    It could have been a good series - an interesting idea and some fine acting from Ron Perlman and Dana Delaney. But where oh where did they find the appalling Alona Tal? Not since David Harewood's laughably inept performance in Homeland have we seen such dreadful acting. Awful.

    Really liked watching this show, it pulled me in with some of its smoldering melancholy & slightly noir quality melodrama, in addition to the fact that some of the acting is really good. But, fundamentally the story and packaging is superficial, non-sensical and the whole thing reads almost 'camp' at times. ( A slightly more serious Dynasty).

But, fundamentally the story and packaging is superficial, non-sensical and the whole thing reads almost 'camp' at times. ( A slightly more serious Dynasty). Much of the draw was the acting as there are a number of compelling performances, imv.

    There’s a much more entertaining but less intensely violent show buried in Hand of God somewhere.

    Hand of God’s strengths are its elongated scenes, enabling the characters ample time to play off one another.... The wheels keep turning but can take too long to get rolling while the plot hits some ruts in the road.

    This is a show that's unnecessarily bleak, far too impressed with its own edginess, and completely predictable to anyone who's watched television before.
