I struggle to write this review as I really wanted this movie to excel like other Angel offerings.
The basic premise is fantastic. Put Luke and the other disciples in the modern, though slightly distopian era.
Sadly, the result is slow and is a bit all other the place. I failed to engage in any of the characters.
As others have noted, the modern retelling of the parables is so progressive, it at times appears to diminish the divine.
As a positive, I appreciate that this was a UK production.
I really want to encourage Angel in their endeavours, but this one just misfires. Overall, acting is good, it isn't cheesy, it is fundamentally too long and at the end I'm not sure where we actually landed.

The first season starts slow with multiple threads and intrigue, and eventually gives you enough to tune into the second season.
Acting is generally well and the plot ends up being well delivered
The second season sadly, is a confused mess with an entire parallel plot that goes nowhere. The second season ends as a disappointing mess of nothing.
Acting in the second season is poor with wooden script delivery from almost all.
Ultimately a frustrating experience, that could have offered way more, but fails to deliver.
In conclusion, season 1 is enjoyable, season 2 greatly disappoints. Sorry. 😪
