	Author	Review
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"The show has itself a whole grab bag of millennial clichés that never add up to anything especially believable (...) Some of the best moments happen when the show leans fully into its own cheesiness"	NEU
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"The construction of the pilot is simply an ungodly mess (...) A decidedly artless mixture of false climaxes and plot-stopping emotional beats delivered with thudding obviousness"	NEG
United States	Kelly Lawler USA Today	"A sweet, surprisingly watchable series (...) Hall makes Miles snarky but not mean, cynical but not hopeless. It's a tricky balance to maintain (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Steve Greene IndieWire	"For now [first episode] the result is an overstuffed hodgepodge of exaggerated emotions and familiar swings at family drama."	NEG
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"Like most programs that brave tackling religion, 'God Friended Me' handles those questions in a light but respectful manner, clearly aware of the material's thorny nature."	POS
United States	Keisha Hatchett TV Guide	"The show's potential as a worthwhile experience is marred by frustratingly convoluted and melodramatic plot points that take the show from sweet and sentimental to a lackluster, predictable muck."	NEG
