Technically it's good, i.e. the majority of the actors, the cinematography, the costumes, effects etc. are all fine - the Queen soundtrack, however, I found only partially fitting.

Anyway, I felt it was all in all too contrived. Except for Michael McKean (who is great here), it wasn't really funny, but rather abstruse, even childish. But there was nothing extraordinary about it that made this series stand out in any way.Of course the religions (mainly Christians) are taken for a ride, but not as sharp and pointed as Monty Python did or, for example, in the case of the confused angels and demons who absolutely want war, it was not depicted as pointedly.

One seems to be clearly targeting young people, which also explains many of the positive reviews, which refer to the book that their authors read when they were young. Perhaps you also have to be English to understand some of the references.

All in all, I have to say that it is not a series that you absolutely have to have seen, but rather one that you can watch on the side without having missed anything important.
