Outside of Austin, Texas, black sheep Kevin Finn (Jason Ritter) is crashing with his scientist widower twin sister Amy Cabrera (JoAnna Garcia Swisher). She is called in by the military when 36 meteors strike around the world. One lands near the Amy's house. Kevin and his niece Reese go out to investigate. Kevin touches it and is changed. A messenger of God (Kimberly Hebert Gregory) tells him that he's the last of the righteous destined to save the world. The other 35 had mysteriously disappeared. His former crush Kristin Allen (India de Beaufort) is presently Reese's teacher. Deputy Nathan Purcell (J. August Richards) has a lifelong crush on Amy.
The start is a little rocky with a muddled premise and an annoying Kevin. It does straighten itself out. There are some solid relationship chemistry with terrific TV actors. Ritter's inherit good nature charm quickly rises to the top. Kimberly is great. There are some good lessons which are the episodes that I like the most. I really like Kevin's connection with the niece. They could have done more godly capers together. With Amy coming around in that last episode, the show was set to have some good adventures. This has the potential to be a great feel-good network fare with a little bit of a bite and some religious flavors. With a more solid start, this would have garnered better critical response and maybe maximized its potential.
