This TV series has not aged well now that there's a "suburban shooting" nearly every week. The show might make more sense if set in West Texas where the gun culture is like a religion, but in domesticated England? Nope. Rather than playing comedy seriously, the actors know they are in spoof and mug accordingly. It's rather sickening to watch considering the subject.

I kept watching just to catch TH, but he had not gotten passed his teen years' ungainliness when this was filmed. He had bad skin and un-brightened teeth with little muscle tone, kinda shocking to see him as he was then compared to later. He got better looking.

Made in 2009, I would like to hear what the interviewees think today and it should be noted, these End Times Christians are a subset of mostly American Evangelicals and Pentecostals. It's also quite new inside Evangelicalism. And even the millennialists themselves are split on just which comes first: the Tribulation or the Rapture. The Rapture dogma is based on one paragraph in a letter from Paul of Tarsus.

The folks highlighted in the film are typical though of making precise predictions using more than an inerrant reading of the Bible, but taps into a Crusader warrior, medieval-like magical beliefs coupled with American nationalism. They seem convinced the New Earth begins with them.

Historically, fundamentalism that second guesses biblical prophecy has been treated by mainstream Christianity as nonsense or heresy.
