The Faithful: Women Of The Bible spins a compelling view of the book of Genesis that hasn’t been explored to this point, with performances that humanize the figures being featured, overcoming some clumsy writing.
-
The series can't strike a successful balance between authentically bringing these women to life and rewriting their stories to fit the prepackaged concept the series was sold as in the first place. Perhaps future episodes will prove this reviewer wrong and better embrace the text that first turned these women into historical, even legendary, figures in the first place.
-
It’s a fairly stiff, dutiful but uninspired telling of biblical matriarchs’ tales.
-
It places too much faith in the inherent draw of its subjects, and not enough in the power of back-to-basics storytelling.
-
Its aesthetic is more of your local nativity play, the kind where kids perform with blankets over their heads, secured with braided ribbons (if they’re lucky). .... There’s not enough in “The Faithful” to entice viewers who aren’t hungry to see Bible stories on screen.
