This rival looks AMAZING! Taking such a traditional show that is even set in biblical times, and bringing it into the modern day is such an interesting concept. As a potential audience member I am intrigued, and want to see how this plays out. By also setting this classic story in this time period people are able to connect to it in ways that they are not normally able to when it is the same story that you hear over 100 times in religious school. Now that the show is closing I'm just pissed that I didn't get a chance to see it.
