    If you enjoyed "The Bible" mini-series on History, you'll enjoy this, too. It picks up with Jesus' death and will chronicle the account in Acts of the building of the early church. This has better effects and better acting than the first series, but it's still a little dry.

    Yet another absurdity from the Burnett brood.. I can't tell if this film was meant to feel like a lifetime movie or a fictionalized tale from the Bible. Regardless, the storytelling and acting are so removed from anything believable that it only serves to shore up an evangelical base to rally around a mediocre (at best) tv movie. Sad that this is what passes these days as entertainment.

    A very entertaining and educational sequel to the greatest story ever told. This excellent TV series tells the story that everyone should know, the story of the early days of Christianity, and tells is wonderfully.

    I am enjoying this. I am eager to see each episode. Television in general is pretty poor but this is a bright spot in my week. Yes, I know it "distorts" the Book of Acts, but, folks, this is Biblical FICTION. Each episode has had one or several incidents from Acts along with the ongoing story. I watch it as much for the costumes and for the Pontius Pilate and Claudia storyline. II am enjoying this. I am eager to see each episode.

I hope AD will have at least another season; they're only partway through Acts at this point. On the whole, it has been tasteful and done well.… Expand

    The otherwise unknowable details of conversations, wonder and doubt about the apparent resurrection, and political maneuvering are filled in a respectable but usually lively way by a cast of accomplished actors.

    There's a lot to like about this production that depicts the birth of Christianity not as yet another dogmatic swords-and-sandals religious epic, but more like a political thriller. It's frustrating, then, that the action stumbles only when it turns its focus toward heaven.

    A.D.: The Bible Continues makes odd, sometimes debilitating choices (“What is it about this Jesus?” is an actual line) that prevents it from being a cheesy but compelling take on a well-told story.
