The Story of God with Morgan Freeman

Morgan Freeman's series is a wonderful attempt to capture religion in an entertaining way. The topic is very complex, and yet Freeman manages to reach the viewer with his storytelling. Each episode has a focus, with everything following an overall concept. I have rarely had such an accessible intellectual conversation.

Not as preach. not as system. only as source of answers. as support for questions. as axis of diversity who becomes, episode by episode, the basic piece defining us. for many reasons, Morgan Freeman is the best guest of this expedition around the cultures, civilizations, religions, personal stories, adventures and questions. because the purpoise is not to demonstrate or to justify. only , to show. the essence of humanity. the links between people. the way to translate presence of God in every day life. so, a serie. a real usefull one. for discover the world. for define tolerance. and for see God near you. from special perspective.

The show covers a great deal of topics and different religions and belief systems, but it is quite repetitive. The overall message is very positive and the overall tone is unbiased, but many of the shows repeat the same exact themes and knowledge.

I usually don't write stuff on IMDb but i felt like this series is going a little unnoticed so here goes:

I just finished the first episode and it was amazing! First i should tell that I'm a Muslim and i've been looking for something like this in a really long time. A documentary about religions and different aspects of them, without taking any side on what's right or wrong, just informing people about what's going on with people of other nations.

Once again Morgan Freeman plays the role of the narrator astonishingly. We see him travel around the world and become familiar with different beliefs and cultures. It doesn't matter if you're a Muslim, Jew, Hindu, Christian or even a non-believer, this series takes you on an epic journey to see other cultures and history of the world. Definitely a must see and a masterpiece.

As not a very adherent strict-practicing Hindu, my interest was to know the fundamental evolution of the concept of God along with the evolution of humanity. The series brilliantly takes into considerations the various belief system followed by various religions on the planet. It was very interesting to see the inclusion of the beliefs of natives in various episodes. The series questions various fundamental questions an educated mind can think about. Obviously the series are not for the shut minded believers and may be offensive to them at one or other point, but for a cosmopolitan human being the series really throw light on the very existence of various Human faiths. Kudos for all associated with the series.
