‘God Friended Me’ Bosses Reveal What Would Have Happened in Season 3
Finale
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for the series finale of God Friended Me, “The Mountain.”]
Miles’ (Brandon Micheal Hall) journey came to an end in the final two episodes of God Friended Me on Sunday.
His last friend suggestion was quite fitting: his sister Ali (Javicia Leslie), on the eve of her surgery. And when he was faced with possibly losing her, he found himself in a church, asking for help. It was then his father Arthur (Joe Morton) called, and when he returned to the hospital, it was to good news. Ali was going to make a full recovery.
The series ended with a montage wrapping up the characters’ stories — Miles and Cara (Violett Beane) got back together after a few months as friends, while Rakesh (Suraj Sharma) and Jaya (Shazi Raja) reunited and got engaged. Ali joined the seminary.
And in the final scene, Miles followed a message from the God Account to the Annapurna Himalayas, where he was set to get the answers he’d been eager for all along — from a “she” who has been waiting for him.
Here, executive producers Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt break down the series finale and reveal what would have come next.
How did the cancellation change your original plan for the Season 2 and series finales?
Steven Lilien: We had a version of the Season 2 finale that, 90 percent of it is there at its core. We always knew the whole season would be driving towards Miles and how far we could push him on his journey of rediscovering a version of faith. And we always knew from the beginning of the season from when we pitched it to CBS and Warner Bros. that we were going to do a whole back half arc of Ali having cancer and she was going to be our final friend suggestion. From that standpoint, everything stayed the same. Obviously, we did have a version that would launch us into Season 3 that is a little bit different how we decided to end it, but it didn’t change the spirit of what we were going for.
(David Giesbrecht/CBS)
Speaking of Ali as the last friend suggestion, was it always the plan to have her help Miles in his struggle with faith?
Bryan Wynbrandt: It wasn’t necessarily the plan. It was always the plan that she would be the last friend suggestion that would lead him towards the next chapter of his journey, and so when we realized the show wouldn’t be coming back, the direction we took Miles was a much more accelerated version of what we were going to do at the end of Season 2. It just ended up working out that way that Ali was the final friend suggestion that got him where he needed to go.
Obviously the big question of the series is who’s behind the God Account. What went into the decision for the ending we got?
Wynbrandt: The original script that Steven and I wrote had the mountaintop scene. That was actually filmed for the pilot. Obviously we didn’t go out of our way to film on a mountaintop for the last episode, and in fact, we had to cut short some of our filming for the last episode. So when we came up with the plan, we wanted to revisit that mountaintop footage because in a lot of ways, that was always our ideal ending: Miles on that mountaintop and heading to see the person and/or deity behind the God Account.
For us, the beauty of the show is the answer really lies in the beholder, and that’s the thing with religion too, is what you take from it. The spirit of the ending was always to put Miles in that position and put the audience in his point of view. Who is that person who is waiting for him? Is it God? Is it his mother? That was the journey we were going for, and we were able to get there sooner than we had hoped for.
Lilien: And on an emotional level, the mountaintop represents his journey. He started the series someone who is very much cynical about faith and people a little bit, and his reaction, the look on his face at the end, completes that arc, that he’s rediscovered his own faith and not so much entirely in religion but more in humanity. He feels at peace with this journey, which was really important to us.
After the God Account brought Miles and Arthur closer together, it reunited a father and son in the penultimate episode.
Lilien: We set up Alphonse midway through the season, and we always knew that, much like in the first season, it was about reuniting these three friends in Pria, Simon, and Henry. That Season 2, at its spine, once we introduced Alphonse and started to lay the ground for Corey, that it would be about reuniting a father and son, which is obviously incredibly important to Miles and Arthur.
(Barbara Nitke/2020 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.)
That’s why we decided very early on to make the connection that Alphonse had a very personal connection to Arthur and to the Finers. They were all invested much more than just a friend suggestion.
