I have friends who think this isn’t Biblically accurate enough and aren’t watching. I think it’s well-done, presenting consequences of sin, the depravity of man, the blessings of faith, and the fulfillment of prophecy resulting in the coming of the Savior.

Too much of cinematic license. For example, there is no angel Gabriel announcing to Mary her virgin pregnancy, and Joseph is told of Mary’s pregnancy not in a dream, but by ordinary man. For those untutored in Luke’s Gospel account of the birth of Christ, this is quite a disservice. The three Kings makes for sophomoric acting.

One inaccuracy that troubled me was showing Jeremiah “escaping” the destruction of Jerusalem. He was in prison when the Babylonians invaded, and had to be released by Nebuzaradan, the Babylonian general, who gave him money and food and let him go afterwards.

Same here. I’m enjoying it quite a bit and so is my wife.
