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.

I liked this show god friended me. Please bring it back next season.
Love God Friended Me. It’s refreshing among so much drama.
Absolutely love this show ! Please renew ! It’s about time we had a show with a moral to it.
Absolutely love this show. How refreshing to watch something that has a good story line and reaches across every aisle. I actually look forward to watching something on television for once.
Brilliantly written! We look forward to the twists in each show!
This is a GREAT show!!!!!! Enjoyed it so much. Hope it is renewed for a new season.
I really enjoyed the show and it has been a long time since there was a heartwarming show on Sundays.
Tom Fisher- I am enjoying this show. Please give the show a chance. Everytime a show with religion as a subject, seems to fade away. Im not the type to do this, but I think you need to give this show a chance
I enjoyed every heartwarming episode of God Friended Me. Haven’t enjoyed a program like this in over 30 years. Please continue the season indefinately.
Great to see a feel good show on television. The characters are genuine. Love the music and the venue. Hope to see it return.
I hope this series is renewed. It is such a nice change from the turmoil around us. The concept of helping people needs to be encouraged!
There isn’t very many “FEEL GOOD” shows on anymore. This one definitely needs to come back for many, many, many more seasons. PLEASE!!!!!
God Friended Me is such a great and inspiring show. DEFINITELY KEEP IT!!!
Love the show!!
Please renew this show!! My whole family loves it. Nothing like it on TV. Great, creative stories.
