    Dead Serious about the rating. This has to be the funniest stuff I've seen on TV in a long while. Killing Jesus almost sounds like an atheist based podcast, doesn't it? It would be less offensive to the Christian Crazies that watch stuff like this than the show itself

    Good acting, very well done. I'm wondering how many of the negative reviews are people who don't like Bill O'Reilly. I don't agree with his views, but I won't base any review on who was responsible for the production.

    Jesus hits a few of his main talking points (first stone, do unto others, turn cheek), but only a fraction and not the most subtle of them. And neither Sleiman nor the script nor director Christopher Menaul lifts the story off the ground.

    Killing Jesus is apparently satisfied to look and sound vaguely cheesy.

    Rendered without much embellishment and acted with firmly controlled vigor, Killing Jesus, a TV adaptation of the bestselling book by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard, is a fine retelling of the story of Jesus Christ as a historical figure.
