Since it was produced by History Channel the show had some realistic approach combining stories with historic events and wars that happened at the same time. Warrior angels was a cool image but to be honest the Old Testament was rushed through and a lot of personal motivations, emotions and important stories were removed making it hard to connect with any character. Even the prolonged look at the life and miracles of Jesus has a lot of things lost (especially about John the Baptist - where is the story about Salome?). It starts epic enough to begin with, but when a series need an narrator every minute to explain stuff on the screen than it becomes tiresome and this felt like a "best of" adaptation instead of something definitive. Maybe they should have thought about giving this miniseries a longer run of two seasons (one focusing on the old testament the other on the new?). Non-existing acting that consist of people posing also doesn't help. Unnecessary detailed in violent imagery while erotic imagery depicted in The Bible is left completely out.
