TV show description:
A drama series set in New York City, God Friended Me revolves around a thoughtful and outspoken podcaster named Miles Finer (Hall). Miles is an atheist and that puts him at odds with his father, Reverend Arthur Finer (Morton), a beloved and longtime preacher at Harlem’s Trinity Church.
Miles’ life is turned upside down when he receives a friend request on social media from a user named “God”. He ignores and declines the request but it keeps coming back so, out of curiosity, he accepts and the mystery deepens as he digs deeper into his new friend’s account.
He’s led to Cara Bloom (Beane), an online journalist who’s been struggling with writer’s block. Intrigued by Miles’ story, Cara joins him in investigating friend suggestions from “God” and they end up helping others in need — while learning things about themselves.
Miles and Cara are aided by Ali Finer (Leslie), Miles’ supportive sister. She’s a doctoral psych student by day and a bartender by night. Also lending a hand is Rakesh Singh (Sharma), Miles’ best friend and a sometimes hacker who needs some help on the social side of his life.
Miles is convinced that the “God” account is an elaborate hoax and is devoted to uncovering the truth. In the meantime, he’s playing along and, in the process, seeing his life changed forever.
Episode #42 — The Mountain
Miles is forced to examine his lack of faith more than ever before when the God Account sends him his sister, Ali, as a friend suggestion on the eve of her cancer surgery.
First aired: April 26, 2020.
What do you think? Do you like the God Friended Me TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season on CBS?
This was one of my favorite TV shows, It held my interest and, along with the cast, I tried piece bits of information together to arrive at the outcome. The title might indicate that this show was very religious in nature, which it wasn’t. Why it was this show cancelled?
Great show! Hate that it was not renewed.
Great show very much needed during these trying times. I’m not surprised they cancelled it; we can’t have anything positive with good ethnic representation across the board.
bring this show back
I can’t believe you canceled a show that had so much heart and goodness. A great family show. I hate watching a show that get canceled and there is never any closer. Please rethink your this and bring it back.
I Love “God friended me” Please bring it back! Especially during the uncertain times, we need a refreshing show
God Friended Me was GREAT! I LOVED it! Something refreshingly different from all the other crime, violent shows. I HATE when great shows get canceled!!!!
