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?
Are they seriously replacing God Friended Me with some drivel from Alec Baldwin???
Yes. Renew it
Yes. Renew it. We need a feel good show that teaches people how to treat one another.
It’s nice and refreshing to see a show where the Millennials are getting in touch with God. I like watching a show that is clean uplifting and the whole family can watch it together. There aren’t too many shows left like this on TV today.
Message is good, and the world needs good!
I will be surprised if this makes it…it seems in this day & age anything that is focused on God is not popular. Kevin probably saved the world was my favorite show last season. This wasnt as good, but I still liked it.
Thank You for sharing this show God Friended Me…it made our family smile and put a positive spin on our conversation. I loved the show, it was refreshing to see a show that I can let me grandchildren n great grandchildren watch. It made our family think outside the box to make us all feel warm n fuzzy inside with a positive outlook..Thanks
The show is god-awful. I would be surprised if it lasts the season. The comedy is hacky, the characters are stereotypes, and the writers know nothing about either atheists or podcasting.
Love this show!
I liked the show. It was nice to see something fresh and something that you can sit down and watch with your family.
I liked the show. Please do not cancel the show. It is good to see a positive show on television.
I agree Eva it was a very positive show that made my family all feel happy n positive after the show.
I agree Laurie its nice to have a show on TV for all the family to watch even young children…
