The Encounter

I loved The Encounter movie, and the series is just as good. Each episode has a solid plot where someone is facing trouble or a turning point in their life, and Jesus appears in the flesh to help them through. The series is scripturally sound, and very entertaining.

On a Pureflix page, they compare this to "Touched By An Angel," which is just plain blasphemy. That show had great writing with actual depth, authenticity, and good production value. This... immature writing and sub par production. Flat, uninspired, no nuance - it's like a student film. Why, why, why do they keep doing this? Why, why, why does the audience keep watching? They've conditioned people to accept such bad quality. Please, Christian viewers, demand more. This won't reach a single non believer and it only lends to the view that Christians are bad filmmakers. They should be better than mainstream. That's the only way to reach beyond the walls of the church.

After watching The Encounter (original movie), and The Encounter: Paradise Lost and enjoying both, I was really looking forward to this series. It didn't disappoint. I really enjoy it Bruce Marchiano's modern-day portrayal of Jesus. He is warm and friendly, and gives a loving touch to the relationship Jesus Christ desires to have with each one of us. I binge-watched the first season, then had to wait for each new episode of the second season to come out! I look forward to each new episode...and only wish there were more episodes to a season!

The Encounter Series is THE BEST "Jesus" tv show ever! It does not showcase Christianity! It showcases JESUS.. I also the own the encounter movies which the show is based off of and seeing Bruce's portrayal as Christ just makes me cry a river... I own a few other movies of bruces! Alison's Choice, Come Follow Me, the road to Emmaus, and couple others... Ive said this before and I'll say it again... Bruce is the best "tv Jesus" and THE WORLD needs to watch his movies and shows, and see JESUS in his performance... You'll forget that it Bruce and you'll actually feel the presence of Jesus in your home.. PLEASE PUREFLIX HURRY UP WITH A BLURAY RELEASE

The series is family friendly, well written, quality television. Each episode can stand alone with it's story line. The acting, writing, and production is well done and uplifting. The original movie and sequel had it's moments when it seemed a bit predictable and other moments when it seemed a little forced, but that is not the case at all with the series. Worth watching!
