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 was a feel good show, We saw every episode! It showed strong family ties
no matter what the family members believes! The networks need more of this type of show for entertainment, something the whole family can watch! Way to much shooting, blood and gore on TV now!
I love it was best show on sundays
It is a real shame that this show has been cancelled. My husband and I will miss it
We are really going to miss this heartwarming show; God Friended Me should not be canceled. The storyline was sentimental and sweet. We enjoyed the uplifting theme and the characters were extremely well cast. Bring on Season 3!
God Friended Me was one of the best family TV shows on. It is so sad that it was canceled. We need more shows like God Friended Me. It is a terrible decision.
Long time watcher first time caller. This would qualify as my guilty pleasure and I will miss it. It is one of the few network shows I look forward to each week. That is saying a lot as a 69 year old Black man who has never used Facebook and does not attend church on a regular basis. This show has a great extended family and it’s a show where no one pulls out a gun to point at another human being. So long kids hope you get picked by another broadcaster.
It was the most uplifting show in a long time. I don’t think CBS gave it a chance. I am so disappointed. When the show first came on I thought it is about time a good show about God was on tv again. How sad.
I think god friended me should be renewed. It’s a wonderful series, better than a lot of other series. Please renew
This was my favorite show on Tv , I hope another network picks it up and it continues for many more seasons.
I can’t believe they cancelled GOD FRIENDED ME” YOU TAKE A DECENT FAMILY SHOW WITHOUT MURDER, MAYHEM CURSING AND INAPPROPRIATE SEXUAL BEHAVIOR AND CBS CANCELS THE SHOW. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Come on Netflix, hulu or vudu make CBS regret their decision.
I loved that show. Was surprised to see it cancelled .. God Friended Me was a must watch for me every Sunday evening
Should have been renewed CBS needs an uplifting family show was given poor time slot especially during football season maybe a better network will pick it up
I am truly devastated and heartbroken that this non-violent, warm, wonderful, uplifting and just all around feel good series, will not be renewed!!!! God Friended Me is one of the BEST shows on television! Why are the best family oriented shows always canceled? Don’t viewers get a say? We need this, please please bring it back!!!!! Not sure I will get over this decision, still sooo very very sad!
I totally agree 100%.
When you have an awesome show, why is it that you always cancel it? God Friended Me was an uplifting show that could be enjoyed by everyone in the family. I have seen several excellent shows come and go and shows that should be put in the trash are left on for years. Whoever made the choice to remove this show, DOES NOT know what the general public wants. God Friended Me should have been a show that ran for numerous years. During this time of the covid-19 Coronavirus Pandemic your executive branch should have had more soul in their… Read more »

Please bring it back!!!!!
