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?
So sadden that God Friended was canceled. I hope another station picks it up.
God Friended me is an unusually deep, interesting and excellently acted tv series–far exceeding the rest of the CBS junk renewed for next year. The CBS raters must be talent-deaf to have misjudged such an uplifting yet modern (read “not corny”) series among all the rest of the fluff stuff rolled out on the average US viewer today. O well .it’s back to Canadian/ British/Austrialian tv again for next year for me…that’s all that is keeping my “smart”tv from ending up on the recycling pile.
So sad to see this has been canceled. One of the very few shows that I liked and watched every week. We need more shows like this.
Sorry to see this cancelled. Please reconsider. One of my favorite shows.
I was very disappointed to find that this series was being cancelled.
I wish this show was NOT BEING CANCELLED!!! WE NEED FAITH, INSPIRATION& HOPE AT THIS TIME
Can’t believe God friended me was cancelled. Such a good show. There are very few uplifting, heart warming programs on television and the world needs a program like this. Brings faith and kindness which we all need right now. I love the concept and the actors who were choosen to play the characters are outstanding. Please renew God friended me.
This was one of the most refreshing and uplifting shows we’ve seen on tv in years. It should never have been cancelled!!! Please, please bring it back!
Don’t let another good one slip pass please reconsider your decision.
I agree.
One of the best TV shows on these days…very sad it was canceled…it should go on for years…I love its faith based and all the twists and turns.
It was a great show!! Loved it and the story line. Only have a handful of shows I watch. You especially can’t end it the way you did. We need an answer to who was behind the God Account! A Buddhist child on a mountain top is not good enough. Would they even have internet there????
I can’t say enough good things about this show, I looked forward to it every week. It is a positive show that we need right now with all that is going on in the world. I feel the ratings went down because they did not have the show on a steady time line. Sometimes they put another show on instead of continuing God Friended Me on a regular basis so that must be one of the reasons the ratings went down the 2nd year. Not many shows are as clean as this one with no profanity or violence. Even kids… Read more »
I agree with all of your comments.

I love this show,I hope it continues.It’s one of the very few shows I look forward to
