To start with, I'm an atheist & still love this series, so it's not at all an offensive religious theme, it's basic human kindness & respect, being good deep down, that's the goal & Landon helps troubled souls in his various "jobs" for god. With 111 episodes there's plenty to binge through on Netflix:)

I remember watching this in younger simpler times & as one reviewer put it, as does the show pilots dialogue, 1980 nor 2020 are those days! But as Landon says we can change it by being kinder & choosing to trust sooner. The values in the series closely match my own, even being an atheist, I've been part of religions before & understand the concept, the stories, etc.

I never saw the full series in sequence so grateful for tech like Netflix streaming, I can binge watch the show & it's way better an offering than what else is on tv these days. I highly recommend a rewatch or real run through watch of the series in sequence. We can all use that heart warming feeling, the smiles & laughs, the serious problems Landon takes on & how perfectly he deals with them.

A true masterpiece of a film, and Adrien Brody is the master actor such as I've never seen before. Until now I'd only seen him in the odd mafia flick, but in this he was sublime. All the actors gave amazing portrayals, but for me Brody stands out perhaps because of the extremes he was required to go to in this role. I'm not sure if Brody is a piano player, if he's not, then he may be the best actor I've ever seen. The viewer becomes invested in the characters of this film, but Brody is our guide through it all, and his character is the most developed of them all in this film. Others were scant where they could have been more full, maybe. The production quality, the settings, dismal depressing & terrifying scenes, all seemed nearly too real, one can easily lose themselves in this movie, immersing so fully it is nearly a shock when the ending comes & one is thrust back into the modern time and body. I had no idea this movie existed until today, nearly 10 years after its release. I watched it on a lark, not expecting anything of this level certainly. Once it began, I was lost to it through the last piano note.
