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.
