God Friended Me (2018–2020)
7/10
Person of Interest with a spiritual twist
9 March 2021
When I first started it would be something new and a new perspective about spirituality but all I see is the Bible/Bhagavat Gita/Quran/Torah or whatever religious text, the words "help other people" fed to the audience with the style of "Person of Interest". The Person of Interest had a higher risk factor so that it becomes mandatory to help and the design of the software was to help them in such a way. The God account in the God Befriended Me suggests the protagonist to help with simple deeds. If this becomes normal, people would loose free will. I don't know whether the script writers have taken this into consideration. The greatest gift given to humans by God is Freewill. Restricting Freewill brings a bad twist to the story. The God Account could dictate the daily lives of everyone.

This is still a decent story and the romance is simple and very predictable. The mystery is decent.
