    I like this show, I find it interesting and better than most reality shows, to me it never started off slow it came right out of the gate ready to go. I will assume it probably will not be picked up and that will be a shame, I am 100% sure if it was given another season and broadcast-ed out there more so people actually knew about it, then it would really take off..

    I say ABC has gotten it right, full of action, suspense and yes at times a little sexual but heck bring it, as above better than reality shows.. Keep this show going !!    … Expand

    Why are bible productions always acted quasi Shakespearean with some kind of English accents that do not exist with Israelites sounding more like Indians. It is gorey, voiolent and lacks likeable characters and mostly does not convey any messages the books of Samuel are supposedly meant to do. Fingers crossed the producers are demanding a lot of changes.

    Think “Game of Thrones” for broadcast TV, minus dragons, with over-the-top melodrama, as much skin as broadcast TV will allow and bad dialog.

    Creators Adam Cooper and Bill Collage might have wanted to sex-and-violence up the most famous black book ever, but they end up just creating a bunch of silliness, full of shepherd bro talk and sexy Old Testament flirting. They are not aided by the television tradition known as Every Historic Tale Must Be Played by British Actors.

    It’s bloody, grim, as overtly sexual as a commercial broadcast network can be, occasionally engrossing and only tangentially related to any serious inquiry into Christianity.