Miles and Cara do get back together after a few months. But can you talk about playing out that relationship this season and having them take a break? There were very real issues.
Wynbrandt: It was important for us to explore their relationship, like you said, and see how those real issues came to the forefront with an incredibly pervasive element in their life, the God Account, which ultimately took the legs out from under Cara when it broke up her family and then put her in a position of how does she feel about the God Account and how does it affect her relationship with Miles? They ultimately make a decision to take a break, and sometimes people make those decisions and one person in that relationship is able to move forward, and the other isn’t.
For Miles, he started to really resent the fact that he made all these sacrifices for the God Account and wasn’t seeing Ali being helped by it ultimately, and felt that losing Cara wasn’t something he would’ve chosen in any other circumstance. It was really important to see that, while the God Account was doing great things for Miles, it was also taking things away from him. That’s the prophet’s journey. You can’t really walk that path and be able to have love and a perfect life and still be this man who’s on this mission to help all these people.
Early on in the season with Gideon, played really wonderfully by T.R. Knight, he really set down the standard for Miles saying that the God Account would make him choose, and it ultimately did. But we ultimately felt had the series gone on multiple more seasons or even one more, eventually Miles and Cara would end up together because that always was, in our hearts, what we wanted for them. We just obviously needed to accelerate that for the ending because it would’ve been disappointing if they didn’t end up together in the end.
Rakesh and Jaya also get back together. What would we have seen with that relationship?
Lilien: Shazi is such a terrific actress. She brings so much life into that role, and we love them together and they always pop so much. We introduced her in the finale with the idea they were going to try to restart things in Season 3. We always saw that as this great love story, that they ultimately would end up together and have a family and be these soulmates.
If you go back to the pilot, you have someone in Rakesh who basically said he doesn’t believe in soulmates, that there’s one person for you, and then he met Jaya in the pilot. We always imagined from day one that that would be his journey. Starting him in that place and ending with, if it was 20 years from now, they’d have a family together.
Wynbrandt: We even discussed in Season 3 them finding out that she was pregnant. We were going to have some fun stuff in Season 3 for the two of them.
(Barbara Nitke/2020 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.)
There were moments for a lot of the relationships in these last two episodes — Miles/Cara, Miles/Rakesh, Miles/Arthur, Miles/Ali, Arthur/Ali, Ali/Trish, Cara/Ali. Which ones did you want to make sure you included and were there any emotional scenes you wish you’d been able to include?
Wynbrandt: We had a scene that we were unable to film where we were going to see Miles as a young child praying in the church for his mother, something that he told the story of in the pilot to Cara. We were going to start the episode in the past with him as a young kid, praying, and Arthur there with him, and then we were going to flash to the present, and it was going to be this arc of getting him back into the church at the end and it was going to round out the arc even more.
We had cast this young man, an 8-year-old kid, to play Miles, and he was so great, and his audition was fantastic, but because of what happened with the situation in New York and us having to pull production — that was the day we decided to go down in production and we were never were able to film that scene. That was one I really was looking forward to.
Miguel returned, and we got that great montage of friend suggestions at the end. Are there any you wish you’d been able to revisit?
Lilien: Oh my God, yeah. That ending with all the friend suggestions is sort of like a love letter to the fans. There’s so many we brought back over the course of 42 episodes that we loved. You had Ray, and you had Fliss and John Dove and all these characters that really left an imprint on us and the fans.
The idea is if we went into Season 3, just like we did with Season 2, to bring people back and see how their lives have been changed by Miles. And [to] see how maybe they start to pay it forward, which is something we were going to get into in Season 3 if we had that opportunity.

