Testament

Testament brings the narrative of the early gospel movement to life right before your eyes, in a modern context. Not cheesy, but faithful to the sacred text in its message in many ways. It's well done, I anticipate the new releases every week. One of the best things I enjoy is seeing the humanity of those who are heroes of the faith. We see their doubts, their emotions, relational tension between them and with family members. Even the fact that they had family members and lived in a complicated in between world adds to the dynamics. Intensity, joy, surprise, sorrow... you see a full range of emotions and I felt that I could relate to the characters.

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.

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 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!

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.
