UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

baezcarolin-84917 Imagine you haven't had anything to eat in the past 10 days and when you finally find something to eat... it's a plate of leaves! That's exactly the feeling I'm left with after watching an episode of this series. I was hungry for knowledge and got served a plate of superficial blabla. How can you cover, for instance, an extensive topic, such as the meaning of death in a certain religion in 4 minutes? or even 10? There's also something about Morgan Freeman's facial expressions and some of his comments during the interviews that doesn't feel right. Bye, Morgan, you've disappointed me this time!

Sena Akyurekli No matter what our faith is or weather you are skeptic, this show takes you to an eye opening journey through Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Budizm and major ancient beliefs (Mayan, Egyption, Aborigine).It observes the prime aspects of all by comparing to one another, reveals the commonalities and differences of those on some certain issues with the participation of a broad range of experts ranging from university professors to doctors to archaeologists and anthropologists.Points out our never-ending effort to define our place in the universe.Pushes you to think how cultures, politics and ancient understanding - or misunderstanding - of astronomy play role on evolving the beliefs and shaping today's understanding of creation, god, death, life...

dcastle-27295 First off I do not review many shows because usually people understand and get the gist from other review, synopsis, and summaries. Unfortunately it appears that people are getting a lot of misconceptions about this show. This is an amazing in depth look at major aspects that we think about today from all religions around the world including some that do not exist anymore, but that have some of it's rituals and teachings still around. This is also a hands on experience with Morgan Freeman as he travels everywhere there is or has been a major or sometimes minor religion that impacts the way we think of these certain issues today. The title of an episode pretty much sums up what they will be going in depth to find out about. I was skeptical before watching this for the first time thinking they were just going to tell the story of the Judaeo- Christian God story and nothing more, but I was so pleasantly surprised when watching this. Every time when talking with a new religion they don't just go off the book in which it is taught by but by some of the highest elders and priests associated with that religion and get the real information of what they believe in the topic being covered. I honestly cannot think of a better way this could have been done and if you watch this with an open mind you will be blown away at how well it is done. I am sure we all know parts some religions and what they believe but do you know what they truly believe about the afterlife, creation, why evil exists, what they think about miracles, and much more? From Christian, Judaism, Islam, Hindu, Buddhism, and many many more we learn what their true beliefs on each topic is from a non-biased investigator and the ones that devote their life to the teachings. If you are interested in true factual understanding from religious and scientific aspects of the biggest topics that plague our minds since people began to think about what is out there then I would highly suggest checking this documentary series out whenever you can.

atifleonard I have been waiting for this show to come on air since i watched its trailer a while back.I watched the first episode and i must say i am not that much convinced.I guess being a Muslim i would have liked for the director to have included what Islam says about life after death because its the 2nd largest religion in the world.Its not good to start a show in the name of God and be biased about it.This review might seem fundamental to some but its about freedom of speech and a matter of fairness.I am rating it 3/10 because of the concept that went behind it.I would have rated it 10/10 if it included shorter but fair views about God and divine concepts from every major religions.