Shame on CBS for cancelling "God Friended Me", finally get something on television to watch worth watching and what they do cancel it. This is the type of show that should be shown during these times we live in. Hopefully it can be picked up by another network.

I totally agree! I truly feel God Friended Me was one of the finest TV series I hade ever watched. Not one for the tears when I watch tv shows , it was a
rarity when I did not tear up towards the end of each episode. I also, hope and pray that this show is picked up by another network so that his journey can continue!
i thought the entire cast was amazing !!!
Thank you all !!!

In the finale, Miles already said he and Cara got together as did Rakesh and Jaya. Another season now would seem anti climatic since you already know these characters fates.

But was all that just a "dream?" The new story line could pick-up where Miles got knocked out with his fall on the subway train. What really happened after that?

C
Perhaps they could bring the premiss back but do it with new actors in a different city/cities each season...The God account doesn't need to exist in one place with one recipient...Many seasons could eventually develop into a grand reunion season of all those God account teams and recipients meeting and sharing....

I really enjoyed watching this show. It gave us something to hope for, look forward to and learn from. I will miss watching it and I hope and would LOVE if it gets picked up from a different network. There is still more to explore with these characters and storylines. These actors really came across to us watching, like they were a family. So sad to see this one go....

O
Agree - so many unexplored possibilities for storylines as the characters could move forward with big questions on the spiritual dimensions of life experiences and the implications of the effects of big data and the internet universe. Please can we have some more of the open-ended questions to stimulate great group discussions, please?!?

We enjoyed the fine acting & spiritual stories every week. Loved the friend requests & how they developed. It was refreshing to see a show without violence, vulgarity, or meanness. Society needs more people helping people..this show was inspirational ......a real WINNER! Hope another network brings it back with developing the characters’ even more.

Why would you cancel such a great show like God Friended Me. Must your audience only be barraged with violence and sex. Finally a show came on that was full of hope and peace and you cancel it? Not good! Definitely not good!!!

Right but who was god
17
-
O
Whoever it was was omnipotent enough to know the exact page Ali put her note in, the exact second people would cross the street, who would cross paths again many months later, and exactly the subway Miles would be on months before Ali was diagnosed.
So either God or a data program that became god.

But then Rakesh is god, because he rebuilt the God Account.

Maybe more importantly (since, In my heart, I have a relationship with God), who was the “Budah-like” child?? Ending was very disappointing to me 🙁

I reckon the story was going to be it was Alfron all along, probably with the help of that asian hacker that vanished without a trace. He spied on his son, had contacts that could steal his code, his insurance business would make a fortune being able to predict and prevent accidents before they would happen, thus they would never have to pay out. An he CIA, they are train liars. This would have made sense.
Through a better twist would have been it was Rakesh from the start being behind the god account. He stole various pieces of code to build it. But he somehow lost control, an it went its own way.
Rakesh found it choose miles to be it hand in the real world, months before it acted, so Rakesh became friends with miles to keep tabs on the god account . An that it was all a act over the last few seasons. Why are the cases link to Miles, because the god account wanted to prove to Rakesh it could do good in the world.
Then the mountain top scene could be his and Mile reconciliation after Miles found out the truth.

This show was amazing! The writing was creative and the characters were so believable. Fantasy premise, that became more believable show by show. This show showed us how faith can help us navigate the challenges of life. What a shame it ended so soon.

I was taking care of my mother who was in bad health. I got her turned on to "God friended me." She looked forward to watching it with me. Unfortunately, she passed March 7th. I look over at her chair and she's not there. She would have been very saddened that the show is canceled. I agree with the comments about such a GOOD show is canceled when you have shows about the devil that stay on. CBS, let's see season 3. God Bless, yours, Jackie

I feel like I've been gut-punched. Did not realize until I was watching tonight that this was actually the last episode and that the show had been cancelled. Near the end of the episode it started to feel like something wasn't right so I looked at the guide and it said "Series finale." What? Not Season but Series finale. Shame on CBS. This was a great show for young and old alike and now it is gone. CBS does this a lot, cancelling good shows. I really don't think I will give any CBS shows a chance in the future. They all abruptly end so what is the use? I will miss this show and Deputy...I hear it too has been cancelled.

Yes please renew this show, my husband and l look forward to watching this show together every Sunday night. It only one in a million, that do not have offensive scenes and violence on it, that a Christian can watch without changing the channel. Please reconsider renewing it or selling to another network.

I am so very sorry the show ended! I had not idea!! It is a shame that there are very few shows like it on the air and it'll be sorely missed! Again, CBS did not consider their audiences! Loved the show! Good luck to all the very fine actors!! I do not know what will happen with Ali and her new girlfriend though!

