Let's start with the good bits (of the first two episodes - that's all I could take): I enjoyed David Tennant and Michael Sheen as the two main characters, Nina Sosanya as Sister Mary Loquacious, and Sam Taylor Buck as Adam Young.

The "Garden of Eden" characters puzzled me - if Eve is "Adam's Rib", why is her skin so much paler? Discovering that God was not just a woman, but an American woman at that, made me realise where the money must have come from to make this adaptation, and made me fear for the adapter's treatment of Americans who feature in the plot (but as I haven't seen those episodes this isn't a spoiler).

I shouldn't really have been surprised at Anathema Device being American too, but that was my "U-571" moment. The opening sequence was reminiscent of BBC TV's "The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" - another story that worked better on the radio.
