I realize that only 3 episodes have aired, but so far I am very disappointed in the series. I LOVED The Bible series and watched it twice. This one seems like it was made by different producers for different reasons. So far way too much time is spent on the lives of Caiaphas,Pilate and Herod and their wives. I want to see more of the apostles and how they move from Jerusalem to spread Jesus' message. I also have a HUGE problem with the casting. I know it would probably have been impossible to cast all original characters but they should have spent the $ to do just that. It is very confusing to those of us who grew to love the character of Jesus, his mother, and each of his disciples. I heard Burnett and Roma Downey speak about this on a talk show and they said they deliberately racially diversified the cast in response to criticism of The Bible series. I think they should have cast with historical accuracy instead of pressure from whoever thought Mary Magdalene or John or others should reflect the racial mix in the U.S.or Great Britain in 2015. I will continue to watch and with hope that this series will improve, but I already know it can't be the series it should be because it was made for network television and has some values that were forced by that reason.