Love the show. So sorry that it was cancelled. . I told my family and friends that it was one of the few shows on TV that had no violence, sex or bad language . It just showed the goodness in people. Am I the only one who thought that Miles was on that mountain top because he died and was finally going to meet God who was a “woman’. Going to miss the show. 😢

I too believe that Miles had finished his life on earth. The "she" could be his mom, waiting for him. I reviewed the ending a few times and I believe the blinding light is the light that is witnessed by those ready to "move on."

I can't express how sad and disappointed I am that we discovered tonight's finale was the series finale... not the season finale!! By far this is the show we have looked forward to every week for two years. With so much negative and trashy programming on TV this show was a ray of hope, inspiration and decency. It prompted us to be aware of the ways God works in our lives. People cross our paths and often there is a reason if we take the time to recognize it and help those He presents us with. Bravo to the writers and cast! 👏 I pray this show will be resurrected in some form! ❤🙏

I was a fan of God Friended Me from the very first episode. It was so different from all the reality shows; which make up a way to big portion of t.v. on all channels. This was a family show, and reminded me of 'Touched By an Angel' and 'Highway to Heaven' but with a modern twist. Thank you for 2 great Seasons. I recorded every episode and will be revisiting. I too hope another Network will realize what a gem this show is and bring it back.

But who is behind the God account. I hate these unanswered endings, lets not forget Sopranos. What kind of computer coding genius who lives in the mountains with Buddhas would have done all of this? Only clue is a female. Do the writers and producers even know? I did like this show for good feelings especially when Im feeling down and I loved the characters bonds and all. Wish everyone in the world could be like that, sadly I have not met one of them. OMG I really need to know who is behind the God account.

"God Friended Me"" has been a television gift to me that I, and many others, will treasure. Everyone and everything came together to create television magic. Thank you for writing and filming a ending instead of abruptly departing leaving unresolved plot lines. Hopefully you can sell this quality show to someone like PBS. Or make a finale movie - if not theater release then made for TV. Whatever ... thank you.

Although I love tuning in to a good whodunnit, a couple cop shows & a few reality series, God Friended Me was a pleasant break from all the drama, violence & ‘trucker’ profanities out there in TV land. Tonight I was not surprised but very disappointed to find out that I was watching the series finale. There are too few “feel good” shows out there. It’s no wonder that there are fewer & fewer younger people that truly believe the world IS a good place. Where’s the entertainment value in good people doing good things? Killing others - that’s entertainment! How does that make any sense? Let’s bring back MORE shows like GOD FRIENDED ME!! CBS, what were you thinking??

I am so sad to see this show end. It was my favorite show these two years. The stories were uplifting and made me feel good inside which shows rarely do. Love the actors and everything about the show. I cried at the end when I realized this was the last show. We need more of this type of great shows on tv that made us feel good instead of all the shows on tv that are full of murders and sadness. I think CBS made a big mistake taking this wonderful show off the air. Sad inside.

I felt this show brought out a need in our world today for spirit love and connection ...my search for God daily often looks similar to what happens on the show and I loved watching ... I think its a mistake to end this program

Since Miles lost his faith when his mother died, I believe she was behind the God account to restore it. I loved this show. So sad.

This was one of my favorite shows. I am very disappointed it ended so soon. So many shows about nothing, with stupid plots last forever. Shows with black stars don't get a chance, no matter how good they are. It will be missed.

I loved this show! I looked forward to seeing it every Sunday. I don't understand when a wonderful family show like God Friended Me comes in the air, they cancel it. It's sad when people of faith finally have a program they can enjoy and relate to and is taken off the air because non-believers don't want it shown and complain. What happened to equal rights in America?

“She’s been waiting for you.” Miles’ mom, or God is She.

It’s sad that the show was cancelled. I agree with those that said there are so few loving, gentle shows on TV anymore. All we otherwise get is cars racing, violence, guns firing, blood and guts. Or-foolish sitcoms no way up to the standards of years ago. TV has list it’s charm.

This show saved my life. Context: I was in the ICU and presumed to be in a coma. My brother who knew me very well (We've lived together for the past 30 years in Brooklyn) decided to turn on my favorite show, God Friended Me created by Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt. At that moment (Likely by some miracle), I was able to blink my eyes open and closed signaling to the numerous doctors standing beside me that I was indeed not clinically considered to be brain dead. After that, it was a long battle to finally being able to get to some semblance of normalcy, but God Friended Me, created by Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt, was with me the whole way. HOW DARE these people for cancelling one of the only feel good shows left on television while show like (I don't even want to mention it, but here I go) The Bachelor get another 12 seasons. This is why everything wrong with America.

