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?
I like the show. Do Not Cancel it.
Really enjoy this show. Enjoyed Brandon in the Mayor show, he has matured and is more handsome! This show somewhat reminds me of Touched by an Angel.
Love this show — the actors, the story lines and how it all connects into something bigger is exciting and it has such a hopeful message about how to live in the present and be accountable to our friends and helpful to new friends entering our lives AND looking opportunity in the face and doing something positive with it. I’m an actor and I’ve worked in regional theatre and on Bwy. and this ensemble of actors are fantastic. More than any other show I want God Friended Me to stick around with this amazing ensemble.
Please renew this show. This is a good show and I enjoy watching it.
I really enjoy this show, it is one of the few shows I look forward to watching every week, I wanted more after episode 20, I normally do not care, but I am excited and anxious for the next episode! Keep it going!!
Absolutely love this show. It’s so refreshing to watch something uplifting, where people aren’t shooting each other, blowing something up, and are actually trying to bring good into the world. The story line is excellent, the actors/actresses are top notch. We need more shows like this one. Please consider keeping this one.
We need more shows like this. RENEW IT PLEASE!!!
God Friended Me is one of the best written, thought out, and inspiring dramas I’ve watched in a long time. If you watch it with an open mind and open heart, wouldn’t it be amazing to see something like this actually happening in a world of despair. I’m literally on the edge of my seat every episode to see what good will come with the twists and turns of the plot. I hope it doesn’t end any time soon! I’ve actually busted a tear bag or two over the outcomes, and I don’t do that much at all! The cast… Read more »

I love this show! It is so positive and uplifting! Good acting too!
This is a great series and look forward to God friended me to come back!!!
I love love this show
I hope it does not get cancelled
A refreshing hour of good acting, great stories and no gun violence. I am so tired of all these shoes with with automatic weapons killing people.
God Friended Me is a great family oriented show.
My friends all love it too
This has been my favorite series this year. It reminds me of Touched By An Angel from the past. Always uplifting and often brought me to tears. The final episode wrapped things up so beautifully so my worst fears were just confirmed. It has been cancelled! Please reconsider. I know it was not realistic to think these things happen like this but it was beautiful to see a show that deals with faith at all these days!!!!!! And to have God working through others to help people is actually the way He often works. People need to see this.
Love this show. My wife and I have seen it every week. In the world of TV it’s refreshing to see a new kind of series. One where sex and violence aren’t used to attract viewer’s and actually having God and helping people be the focus of the show. Please renew this series
