    Beautiful choice of images and words. Closer to a pilgrimage than a documentary. Freeman obviously enjoys all his encounters and all he discovered. That's the best part of the serie: to watch a man who can still see wonders.

    Morgan Freeman delivers a personal journey into one of life's greatest journey. It is enlightened by all spiritual aspects, thought provoking and encourages reflection of self. I am looking forward to seeing more from Morgan. His soothing voice and personality make this a new favorite.

    Enjoyed it, even if it moves slowly in some spots. Not surprised at the critics reviews, anything purporting to take the subject matter of religion seriously is usually panned.

    What's with the low ratings? Who cares if some may loose their faith, that's a good thing. I found this entertaining and Morgan gives the different faiths the respect they deserve. Nothing islamophobic in it.

    There’s a kind of joke built into the series, which makes effective use of his sonorous voice and easy-but-earnest style. Unfortunately, Mr. Freeman is also saddled with dialogue that may cause some to lose their faith.

    The show's two halves--world mythologies about the afterlife and Freeman's own charming persona--mesh remarkably well. [1/8 Apr 2016, p.100]

    By casting such a wide net, viewers may leave feeling they know a little about a lot.
