Testament

I wasn't expecting much when I first sat down to watch it, but wow! What a powerful and well-done presentation. This production truly exceeded my expectations in every way. It's a modern, creative, and compelling way of telling the stories from the first several chapters of the book of Acts, and it does so with both reverence and relevance. Whether you're familiar with the biblical narrative or just exploring it for the first time, this is something that will grip your attention and leave you thinking.

What stood out to me most was how the story was brought to life in a way that felt fresh without compromising the message. The characters felt real, their struggles and victories relatable, and the way the scenes were crafted gave me a deeper appreciation for what the early believers went through. The production team clearly put a lot of heart into it-everything from the acting to the visuals to the soundtrack worked together to communicate something bigger than just entertainment. It made the events of Acts feel immediate, alive, and incredibly relevant to today's world.

There were moments of deep emotion, intense drama, and even surprising joy. You could sense the transformation happening in the lives of the characters as the Holy Spirit moved, and it left me inspired and challenged in my own walk with God. The themes of faith, persecution, courage, unity, and the unstoppable spread of the gospel are woven throughout in a way that's accessible but powerful.

Never imagined that a show like this could exist but here we are. I've always loved movies and shows with themes of political rebellion and survival set in a dystopian future. It reminds me of The Divergent Series or The Hunger Games but adding in the familiarity of scripture. The way the writers reimagined the book of acts felt completely fresh to me and I never felt bored or that it was predictable even though I have read the book that inspired it. It challenged my assumptions about what it must have been like on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit fell upon the church. It also challenged my assumptions about who these early Christians were as people and how they related to each other. The acting is also excellent. Well done to the creators. I'm truly looking forward to each episode.

My husband and I both agree that this is one of the best, if not the best show/movie produced by Angel studios. I really applaud the creators and actors for sticking true to the narrative of the book of Acts (as much as one can when recreating and adding a modern day twist). This show has deepened my perspective and added life to the book of Acts, while doing a phenomenal job of not taking too many creative liberties or diluting the book itself. I also have found myself diving into the scriptures found within Acts, and it has increased my awareness and understanding of how difficult it must have been for the disciples and new believers. All in all, I highly recommend this show!

My family and I have been genuinely surprised by how fantastic the Testament series has been, at least through Season 1. At first, I was hesitant about placing the events of the book of Acts into a modern-day setting, but I was wrong to doubt it. The storytelling is compelling, the performances/acting are strong, and the emotional and spiritual depth is remarkable. I'm surprised this series hasn't gotten more attention, because in many ways, it stands shoulder-to-shoulder with The Chosen. Like that series, Testament is full of powerful, testimony-building moments and affirmations of truth. I'll be recommending it to as many like-minded people as I can.

Everything from the story writing, the acting, the music, the landscape is all top quality.

It's difficult to take a period drama and make it modern, but this has been done with such care and class.

The stories are authentic to the original script (The Book of Acts) but have been brought into a society that we can relate to.

I am quite critical when it comes to misusing scripture, and I can honestly say I have very little, if anything, to critique here. It is loaded with gems of truth, easter eggs and nuggets to find. It keeps the tension while endearing you to the characters.

I highly recommend this show to anyone.
