Hand of God

I loved this series. It took a few episodes to hook me, but once it did, inwas all in. The casting was perfect for this show. I became invested in each character. The story is definitely unique and well written. I lqould have loved more however. 2 seasons is not enough.

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.

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.

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."

I loved this pilot and anxiously await the next installment. I really appreciated having to think and pay attention, I thought the acting was top notch across the board (the most I've ever liked Dana Delaney or Ron Perlman) and the plot was intriguing and leaves this one with a lot of places to go. I felt for a father trying (and failing) to cope with the loss of his son. We see a man who has done bad things trying to change (and it will be a slow process) and STILL making mistakes. The sense of doom as Pernell and KD hurtle down a path the audience knows they shouldn't take, and then the twist at the end leaves you saying "Now what?!"

I think it is interesting that most of the one-star ratings reviews I read complain about one of two things: 1) It's too pro-Christian or 2) It's too anti-Christian. Which is it? Maybe it's not so clear cut as that. At no point did I feel like this was supposed to be a champion of either camp. It's just the frame for this particular story. Flawed people grasping at any reason they can find to justify their actions. This didn't change any view I already have about Christianity or religion in general.

There are plenty of unlikable people here (as in every good story) but plenty, also, who I am rooting for as well. They don't go about things the way I would--but I already know how THAT story plays out. I want to have an experience far from my own and far from the expected.

It's not for everyone--nothing I seem to really enjoy is. Deadwood, No Country For Old Men, Breaking Bad, Assassination of Jesse James, Chopper, Animal Kingdom. This series has a lot of potential and I hope Amazon gives it the chance to grow and expand on what is an excellent beginning.

Enjoy.
