Hand of God

I was really surprised to see the negative reviews from the reviewers and Rotten Tomatoes. Of course, no show is right for every one, that is why we has thousands of different shows to watch but for me, this was a great show. Continued to keep my attention and made me want to watch the next episode immediately. Wonderful work from Ron Perlman and Dana Delaney (and I'm not a huge fan of hers). The supporting cast were very good as well.

I will admit there are parts of the show that drift off, are derivative and just all-around don't make sense, but those are small. In the end, the show is compelling, interesting and an excellent series.

It's a shame, there will be no season 3, it deserves it.

An easy-to-follow and engaging show that keeps things right. Uncertainty of the show, the story is definitely unique and well written. Dan Delany & Ron's acting and character is very supportive.

I think I am at the 900 mark or so for reviews, a stat which should amply qualify me to review this series.

No, it doesn't.

This one is unpredictable, and off the wall. It is a series about insanity written in such a way that even the viewer cannot fully believe what is on screen .. and that is a good thing.

And the writing is not the standout -- the acting too is stellar, Ron P always excellent and Dana D (of Lois Lane fame) looking better at her age than anyone has a right to look.

To say I was transfixed would be an understatement. I am hooked and will be watching the other 9 episodes faster than you can say "Born Again."

Review based on the first episode: I sincerely hope this show keeps up the tension and atmosphere of the pilot. Apart from The Killing, there aren't many TV shows which revolve around broken and unlikable characters. It just isn't pleasant to watch stressed, struggling and often unpredictable people. Yet, such TV leaves you feeling like you experienced something emotional. Among all the ugliness, even the smallest pleasant act or scene can mean a lot; when our tiny hopes for a positive resolution are fulfilled, we appreciate it all the more.

The acting and cinematography are great. The interactions are realistic and the viewer understands each character. Every scene seems important and keeping focus is rewarding. Not knowing what to believe, whom to trust and what the motivations are, is a necessary part of such a show, however what subtle hints we do get are delivered very well.

I don't want to praise this show prematurely, considering we have only seen one episode, however if it keeps up the twists, plots and great characters, I am sure it will be a success.

Considering the amount of people who feel the irresistible need to tell others their views on religion, I suppose a lot of viewers will express strong opinions about the themes of this show. I hope others will not be dissuaded by those opinions. This is a clever show, definitely not aimed at advertising anyone's beliefs or conversely, offending anyone else's.

I was surprised by all the poor reviews on "rotten tomatoes".

Just signed up to amazon prime, tried this TV show out, was doubtful because of the bad reviews, however this show has been quite fun to binge - 8 episodes in, and loving it! Its got politics, ron perlman, ron perlman.

people may be touchy about the way religion is portrayed, but as an aetheist idgaf. It comes as real, and although some of the supernatural themes feel unreal, everything else is fken fantastic.
