message is to Listen to each other and keep an opened mind both ways. That is always a timely and valid message.

Good locations, good situations, easy going acting and a feel good factor. God or no god, humanity is about helping each other. Who doesn't like a good emotional tale? Even if there was God, would he be more worried about what we think of him or what we think of our fellow beings? Enjoy the show and allow yourselves to feel good sometimes.

3 episodes in and really enjoying it.

I approached this show with some trepidation, but after really enjoying Kevin (Probably) Saves the World, I gave this a go and have no problem saying that I am really enjoying it and look forward to more episodes.

All of the actors have really good chemistry and they have all put in really good performances so far. Most are unknowns to me, but a few I have seen before and enjoy seeing them again.

None of the religious overtones are at all overdone which would have turned me off straight away.

Highly recommended, 9/10 so far, hope the standard is maintained.

EDIT: After watching episode 4 my rating for the show has to be amended to and 8.

Sometimes I think people ruin shows and movies by trying to explain every little detail. What happened to just enjoying entertainment without having to have every last detail covered? I see this whenever I'm looking through reviews. This is a feel good show if you allow it to just be. It's not the best show that I have ever watched but I enjoyed the first episode and find myself looking forward to the next. Maybe take in a few before condemning it:)
