God Friended Me - Sept. 30, From Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt’s shared resume as writer-producers — “Gotham,” “Hawaii Five-0,” “CSI: NY” — you wouldn’t expect them to create a feel-good fantasy-mystery about an atheist podcaster who starts getting friend requests from God. (Does God check in from heaven? So many questions.) But here it is, starring Brandon Micheal Hall of “The Mayor” and blessed with Joe Morton as the unbeliever’s pastor father.

This is a much better show than it deserves to be for such a terrible concept. I still think it has a limited lifepan, but i like the cast and the show hits the emotional notes very well. They just need to drop the main charcacter's freind's relationship storyline. Everytime they focus on that it's just cringe city.
