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.

What do you think? Do you like the God Friended Me TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for another season on CBS?
Hoping for many seasons of God Friended me!
Positive show! Looking forward to 2020-21 season
Awesome show. When there are so many ridiculous shows on T.V. there is finally a show that lifts you up and gives you hope through our God. Yes keep this show going PLEASE!
Modern life is WAY too complicated, which leaves little time to actively think about hope and miracles. For me this show is the latest (after Highway to Heaven, Joan of Arcadia, Eli Stone, Touched by an Angel, Ghost Whisperer, etc.) that often spotlights hope and miracles. Keep it going.