I love this show. It shows we’d the goodness in people and that faith means so many different things to people. I’m sad that it ended and I too hope to see it get picked up again.

The show finished when many things in my life (that were happening during this particular show) finished. Therefore, I'm not going to complain, however I absolutely loved the series, it was incredibly poignant. Yet, the chapter has been closed, thank you again for this journey!

Very sad to hear that it’s canceled probably because it has to do with God

It's always the way..shows that are faith based get canceled and are far and few between...yet how many witch and devil shows do we have?? The great hollywood way

I am so sad and disappointed about the cancellation of God Friended Me. I loved that show. It sent a good message every week and made people feel good about themselves and the human race. It gave one hope! It was a show like no other. What is wrong with CBS?? So sad. 😞

please reconsider! Especially during these turbulent times. It’s the only uplifting show on TV!! Why didn’t you market it more? I always watched it even if I had to catch up after a couple weeks. C’mon CBS!

Not all shows want to restore faith and makes you believe that there is good ending always. This was much needed now and all times. It’s reallY sad it had to end this. Though every episode and season had a good ending but not the series ‘ god friended me ‘ itself didn’t have a good one in real.

this is such a wonderful show about the spirt of helping others, of going above and beyond, and is really what has been going on during the pandemic. Praying that this show will have more seasons.....

I am really upset they cancelled the show! I looked forward to watching it every week! It was an uplifting show that so many shows don't have. It is sad that if a show doesn't have any sex or violence get cancelled. It is a show that is needed in this world especially with times like these. I really hope another network will be smart and pick up this wonderful show.

B
Believe us....nobody wanted this show to end! I want to be moved and this show moved me on several levels! There is not a replacement for this! It moves, teaches and makes you feel good and think. We couldn’t wait for the next episode! My hats off to the actors producers writers! A job well done! Thank You❤️

Such a great, unique, creative show about faith and loving people. So disappointed CBS cancelled it! Extremely poor decision on their part. I looked forward to it every week and so did the rest of my family! We need more shows like this on TV. Great job creators of God Friended Me!!! You hit it out of the park!!!!!! Come on CBS!!!

Thank you so for such a terrific show my husband called it my show but he loved it too. I hope that another network does pick it up and that the main characters haven't found other work because they are wonderful actors.

I am so disappointed that it has ended. God Friended Me was the one show of the week that filled me up and told stories that makes you want to believe in the goodness of man even in the middle of making mistakes. I didn't realize it was a 2 hour finale and unfortunately had to record it this week. So...I did not, yet seen the final finale. I thought it was just a season finale. Ah well once again let down by the station. A good healthy show never seems to last long

"God Friended Me" has been such a refreshing television gift that I, and many, will treasure. Thank you for writing and filming an ending instead of abruptly ending leaving unresolved plot lines. My hope is someone, like PBS, would pick the show up or a movie finale would be filmed. Whether either is feasible or not, thank you.

Watching "God Friended Me," has brightened my Sunday, it bought structure to my day and peace to my heart, giving me something to look forward to. Hoping that the writers, producers, actors, and all instrumental in making this show, will continue to write and show more series of it? Saddened to see it go off the air, in this day and age, where so many do need help and guidance, also, bringing faith, hope and interfaith "GOD", a higher power in their lives, showing that there are good people willing to unselfishly give their time to help others. Miles' podcasts are what the youth of today do need to hear!

Let’s all fight to get this show back
-

This was an awesome show. It's a shame they're not brining it back for Season 3. The stories were moving and the entire plot is thought provoking.
-
R
WHAT. THE.... (can't say the other word, God might see) I am absolutely appalled. another heartwarming, feel-good show cancelled just because its not The Bachelor or whatever other disgusting wanton filth the media wants us to watch.. all anyone wants to see these days is vulgarity... sickening... this show would have SAVED our nation.
-

Too true 😠

I am so sad to find that this show is over. I feel like these people are all part of my family. Good to have a clean show on tv, somewhat faith based. I even bought the series on Amazon which I rarely do. I bet must of us on here would do the same for a season 3. Pick it back up!!
-
R
amazing show, really loved it, wish it could continue!

