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?
God Friended Me should not have been cancelled. It was one of the few fairly decent network shows. I wasn’t a fan of Ali being gay and having a girlfriend this season, but beyond that I looked forward to watching it on Sunday evening.
Renew God Friended Me. We really love this show. One of the best in recent years.
My family loves this show! We all hate that this show is being cancelled. Any chance that it can be renewed?
Don’t cancel this excellent show. We need good quality shows on TV.
I love this show! I can not believe it is cancelled! In this world the way it is ,this show was a beacon of light in a increasingly dark world! I am sad beyond belief! The world has gotten a bit darker! Bring it back! Please!
I really enjoy God Friended Me. Can’t imagine my Sunday evenings without it. It is a spirit-lifting show. So sorry to learn that it has been cancelled. Nice to have a show that is not about crime, medicine, disaster. With what we are going through now, it is a needed diversion.
With all the trashy TV shows I can’t believe they are going to cancel one that is positive and uplifting.
Please don’t cancel it has hope in the hopeless time we are in
I really like this show. Just started watching. Very positive and shows there is still kindness in this world and people do still believe.
God Friended Me should not have been canceled it was one of the few shows on tv that was positive and not those reality (fake) shows. Great show to watch with the family, we don’t have enough of those on.
its awful….. one of the best clean, family shows on TV. please don’t!!!!!!!!
Don’t cancel this show. One of the only completely wholesome family friendly show that is appropriate for all ages. LOVE IT. So incredibly sad to see it go.
I so look forward to watching this show, please please do not cancel it. It’s on the top of my list of shows “I must see”. Promoting good to others seem to be the message we all need. Reconsider it’s great and I don’t have to be afraid to let my children watch it.
Really enjoyed this show and really sad that CBS decided to cancel. I wish CBS would reconsider or someone else would pick it up.
Totally disappointed cbs making some bad choices lately. Loved the cast the show was uplifting so sad.
