Apr 6, 2015If 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.
-
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.
