Divine: The Series

Divine: the Series has the stylings of a graphic novel, the action, pathos and effects of a movie and a creative team to be reckoned with. Maple Blood Productions and Divine: the series Creator and Director, Ivan Hayden really pulls out all the stops with this exciting new show. If you're looking for a show that does more than just run images across your screen while your brain switches off, if you're looking for a show that leaves you gasping, anticipating and questioning motives, consequences, causes and direction then Divine: the Series is for you!

And that's not even the half of what makes Divine: the series great. The crew are incredibly involving too, sharing Behind The Scenes photos and videos, along with podcasts and interviews and blogs ensuring an unparalleled connection with the audience.

If you are looking for cut and dry entertainment, then this series isn't for you! If you are looking to be entertained with creative and thoughtful content, then this series IS for you! Read the overview, read our comments, but make sure you watch Divine the Series with your mind open for your own interpretations. The concept is Christianity based but it doesn't matter what you believe, because the excellent actors and production will draw you into the story. The series is full of dark content, but you HAVE to watch! The characters are evil, hopeful, raw, but never cut and dried! The story is non linear, so the time-line will change and new characters and situations will leave you with more questions, so re-watching each episode is a must! You get to use your brain! Enjoy the series, and pray, cross your fingers, consult the latest spells, whatever you need to do, to help get more episodes. I also recommend divinetheseries.com to "learn" more; Ivan is there, sometimes, when he's not hiding!

I had heard about this web series and decided to check it out. I'm glad I did, its the best web series out there. There are so many different web series online now but this one is different. From the professional look to the story you won't be disappointed. It left me hanging and wanting more. I hope there's more to come. With so much junk on TV it's nice to watch something that is different. I had to go back and watch them all over again so I could understand the complete story. Such a talented cast, from Dan Payne as the lead character to his counterpart Chasty, it's well done. I really hope to see more of John Emmet Tracy as he's a very talented actor.

There is a lot of talent behind this production and it shows. It's kind of like being sucked into a live version of a graphic novel - and by the time you get out the other side you're questioning everything.

Great acting, great script - stunningly beautiful scenery and lighting. Fans of the genre will LOVE it. I would recommend that everyone give it a try - the story is solid and I was surprised that I grew to care about the characters in such a short period of time.

Very visceral - a bit classic and a bit forward-thinking. It's the kind of show that makes you think.

I'd love to see more of this.

As I watched the series, I related it to a lot of different horror animes I have seen, in terms of how the storyline moves. Baccano! and Paranoia Agent both have a storyline that moves out of chronological order, and various clues are given in each episode to show how the characters are connected and what the overall plot is. Divine works in this way, and so far they are doing a great job at it. I like watching a show that leaves me figuring things out and asking questions. I think Ivan Hayden needs to push more for the comic book feel that he is going for, but knowing there are more episodes being written, I can understand that the series is evolving. I like the show a lot and I enjoy Divine's relationship with Father Andrew. I can't wait to see more of their interactions. I'd recommend the show to anyone.
