Hand of God, An Amazon Original released in 2015
What started off as a strange, but intriguing pilot, blossomed into a perfect full season. No moment wasted, no superfluous lines, no unnecessary characters: Hand of God is great TV. It was a perfect season, from my point of view and I would watch it over and over, again.
Synopsis:A very powerful, but selfish, contemptible, bought-with-the-right-price judge comes to believe that he is anointed by God after his son nearly succeeds at committing suicide. But something is showing him that things aren't as simple as they may seem and that he has to do something to right the wrongs.
Don't read beyond this point if you haven't seen the show yet.
Crystal was almost always wearing black or dark clothes and Tessie was almost always wearing white. Even Tessie's house was decorated with white, but in the scene when her son/brother decides to leave, she's wearing black pants with a white top, and the dining room was mostly white, but the bottom of the table was black as if illustrating Tessie's underlying dark past/ darkness.
Almost the whole show until the last two episodes, I thought Josh had something to do with PJ's suicide and possibly even Jocelyn's rape. That video was a major plot twist and I was totally off! Well done, writers. Well done.
I'm giving this five stars ***** because I now list this in my favorites and I think Hand of God is an all-around exceptional TV show that, like fine wine grows better and better with each viewing.

This show was so good and a perfect season of a series that had me wanting more but not sure where else it could go so I would be okay if there was not a second season. The acting, music, and character development was great the entire time with no wasted episodes which I am not used to with a series that doesn't have BBC watermarked at the bottom.
