elvira-munoz1 The suspense makes u binge watch. Ron Perlman is such a great actor, loved his work in SOA. I wanted to see more of him :'( Watch this show it's awesome!

jengfarmer I really liked the idea behind this show - it explores the idea of madness versus religious experience - which is quite a brave thing to do. The story line is emotional and it's often pacy and gripping. Characters are not pigeon-holed as simply saints or sinners - and what interested me the most was trying to work out whether the show even had a moral compass or a particular religious standpoint. However, some (all) of the characters ARE ridiculous. It's no gritty real world exploration - (Bubbles from the Wire is now a mayor in a suit attending masked balls!!!) and hence the low-ish score. Its all a bit too glossy, US, nobody lives like that, talks like that, even thinks like that, to really do the concept justice - but 10/10 for an original brave idea and making it watchable. Oh and did I mention the totally unnecessary sex scenes? Yes they literally suck. There is a particularly agonizing one where they talk dirty in a restaurant toilet. I nearly had to switch it off I was so embarrassed for them.

Simply Put Absolutely brilliant series! Really original story with lots of twists and turns, and excellent characters who aren't straightforward 'goodies' or 'baddies'.If you are considering watching it, I would suggest avoiding reading too much about the plot or story. I watched it with minimal info, and heartily enjoyed watching the story and characters unfold in front of me, changing my mind about the characters and my theories about the story as I went! As a show centering around suspected 'messages from God', it would have been so easy for the plot to descend into silliness or clichés, the characters to be cheesy and the actors hammy. But none of that here! The story is rich and a bit dark, the characters well layered and acting very good - Ron Perlman is fantastic and very believable! As the 1st season could have been left as a stand-alone season, I am thrilled season 2 has been announced. I look forward into uncovering more secrets and lies! I just hope season 2 keeps the spirit of predecessor alive!

bluegattaca Every episode from this season I felt like I had to watch the next one to see what happens and they don't do it in a teasing you and not answering any questions kind of way. Ron Perlman is simply a fantastic actor and he does a great job here with his character. There's not much of a happy go lucky funny TV show going on here it's dealing with some serious issues of Pernell trying to save his son PJ by doing things that he believes god wants him to do and wondering if it's really god or if he is delusional. Pernell is a judge that has a lot of influence and others are trying to use that influence to get things done but while he is on this quest he becomes hard to control because that is his main focus is on saving his son and everyone trying to control him while he tries to solve mysteries about his son and they are trying to get what they need done and the two conflict. Im really not sure what they are going to do in season 2 but hopefully they can come up with something interesting. If anything Ron Perlman I'm sure will give a fantastic performance.
