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?
Great show!! This show is uplifting and the writers need commended for their story lines. It’s a positive experience and it leaves everyone in my home smiling when it’s over!
this show has MILES to go …
Love this show!!!!
I’m happy to finally have an intelligently produced show that’s motivational and entertaining to the entire family. I hope that it remains in the air
This is probably the best feel good show that I have watched in 20 years. Truly shows situations through the eyes of believers and non spiritual characters but in the end finding happiness is how the show ends. Very impressed!
I love this show so much. It’s what we need right now. Please do not cancel it. Please!
I hope to see this series for many seasons to come. Very uplifting, good story lines. and nice cast.
I love God friended me please do not cancel!
Please do not cancel this show! It is one of my favorites in something really in this day and age
Me too! About time they came up with a show that gives a different perspective on life. I am sick to death of all of the cursing, fighting and violence. I look forward to this show weekly.
I LOVE THIS SHOW! Pleas DO NOT cancel it. We need shows like this these days.
Love it. Unique in that it shows people uniting in helping people. Winning or beating is not the object. Multi cultural characters are just people, not stereotyped or so different from each other. Keep it going. My family loves it.
This show should be renewed. It is a favorite of my wife and me. The premise of the show is unique and there is great chemistry among the cast. This show makes Sunday evening viewing enjoyable.
I love the show. Please don’t cancel.
I love this show!! I hope CBS is not thinking of cancelling this show. It’s one of the few shows on TV that has a positive message while looking at both sides of the coin and I believe that positivity is much needed in our society today!
This show is awesome and very neccessary considering the climate of today.
