Mar 9, 2016Why 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.
