GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

bw57 I give it 1 star because I find it offensive to show Obama a confirmed Muslim and Christian hater at beginning of this. Whose idea was that. don't you remember his remark about Christians? he is a number one Agent for Anti Christ and ISIS supporter. just look around. the series itself is all over the place.so disconnected . a twelve year old must have directed this. the only part they got right is the Devil which looks exactly like Obama.

javijavit I had been in the process of reading the entire Bible for the first time in one year and had many things fresh in my mind. I've got to say that it is very good and I like how the writer comes up with filling the blanks on many things that are simply unknown. Obviously, like anything, there is some opinion from the writer as to coming up with the internal scenarios that are not in the Bible, but they fit well with everything else. Long story short, well done and worth having a lot of more episodes. I highly recommend reading the Bible before or shortly after to understand the subject better and to be able to differentiate between what is from the Bible and what is not. In any case, what is not fits very well with what it is which makes the plot interesting. The episodes have been well thought and are very entertaining. I highly recommend watching them all.

Adriana Ioja the scenery, costumes, actors, are great, but the fidelity to the story....what about the fact that, even after the Israelites received the 10 commandments from God, they are presented as blood thirsty, killing any other with such thirst. I doubt they were like that, or that the Bible presents them so! In the name of God, and saying that God was with them they used to kill whoever stand in their way?! C'MON! this sounds like catholic crusades! I saw no episode of Benyamin in Egypt! was that not important?! I think this is one of the most important stories in the old Testament. I'm at the 3'rd episode, but already have a bitter taste. that line at the beginning, with "staying true to the story..." right! NOT!

EmpressOfTheSea Well now, I just finished watching this series. The Old Testament is mangled beyond belief & it's only the New Testament where stories of the Bible one grows up with are actually recognizable. This is why I give it half a rating.There are too many glaringly obvious deviations of the Old Testament but the one that leaps out at me the most is: Where in the hell is King Darius? HE is the one, not Cyrus, DARIUS! who tossed Daniel to the lion's den! However, this is hard to admit but, the parting of the Red Sea effects were great, probably better than Cecil B. DeMille! (This from a huge fan of the equally mangled "The Ten Commandments" movie. I like the effects & music, but that's a different story.) As for the New Testament, while the stories are finally becoming closer to 'canon from books' the settings are not. Anyone can go to Jerusalem (in times of peace) & see for themselves that Calvary Hill is not a big plain but is in fact, just as the Bible says, a large skull-shaped chunk of rock with the ancient cross-holes & sign-placement holes still there today making out the face. It is right beside the busy bus depot. Furthermore, whatever happened to "The Garden Tomb"? Not only does it say in the Bible that the tomb was part of a garden but also, again, anyone can visit it. The agreed site of the tomb of Jesus is at the edge of a lush garden. Furthermore, the tomb is about 12 to 15 feet away from the crucifying face of Calvary Hill. (In other words, if this story happened, Jesus could look right into his future tomb while hanging on the cross.) So I'm not sure where this was filmed, but definitely not on the direct locations.So, in conclusion, while the series makes from some good effects, just like the epic Ten Commandments, it still falls short of the original stories.
