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.

Love love love this show!!!
I love this show my whole office watches it as well as my Bible study group. Please keep this wonderful show on the air.
This show isn’t so cute! I love it! Please renew it for as long as possible.
I’m totally enjoying this series and hope that there will be a second series.
I REALLY hope it is renewed.
It is wonderful. a definite feelgood show all.
Production is great. Actors are endearing.
Religious or not , the plots are engaging, lightly heart warming & just plain enjoyable to watch.
Refreshing to have a show that doesn’t have to have nudity, swearing or wild action & special effects to get my interest.
Keep it coming, PLEASE.
We look forward to watching this show!! Like all shows we watch, we record and watch it when we get home.
It is a feel good show and we do not want it to stop!!
Please keep it coming!
Naturally I like this show . . . actually I love it. Moreover, I admire it. It demonstrates behavior that we all should emulate. It has a little “reality blemish,” The primary protagonist hardly works . . . how can that work. I would like to “help people,” but I have to pay the rent, fix meals, housekeeping, etc. So a “reality check” would be honest. On the other hand . . . this is a “show!” It’s art. So I squint my eyes. I have a little trouble with the “computer hacking.” Uhhh, that’s illegal. Again, I let it… Read more »
This is one of the best series on network TV. I find myself looking forward to watching it every Sunday night. The acting is really good and the show leaves you with a warm feeling. Please renew it for another season.
Yes! We agree. Looking forward to another season.
I look forward to this show every week.I was not prepared to like it as much as I do. Wonderfully uplifting in a troubled world
This is the very best show that’s been on TV in years. Please, please renew it. . .
This show always makes me smile, and I have watched all episodes. The diverse cast is a comfortable, logical fit, and feels natural, rather than looking like a PC attempt. If you continue to broadcast, I shall continue to watch.
I love this show. It is uplifting, funny, inclusive, entertaining, thought provoking. Please keep showing this.
I LOVE this show. It is upbeat, entertaining, creative and generally something pleasant to watch on Sunday evening–especially in the midst of all the negative political “goingson”.
Actually, it IS possible, if you BELIEVE, for God to make all of those connections. After all, when you believe in Him, there are NO coincidences! HE has it all planned.
I LOVE this show. Please renew it. It’s one of those shows that I feel better and happy every time I watch.
Good Lord….excellent heartwarming show. Please give it a chance! Look forward to it every week!
