I will add this to the comments you have already received. A problem I had with it is that it is very low budget. This sometimes took me out of the show. The Romans wear chrome-plated armor that looks like it was just manufactured. It isn't properly aged and antiqued because it is probably on loan from a re-enactor who wanted it back pristine. There is a scene in which Jesus is supposed to be speaking to "a crowd". He asks Simon if he can speak from his boat to better address the crowd. I don't remember how many people there were, but I seem to remember it being about 9 or 10 people at the most. He was standing right with them and could easily have addressed them without going into the boat.
Later in the same scene is a famous moment in which Jesus has Simon cast his net again and, due to a miracle from Jesus, Simon and the other fishermen pull the net back in laden with fish (this scene is done much better in Jesus of Nazareth). However, the boat has scarcely left the beach. They are not in water deep enough for fish to swim or for Simon to have cast his net. Maybe they thought no one would notice? I get that they are hampered by the budget (the series is produced with money raised from crowdfunding), but scenes like that call too much attention to the low budget.
My wife and I watched 5 or 6 episodes before stalling out on it. It seems they drag out a plot (like Simon not being able to pay his taxes) for more episodes than needed, and Simon and his wife seem to have the same argument over and over. We'll probably resume it at some time. I read that for the second season they were allowed to film on an existing biblical village set that the Mormons use; so maybe the production values are better going forward.
Thank you for your reply. I have seen enough low-budget Christian films. Not certain that I want the hubby to sit through another poor recommendation just to please me.
