Just let me get something off my chest, I used to work in history and the thing that irritates me the most when I read reviews on things like this are the people yelling "Not Historically accurate!!!!!"Yeah, you're right, it's not historically accurate...it's made to entertain. 300 wasn't historically accurate and if it were, it would have been a completely different movie.No, there are some things I take issue with, if you make Othello White, for instance, that I can't stand...or the BBC's Black Achilles. Those are taking a bit too many liberties for me. Achilles isn't exactly Nick Fury, if you make him Black it kind of stops him from being an ancient Greek.That being said, The Bible Continues does kind of do that, but not at all to an extreme. There are a few instances when you are like, really, he's supposed to be an Ancient Greek?...nope, doesn't look the part. But that's few and far between and you get the sense that the decisions were made for pro talent and not to pull a Last Jedi.Moving on....The Bible I absolutely LOVED because of how it was segmented...just long enough to draw you in and short enough not to get dull. it was perfect.This is not done the same way. So you don't have the Earnest Hemingway fear of being boring feel to it and instead you get segments that drag and, in some cases, drag long enough to both feel preachy and get very, very dull.True it is telling a different story, and it is also true that the talent is still there and in spades...but the execution this time around is lacking. The first take the segments hit you fast and kept you entertained...and this one seems drawn out.The best comparisons is "North and South" where you are watching it, you recognize that it is still good...but that doesn't stop you from getting bored with long parts of it.If you want to sit through it...it isn't bad. But if you want to watch something about Jesus, you have both "The Last Temptation of Christ" and "Jesus Christ Superstar" that both deal with the subject matter in a way that doesn't seem to drag.Watch it if it's on, you won't be disappointed, but don't go out of your way to catch it, it's not worth that amount of effort.

Flows very smoothly, has a great cast, the cinematography is awesome - they built a whole city for this series. I rented all of the episodes on Vudu. The actor who plays Jesus does it so sweetly. I really like it.

I am a Catholic and have hard time reading bible. This series showed a real meaning of who I am.

I watched all 12 episodes of this mini-series and will give my review in good things/bad things format. I know that some people were put off by the fact that the cast was deliberately chosen to show diversity. That didn't bother me. I think that 'diversity' was the least of problems with this mini-series. The good: The sets were wonderful, the costuming was wonderful, the actors were good. The bad: At best, the events that were featured in this mini-series were only very **loosely** based on the Book of Acts. The only part of the stoning of Stephen, the first Christian martyr that was accurately portrayed was the actual stoning. Stephen did not go into the Temple to confront the High Priest and Sanhedrin. There was a plot against Stephen and he was dragged before the Sanhedrin and falsely accused of blasphemy. To make matters worse, Stephen's speech in defense of the false charges is left out completely. Many other events are inaccurate: - The story of Simon the magician, - The whole story of the Ethiopian treasurer colluding with the Zealots to overthrow Rome? Where did that come from? - One of the Apostles colludes with the Zealots as well. Really? Where can I find that story in the Book of Acts? - Paul being lied to by the other Apostles and being 'sent away' so he wouldn't cause trouble for them with the Jews. - The story of the resurrection of Tabitha. - The 'conversion' of Cornelius the Centurion. The Book of Acts describes Cornelius thusly: "At Casesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was know as the Italian Regiment. He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly." The centurion "Cornelius" in AD, The Bible Continues, is nothing like this. He is a soldier who follows orders and thinks nothing of executing anyone at Pilate's whim. AD, The Bible Continues goes off the rails early on and becomes more of a fictionalized story of Pilate and his wife Claudia than a story of the early Christians. It is entertaining and nice to look at, but sadly lacking in Biblical truth.
