A.D.: The Bible Continues (TV Series)

"Yes, the additions sometimes feel shoehorned in, and, as in 'The Bible', the storytelling gears still sometimes clunk. But anyone who loved 'The Bible' and yearned for a sequel is likely to find 'A.D.' satisfying. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)" 

"'A.D.' manages to deliver some effective scenes (...) The producers can’t rein in their tendency toward excessive effects and overwrought dialogue, but they seem at least to be proceeding at a more patient pace." 

"There isn't necessarily anything new to see here. The first two episodes available for review hit upon all the familiar iconic moments." 

"Handsomely mounted and soaringly scored by Hans Zimmer and Lorne Balfe, what 'A.D.' lacks is anything that would distinguish it from earlier screen depictions of this tale."
