Internet highway to heaven: Atheist finds divine online in ‘God Friended Me’
By Kyla Brewer TV MediaI n many areas, church attendance has been on the decline as people continue to question the existence and nature of God. A new television series has the potential to spark thoughtful conversations about spirituality and religion, for believers and non-believers alike.
Brandon Micheal Hall (“The Mayor”) stars as Miles Finer, an atheist whose life is turned upside down when he accepts a social media friend request from someone claiming to be God in “God Friended Me,” airing Sunday, Oct. 21, on CBS. Through a series of friend suggestions, “God” has led Miles to Cara Bloom (Violett Beane, “The Flash”), a struggling young journalist who becomes an unlikely sidekick as he inadvertently helps those in need.
While the premise may require a leap of faith, TV industry pundits seem to have an open mind about the series, which has been featured in such high-profile publications as Vanity Fair and Variety. In a September vanityfair.com article, creator Bryan Wynbrandt (“Gotham”) explained the purpose of the show.
“The hope of the show is to focus on the positive when there is so much negative,” Wynbrandt said. Before accepting the friend request, Miles had been promoting his atheist views on his podcast, which put him at odds with his father, Rev. Arthur Finer (Joe Morton, “Scandal”). A prominent preacher at Harlem’s Trinity Church, Arthur is, not surprisingly, hurt by his son’s lack of faith. Miles’ sister, Ali (Javicia Leslie, “Killer Coach,” 2016), works as a bartender by day and studies psychology at night, often offering up advice to her brother and Cara as they try to solve the mystery behind the God account. They also enlist the help of Miles’ best friend, Rakesh (Suraj Sharma, “Life of Pi,” 2012), a hacker who tries to find information about the account.
In an effort to promote the show and get people talking about it, CBS served up an early release of the pilot episode, which the network made available on a variety of platforms — including CBS. com, CBS All Access, the CBS app, Facebook Premieres and Twitter — as of Friday, Aug. 31. CBS executive George Schweitzer had high praise for the unique series when the early release was announced.
“This is a show that deserves advance exposure,” Schweitzer said. “Once people see ‘God Friended Me,’ they respond to its positive and life-affirming values.”
In the vein of such iconic television series as “Touched by an Angel” and “Highway to Heaven,” the show aspires to inspire viewers as Miles helps those in need, whom he finds via “God’s” friend suggestions. Whether he’s saving a doctor from stepping in front of a train or helping Cara reconnect with her long-lost mother (Rachel Bay Jones, “Dear Evan Hansen”), Miles can’t help but wonder if the God account is really a hoax or something more. As it turns out, Miles discovers he has an unexpected connection to Cara: her mother was a nurse to his mother, who died of breast cancer when he was still a child. His experiences with the God account soon prompt him to question his long-held stance on spirituality and religion.
The role is an interesting choice for Hall, whose mother is a preacher. He’s claimed on more than one occasion that he practically grew up in a church, but he hasn’t shied away from tackling the role of atheist Miles. The actor studied drama at New York’s prestigious

His new co-stars include an Emmy winner, a Tony winner and some talented up-and-comers. TV viewers may remember Beane for her role as Jesse Chamber Wells/ Jesse Quick in the popular CW superhero series “The Flash.” Horror film fans may recognize her from the blockbuster slasher “Truth or Dare” (2018), in which she played Markie Cameron. Her other credits include the TV shows “The Resident” and “The Leftovers.”
Indian actor Sharma shot to fame in the film adaptation of “Life of Pi” (2012), based on the popular novel. He also appeared in the fourth season of Showtime’s political thriller, “Homeland.” Morton won an Emmy in 2014 for his guest-starring turn as Olivia Pope’s (Kerry Washington, “Django Unchained,” 2012) father, Eli, in ABC’s “Scandal.” He’s also well known for his portrayal of Henry Deacon in the Syfy series “Eureka.”
“God Friended Me” is the first major series role for Leslie, but she’s also appeared in “MacGyver” and “Chef Julian.” Though she may not be instantly recognizable to TV fans, recurring cast member Jones is a revered stage actress, having appeared in many Broadway productions, from “Pippin” to “Dear Evan Hansen.”
Each episode of “God Friended Me” brings the characters closer as they search for the ultimate truth. The drama may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it joins a recent smattering of TV dramas that explore spiritual or religious themes, including NBC’s “The Good Place” and CBS’s “Living Biblically.”

Culinary school: Ina Garten teaches how to cook like the pros
By Andrew Warren TV MediaIt doesn’t take training at the finest culinary schools in the land or training under a Michelinstarred chef to be able to cook like one of the pros. Ina Garten is living proof that anyone with drive, a love of good food and a willingness to learn can whip up restaurant-quality dishes right at home, and in the third season of “Barefoot Contessa: Cook Like a Pro,” premiering Sunday, Oct. 21, on Food Network, she’s continuing to share all of the tricks, tips and techniques that she’s developed over years of becoming a self-taught chef.
A spinoff of her long-running series “Barefoot Contessa,” Garten’s “Cook Like a Pro” is pretty
much exactly what its title advertises. In each episode, the host shares her wealth of culinary knowledge, with recipes that are designed to help viewers following along cook with confidence, whether they’re total amateurs or more experienced home cooks.
In this week’s premiere, Garten mixes things up by combining humble dishes with fancy ingredients. She whips up a not-so-fancy potato and celery root puree, but she takes it over the top and transforms the dish into something that wouldn’t be out of place in a high-end restaurant by mixing in decadent truffle butter and serving it with perfectly seared scallops.
This season will also feature a special prime-time Thanksgiving episode in a few weeks, on Satur-
day, Nov. 17, with celebrity food writer Nigella Lawson and actress Jennifer Garner (“Love, Simon,” 2018) stopping by Garten’s East Hampton home to help make side dishes for the holiday.
“Why is it worth learning to cook the ways pros do? Because when you can really cook with confidence, you will find cooking and entertaining so much less stressful,” Garten said in a state-