Same here! Follow insta @arpukumar1314

I really liked this program. I wondered what happened but I am not surprised when I saw it was because of ratings. People would rather watch unrealistic cop dramas or smutty reality shows, but when it comes to religion or faith based programing, the ratings fall. Not surprised at all
-
O
I Liked it for this reason too.
-
O
good show
-
G
I still can't believe this show was cancelled. The act simply shows that CBS is only interested in the profit they make and not the life and value they can give to the society.
-
P
i was such a big fan of the show my brother was able to finish season 3 but i wasnt big rip to all who couldnt watch.
-
B
Omg 😱 are networks crazy? The networks show nothing family related or educational for people. You took away Grimm, The legend of Sleepy Hollow now God Friended Me? And replace them with foolish game shows & soap operas. TV control’s us with the garbage they want to fill our minds with. We want The Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday night back with Family time & wholesome entertainment.
No wonder why I watch Fox News. Better than ABC, CBS, NBC.
-
O
Really sad.... I was sitting here thinking ... hey when is GFM coming back on? Than found out it’s not!
-
P
I agree with GreenSubmarine. My sister and I enjoyed watching and it was a good thing that came up when it did. We have been dealing with many things that have come our way. And even to today we are still dealing with issues. "GOD Friended Me" sent us to a place, to place all our faith in GOD.

O
i was really disappointed to see it cancelled by cbs this year; it was a very big mistake on their part &doing then.

I LOVE God Friended Me! I wish it wasn’t ending:(. Really enjoyed every show! So inspiring!!! I always wanted to go help someone every time I saw it. We need more shows like this but I would prefer seeing more series if God Friended Me. Thank you for an awesome show!
-
O
I found it incredibly sad that this show ended. The acting was very good and the writing gave some great story lines. In a time where there's so much negative feelings in the world this show gave positive messages. Plus it was a good family show that could prompt valuable discussion. You had actors that were multiracial and a young black man who was the lead that presented a positive role model to all youth. I can't believe they took it off.
-
O
Wish this show would come back! It’s the most wholesome show on television right now and I love it. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the whole world would do its best to reach out and help people. It would be a wonderful world!

maybe u can start a hashtag like they did for lucifer haha

Hii, I really liked the show. They all cast and crew are phenomenal 👌. When I heard the. 3 season is cancelled....I feel sad.
Please restart the show. This show is really great 😍😘

Please bring back God Friended Me. We need positive shows like these during this sad time where we have to be home. With so many violent shows on TV nowadays it is refreshing to watch something stimulating.

It was a bad move to cancel it. This show was safe for all ages, race, culture and religion... what went wrong?🤨🤨🤨

I loved the series it was a calm place in a sea of junk and I’m angry about it surprised not more feel the same.
I’m sick of this a great show you get invested in only to have them pull the rug out from under you.
scorpion all over again.
i’m done with cbs.

God Friended Me was the only show I made a point of watching every week. I am so sad it was cancelled.

CBS NEEEDDDSSS TO BRING THIS SHOW BACK

G
I'm more than devastated that there is no season 3, CBS what were you thinking, this has been the most amazing show ever. Re think your choice please
-
G
Written to the actress that plays Cara and posted here as I agree with all of you!!!
I just finished the last episode (had TiVo’d and saved it) and I had no idea of the cancellation. I am heartbroken as this was one of my favorite shows of all time...there is so little uplifting about this world sometimes and this show has been a light in the darkness. I work as a Suicide crisis counselor and that is what I try to be to others, that light, and after working a long shift and staring into the darkness your show was often what lifted me up...gave me hope. I hope CBS changes their mind and I plan to write them...as The five minute recap didn’t do justice to what unfolded and we all longed to experience as viewers...the culmination of a love born out of friendship and working and growing side by side (even if just two characters on TV). SADNESS. Yes...such sadness...mixed with gratitude for you as an actress and all the other actors and how they brought such meaningful characters to life. So thank YOU 🙏 and shame on CBS for taking away a light in the darkness that we could all use, especially right now...
-

I am so saddened with the cancelling of God friended me . This show gave hope compassion and love . It touched people on their very soul. I never write or complain about things but this show was extraordinary! Go to Netflix don't let this show die the message is just too important.

