by Tanner Kinney Disclaimer: This review contains spoilers for this episode of God Friended Me. Have you ever seen a Pure Flix film? The films are cheap, contain varying qualities of acting, and have a message that, no matter how you view it, is definitely hamfisted. As in like a full holiday ham is delivering the message about God to the silver screen. Some of these films have managed to blend in with real films and get shown in actual cinemas, and they even have a streaming service for those who are interested in having their films on-demand. None of those films are particularly good, though some are entertaining in ways the directors likely never intended. Having seen more than my fair share of these films, I have to say the only one worth watching is Faith of Our Fathers, because it was so unintentionally hilarious that it was oddly compelling. In a way, God Friended Me captures that kind of essence, creating a show that can in no objective way be considered “good,” but still manages to deliver something compelling to watch.
“Pilot” sets a clear-cut course, but the ride is turbulent
