Could've been good but something's off kilter.

The best episode was the rodeo (5?) one. And what happened to the 2nd bad ombré?

Had a few good twists but missing chemistry.

Good actors in it but maybe it's the writing...because something doesn't gel. Sadly it's supposed to be Texas but filmed elsewhere. Hard to believe some events, as in aftermath of tornado; dang, the town cleaned up fast.

Not enough dance hall scenes; only saw one act. Later scenes looked like it was just a large diner.

There was a lot of hype for this but the series didn't live up to it. Yellowstone meets Virgin River? Nah. Hallmark version of Virgin River.

This is definitely NOT the Mary, Mother of Jesus, as she appears in the Bible. Totally inaccurate. Since Mary was "full of grace" as Gabriel is quoted in Bible, it is understood that she would have been an obedient child, not running amok, nor being late to prayers!

And where did they get the idea that Joachim was visited by an angel?

Gabriel is terribly cast. Temple head gear so weird!

After the scene of Gabriel & Satan with Mary, (Where did THAT come from?!?) I could no longer watch.

And the scene that Herod has visions into the future?! That's far-fetched! Still, Anthony Hopkins played him well.

Although I was skeptical at first, I enjoyed it.

So, sit back with your preferred beverage of choice, relax, and be entertained by some cheeky good fun.

Smart dialogue from the aristocratic implied verbage to common street lingo of thugs. In my opinion, this seemed like a mixture of Ozark and Peaky Blinders, though milder, with a few twists and turns. An enjoyable way to spend a rainy day; the length of the series with eight episodes was just right.

While everything for our protagonists seemed to be unraveling, in the end all loose ends were tied up in a neat bow, so to speak.

Well cast with great acting by all.

Will not disappoint.
