Critic Reviews

Brian Lowry

Feb 28, 2013

Season 1 Review: Told with great earnestness and a Hans Zimmer score, The Bible hits only a few conspicuously awkward notes. Read full review

Linda Stasi

Season 1 Review: Much of this is tediously drawn out, with crazy fly-overs between Biblical Chapters that may make you think it’s “Survivor: Holy Lands,” which, of course, it is.... Things really pick up when Jesus shows up. Read full review

Rob Owen

Feb 28, 2013

Season 1 Review: It often plays more like an action film than a serious interpretation of a holy book. Read full review

Gail Pennington

Season 1 Review: I suspect that viewers who know the Bible well will be annoyed by "The Bible," while those who are casual students will be alternately mildly entertained and fairly bored. People with no religious beliefs probably won't watch anyway, but if they do, they could wind up confused or amused. Read full review

Sarah Rodman

Feb 28, 2013

Season 1 Review: As is, The Bible sometimes feels too facile, like a colorful Sunday school pop-up book come to life, albeit one with much more graphic violence (which some parents might want to preview before sharing with their kids). Read full review

Robert Lloyd

Mar 4, 2013

Season 1 Review: The Bible according to Burnett and Downey is a handsome and generally expensive-looking production, but it is also flat and often tedious, even when it tends to the hysterical, and as hard as the Hans Zimmer soundtrack strains to keep you on the edge of your sofa. Read full review

Glenn Garvin

Mar 4, 2013

Season 1 Review: With the pace of a music video, the characterizations of a comic book and the political-correctness quotient of a Berkeley vegetarian commune this production makes Cecil B. DeMille look like a sober theologian. Read full review
