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 love “God Friended Me”. I look forward to watching it every Sunday.
When is God Friended Me coming back?
I look forward to watching God friended me. I think it was the best thing CBS could’ve did. The messages are great and I love how it’s centered around God being someone that exist but you can’t see Him. Thank You CBS

WE LOVE THIS SHOW
Please keep the show on the air. it is a breath of fresh air. we need more shows that are truly inspiring.
Yes, we really enjoy watching God Friended me!!!!
It is uplifting and great story lines with a touch of mystery ❤❤
Please keep God Friended Me on! It is a positive show amid the onslaught of Suspense, killing, murder, and various other shows. Of course, it’s main character, IS God, and most think little about God if they don’t have to. Please do at least one more season!
I agree. Quite a refreshing change plus what an interesting concept! Clean & positive. Addresses real issues.
I love this show. I do wish they’d get an advisor for the church part. As an Episcopalian, the goofs make me cringe. Medical shows have advisors from the medical field. I bet they could get a friendly priest to look over scripts for little or no pay! But that being said, it’s a great show. Many levels.
