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?
Please renew a great show that gives hope in this time especially!!
I have faith that CBS will renew God Friended Me. You can leave a lot of people hanging after see Miles up on the mountain. Keep the FAITH.
God Friended me should be renewed for season 3 awesome show!! Never miss it
I am sorry that this show was cancelled It was one of the few really good shows on tv now. All of the others are police or doctor or lawyer shows Cancelling this show doesn’t leave very many shows that show faith in god and mankind just evil and steamy sex scenes for our children.
It should be renewed. Great show.
Renewed for season 3 great show!
I cannot believe CBS cancelled this show. This was the best feelgood show on TV. The actors were wonderful and the storyline always made us smile. CBS you should be ashamed.
Best show on tv! Please don’t cancel!!
I am bummed that it was cancelled. It was an uplifting show and I thought it had interesting aspects to include tech, God and atheism.
Not happy that it’s not being renewed. Being mostly atheist myself, it gave me good feelings watching the show and hopefullness for man-kind.
Should have been renewed. Don’t know where you got you numbers for ages 18 To 49 years old. I am 76 and have watched every episode what a shame to cancel and probably will put another asinine reality show on. I looked forward to this show every Sunday night Boooo
Best show ever. Never missed an episode. We are really disappointed that it is not going to be a season 3
