    Season 1 was a real surprise treat and season 2 doesn't disappoint in the least. Unlike so many others that pull back and start to draw things out for subsequent seasons, "Hand of God" continues its passionate drumbeat of high drama. Not one element that you loved in season 1 is lost or dropped in season 2. All aspects are just excellently executed, and the season finale leads us nicelySeason 1 was a real surprise treat and season 2 doesn't disappoint in the least.

    'Hand of God' is so uninteresting it is a miracle it's over. FINALLY. Despite an all-star cast this show is one of the worst experiences I've ever had on television.

    It deserved more than two seasons.

    The series can’t be anything but good when it stars Ron Perlman and Garret Dillahunt (and others). Perlman is Judge Pernell Harris, the corrupt judge has a breakdown after the suicide attempt of his son. This breakdown results in him falling in with a con-artist preacher and his girlfriend, and gaining a loyal follower in Garret Dillahunt. The    It deserved more than two seasons.

    This breakdown results in him falling in with a con-artist preacher and his girlfriend, and gaining a loyal follower in Garret Dillahunt. The voices point to who is responsible for the attempted suicide and a whole host of intrigue begins from there.

    Originally I was going to do reviews on the season level, but sadly Amazon notified the public that there was only two seasons, so I felt I could do it in one go.

    The story starts off intriguing and just hits almost all the right tones. Perlman is always great, there are small hints of his character in SoA, along with other characters he has played. Garret Dillahunt is standout in this and the intensity of his character almost steals the show.

    There were some less stellar parts. I found after the first six episodes I didn’t like the storyline with the preacher and his girlfriend, and in the second season I disliked how Perlman’s “faith” changed (I won’t go into details though). However, that being said I really enjoyed the series and I am saddened that it didn’t get a third season. I can’t stress enough how much I enjoyed Ron Perlman especially.

    Pros: With the name Perlman in the credits, it is going to be a fun watch, he doesn’t disappoint and neither does his “Benaiah” played by Garret Dillahunt. The scenes with just the two of them make it worth the time.

    Cons: The preacher storyline I found annoying. However, that could be because I don’t have a strong attachment with that portion of religion and not the fault of the actors/actresses involved.

    I am disappointed there wasn’t a third season.    … Expand
