generationofswine Just let me get something off my chest, I used to work in history and the thing that irritates me the most when I read reviews on things like this are the people yelling "Not Historically accurate!!!!!"Yeah, you're right, it's not historically accurate...it's made to entertain. 300 wasn't historically accurate and if it were, it would have been a completely different movie.No, there are some things I take issue with, if you make Othello White, for instance, that I can't stand...or the BBC's Black Achilles. Those are taking a bit too many liberties for me. Achilles isn't exactly Nick Fury, if you make him Black it kind of stops him from being an ancient Greek.That being said, The Bible Continues does kind of do that, but not at all to an extreme. There are a few instances when you are like, really, he's supposed to be an Ancient Greek?...nope, doesn't look the part. But that's few and far between and you get the sense that the decisions were made for pro talent and not to pull a Last Jedi.Moving on....The Bible I absolutely LOVED because of how it was segmented...just long enough to draw you in and short enough not to get dull. it was perfect.This is not done the same way. So you don't have the Earnest Hemingway fear of being boring feel to it and instead you get segments that drag and, in some cases, drag long enough to both feel preachy and get very, very dull.True it is telling a different story, and it is also true that the talent is still there and in spades...but the execution this time around is lacking. The first take the segments hit you fast and kept you entertained...and this one seems drawn out.The best comparisons is "North and South" where you are watching it, you recognize that it is still good...but that doesn't stop you from getting bored with long parts of it.If you want to sit through it...it isn't bad. But if you want to watch something about Jesus, you have both "The Last Temptation of Christ" and "Jesus Christ Superstar" that both deal with the subject matter in a way that doesn't seem to drag.Watch it if it's on, you won't be disappointed, but don't go out of your way to catch it, it's not worth that amount of effort.

guidokuwas As a Bible believing Christian, I enjoyed the series but was disappointed to see so many things portrayed differently than in the Bible. Probably because of political correctness sake, the apostle John is played by a great big African. That is fundamentally so untrue. They were all Jews, not Africans. John was a fisherman, son of a Jewish fisherman. Mary Magdalene black? No she was a woman from the village/town Magdala - solid Jewishness. But there again, I understand that the production was from a Catholic point of view. Catholics do not believe in the Bible as the sole source of God's Word. They use what is of advantage to them and the rest they ignore. But there again, I am thankful that at least it's probably the best Christian-themed series out there... So, all in all 7/10.

rberuffi Though there are some inaccuracies with respect to the authentic biblical account of the Book of Acts, the series is a good watch. I found the Drama well acted and intense, keeping me on the edge of my proverbial seat, spurring me to keep on watching. There is artistic licence which I do not totally agree with, like some of the interpretations of the characters, but if one reminds oneself that it is, after all, dramatised artistic licence that we are dealing with, one can overlook the inconsistencies without becoming overly frustrated or disappointed. Yes, the way some of the scenes were interpreted left me feeling a little bit betrayed due to their inconsistent irreverence with respect to the authentic biblical account, but having said that, I have nevertheless still enjoyed the series.

Jock Lindholm Since when was any of the apostles colored? and Mary Magdalene was colored? This was in Judea, the apostles was Jews, the likelihood of anyone of them being colored is somewhere along the line of me being a pope. I am tired of politically correct movies, if yours going to make a movie or miniseries or whatever based on the lives of Jesus Christ or the gospel, then for the love of GOD, don't mix in PC crap into it.Next you will see a Mohammed thats Japanese. Or perhaps Buddha thats white.This series is so filled with inaccuracies that I was disgusted after the first 30 minutes and quit watching. do not waste your time with this.
