So... this is a TV show...

So I watched the Book of Daniel from Start to Finish and I will post now my review of this truely attrocious bit of television.

Ok so in the Book of Daniel we have a Priest who is a drug addict, his daughter who sells pot to get software and computer stuff to turn her manga into anime...which seems ludicrous on its head, the gay son, the drunk wife, and the relatively normal adopted Asian son.

He has a father who was the Former Bishop and is having an affair with the current Bishop while his wife is melting down from Alzheimers... oh and the current Bishop is getting hooked on perscription pain killers by the current priest.

The former Bishop is trying to hook up his grand son with a young lady while he is going to hook up with her brother.

The priest had his brother-in-law run a school building program and he embezzled the money so they called in the Mafia through an Italian Catholic Priest

and his Sister-in-Lawis having a lesbian relationship with her former "concubine" who either stole the money from the church or killed her husband or maybe both

Confused? well don't forget Jesus... yeah Jesus is in the show and occassionally Jesus provides some good moral focus. But Mostly Jesus makes comments that neither add nor substantly grow the storyline.

The Storyline tries to cram a season of information into a single two hour pilot.

and this is what makes it a truely abominable show.

The only humanity or depth we see in any of the charecters is in the last 12-15 minutes of the pilot.

Poor pacing, to much crammed into the pilot

The only chance they had to keep this show afloat was a faux controversy

so Just as Jesus tries help Daniel with some morality he like a deus ex machina that he is will probably keep the show afloat.

Bad Tv... and just watching the previews showed me that.

But well when nothing else was on and I watched it.

but that will never happen again... its to bad..to horrible...and utterly unwatchable
