The interesting point is the producers are married. The wife is the actress Roma Downey who is Roman Catholic. She and her husband wanted to stay close to the text. The husband is the producer for Survivor Mark Burnett. Burnett is described as a Christian and I could not verify a denomination. More info here:

I thought the miniseries was good. Unless you get one of those verse by verse movies, you will always deal with truncation and added drama or events out of chronological order. No different in The Bible series and am sure Son of God will no doubt have its cuts.
If folks are looking for the verse by verse type of Gospel movie then here is a good one:
