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?
Great heart warming show. Pleases bring it back!
This was amazing show. not sure why they would cancel such a diverse show. I don’t know if it’s cancellation was because it was focused on a Prominent black family or the controversy of God, Atheism ,homosexuality, or a mixed relationship.Or all of the above. The show was a clean it will be missed.
Finally a good show and your canceling it????
GOD BEFRIENDED ME IS THE MOST UPLIFTING AND SPECIAL.
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL.
I HAVE WATCHED AND RECORDED EVERY EPISODE.
Great show. Very sad it’s not being renewed. Seems like these days if it’s not violent or full of sexual innuendo it gets cancelled. What’s wrong with good wholesome family entertainment? Please consider bringing God Friended Me back.
