Don't get me wrong, I love fiction, but one has to somewhat stretch one's credulity for this show. Set in an antediluvian Judea, it's hard to not critique with perhaps what some might consider pejorative words, sadly, it is all rather difficult to believe.
The fabulous good looks of the hero, an anachronistic white American in the Middle East of 2000 years ago, or so the story goes, plays the fictional Jesus with stylish aplomb. The character is a good man, who cares for the poor, helps the needy, welcomes immigrants, is tolerant and kind, I mean who could possibly be against that? Really, who would object to that today, 2000 years later. If people chose this story as a mode de vie, surely they would agree with these empathetic tenets.
For a fantasy show, it's alright, but I'm just not buying it.

I loved the first season, it didn't need a second 2nd season. The writing was great in season 1, now it's sloppy and the stories feel poorly sellotaped together with plot developments that leave you feeling incredulous.
The young detective, Una, may be the most obnoxious and irritating character I have ever seen in a TV show, she is vile, utterly awful, and we are supposed to believe she has cutting insight into everything. She is smug, frivolous, and so utterly annoying I almost can't watch the show. Genuinely despise her character.
It's the brilliant acting of all the sisters and the banter between them that is the only saving grace (no pun intended), they are utterly brilliant, again.
All I can hope is they don't squeeze out a third season.
