God Friended Me

The Dragon Slayer

If only all humans were as good as Miles.  Week by week, this series restores my faith in humanity.  Most of God Friended Me Season 1 Episode 17 focused on Miles' friend suggestion, Ben Evans, a homeless man whose run of bad luck was getting the best of him.

TV Review: 'God Friended Me'

At first blush, “God Friended Me” is an easy target for mockery. Its title promises something wacky and miraculous, with a bonus social- media tie-in for relevance.
