I really can't stand those types of shows... The ones where everyone just nods and agrees because it's "God!" You know the ones that pander to Christians/Catholics. I'll give it a try if it's not that type of show.
shareIt is not the least bit religious. Think THE APOSTLE with Robert Duvall but even less so

A morally-corrupt judge suffers a breakdown and believes God is compelling him onto a path of vigilante justice.
Well a lot of the mainstream Catholics/Christians don't need another reason. For freaking sake a lot of them think all gays are going to hell because of a quote from Leviticus even though the church no longer even follows Leviticus (try to tell them that though and they pretend like they suddenly can't understand you or try to change the subject). That's the problem I see with most "mainstream" religious people.
They are entirely ignorant of their own religion and the sad part is someone like me, who believes in a final death and nothing more (I think a lot of people can't accept this so they need religion to make their lives have some sort of meaning, or need the belief that this life is just a stepping stone for something better to keep them going), knows way more about their religion than even they do!
Oddly enough, it was really well done. I'm surprised the reviews were so negative in the newspapers and magazines. But maybe that's to be expected with anything gritty that has religion somewhere in the front of it and isn't heavy on sex scenes.
I think you should try it out. You might like it.
I'm an Atheist, so as you can imagine, I was a little put off by the title, and the content, but trust me, even if you don't believe in God, and Jesus, you will really enjoy what this show has to offer, its superb drama, and very well written, stella cast, and performances, what's there not to love about this show?

It's a revenge story. It's not a story about religion nor do they try to convert the viewer, although religion is a key plot point. I'm recommending it to my friends but being upfront that the first 7 episodes are kind of slow. The payoff is in the last 3 episodes.
shareIt's not religious really, I'm agnostic and I liked it. It is never quite clear if there s a divine intervention going on, or if the judge is just crazy, getting info through hallucinations from his subconscious mind.
Also there is no real preaching, it's neutral, sometimes almost openly mocking religion. It has Ron Pearlman it.. I mean it's not more religious than Hellboy.
