God Friended Me

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:)

My husband and I watched this during lunch today and I'm so glad we did. It was interesting, fun and left us wanting to see it again. We absolutely loved the characters. We hope the writers continue to keep it up-lifting. Shades of Eli Stone, Joan of Arcadia and ? I plan to come back and re-review the show after I have seen more episodes. Update: The second episode did not disappoint. In fact, it might have been even better than the first! Love this show.

First, I never give anything a 10. Nothing in the media has ever moved me enough to label it as perfection. I currently (to be adjusted after more episodes) give this a 10 because I feel the current 6.4 is way too low for this show. I felt good after seeing this, is that so horrible. I never felt preached to or that I should believe this or that. The actors fit well together and the writing seems way above average. Wish there were more shows like this. It's nice to feel good now and then without having to think about it.

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.

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.
