While the series was generally a "good thing" and I applaud her and husband for producing it, a couple of notes:

- When Roma Downey decided to eliminate the homosexuality of Sodom and Gomorrah, that was wrong.

- When Roma Downey played Mary in the series, it was utterly cringe worthy.

She had the camera cut to her time, time, and time again during this portion of the series, showing us her weeping and sorrowful Mary character. Her portrayal of Mary eclipsed (at times) that of the actor playing Jesus, and she got almost as much screen time during one portion of that episode.

I am sorry, but the story of Jesus was and is more important than the suffering Mary. There is no other story or hero greater than Christ. You could almost feel her need to be noticed come through your flat TV screen.
