John Paul Mary in The Friar (2008)

Review by Jannelaine-246-989246

The Friar

10/10

Jesus's Parables in a fun and approachable format

This is one of the best tv series available. It is a catholic show, but all christians will appreciate it as each episode is dedicated to retelling one of Jesus's parables. Each episode has a re-enactment of the parable, a story about a saint who embodied the lesson of the parable, and a song about it. The episodes are all led by "the friar," a patient priest who has a few little friends (puppets) who he helps understand what each parable means. Through these parables, Renata (a girl), Leopoldo (a frog) and Tim (a mouse), learn about Jesus's will for them and their lives with classic parables like "building your house on solid rock," the birds of the field, the sower, light under a bushel, and quite a few others. I recommend this to any and every christian friend with children but it's one of the few kids shows which i don't despise watching because it's fun and the music is good. My favorite character is Leopold, he is very silly but his heart is always in a good place.
