This is a first season. Some shows start out slow (like Defiance) but get better with following seasons. I like the program and feel it will get even better with time. I feel that the comments I have read are too harsh. My 40 year old son also likes the program. I like the effects and don't feel the actors are bad at all. I am wondering when we will get to see new episodes. I want to see what happens next. Let's give it a break. Many people in these days and times know very little about the bible. I feel this show may help get people interested in reading the bible which is a book of history and faith. I am not a religious fanatic or anything but the bible is referred to in our everyday life and people should be aware of it so they don't appear ignorant.