If not Hallmark in the inspiration channel?! Very sad to see it has been cancelled

Can't believe the show ended. Inspiring, entertaining, everything you want in quality programing. But no, they stick to violence! Bad choice! Bring them back and tell us who "she" is and what she told Miles!

Such a good show, it is definitely going to he missed.

I agree! Don’t take God Friended Me off the air. We finally have an uplifting spiritual program and they want it gone?? I do not understand nor agree
-
R
I do wonder just who gets to "rate" this shows from what I'm reading here none of us were. Maybe there is something too with how many $$ get to CBS from the advertising on the show.
-
R
I wish CBS had ballots to fill out on their shows and for you to rate your top 10 - God Friended Me would of been my Number 1. It's sad to think that crime shows, reality shows and silly comedies are more popular than this feel good and happy ending show. I know I will miss it very much. Tempted to just not watch and CBS show next season.
-
R
The way they ended it gave some answers but it left some unanswered. Maybe work on something like this but new. I thought it was good. Made me feel good.

I’m so upset God Friended Me got cancelled. This was one of my favorite shows. CBS you messed up by canceling it.

I’m so disappointed this show has been canceled! We finally get a show that creates hope in humanity rather than, like most on TV now, reflect it’s dysfunction.
God Friended Me made me smile, cry and look deep inside. Thanks to the creators, cast and crew for creating this special show.
-
G
Truly sad to see God Friended Me end, kind of hurts. That being said, thanks for showing us that, what’s important in life can be displayed by Blessed actors, writers, producers.....Loving and caring enough to care! You guys will truly be missed! B-Blessed!

I think that CBS should read these comments. I watched this show from day one and I was so sad to hear that it was canceled. This show gave people hope in these very hard times. Please reconsider or maybe they can continue on another station. I miss the show already. This show was the highlight of my Sunday. Please show these comments to CBS.
-

WHY???? Because it's not a house wife a good I going to miss "God Friended Me"

We loved this show and are extremely disappointed with its cancellation! Please bring it back!!

P
My daughter and I loved this show and went through boxes of tissues. We started a little late in the first season but I only suggested it after seeing a comment that if you liked Early Edition, you will like God Friended Me. Early Edition was our favorite show and it was like the early newspaper, which would change during the day leading the main character to achieving a good outcome; the paper was the God account in a way. Plus Early Edition was totally clean and family oriented. The first season we caught up with reruns since football prevented us from seeing some episodes, some we had to read the ending on the internet and a couple we had to read the entire episode on the internet. Sadly, due to COVID-19, we could not watch the second half of the final season but did watch each episode the same day and share our reactions. I rated the episodes by number of tissues. She and I are both atheists but I raised her to be open minded to all beliefs by all people. She wanted a resolution to the God account but I argued that never finding out, especially when the writers teased us only to pull it away, is both the charm of the show and respectful of all beliefs. It could be a long wait for a similar show.
-
P
Really loved this show, taped it if we couldn't watch. You need to Reconsider!

I hope someone picks up this show. It has a great message of hope. One of the few shows that the whole family could and would want to watch together. Please bring it back!
-

I am truly disappointed that God Friended Me is being cancelled. This was one of the best most intriguing series in TV. It was so real. The characters were fantastic. The stories we’re heartwarming at a time when our country needed more shows like this one. I am very sad 😢😢 I was so looking forward to another season. It will be truly missed.
-
G
I don’t understand why they canceled this amazing show! It actually had a beautiful combination of conflict and hope, sadness and love. What a creative, thought provoking storyline, with surprises and twists that left me always looking forward to the next episode. Shame on CBS! I pray another network picks it up. A faith-filled viewer.
-
P
I am so disappointed they canceled “God Friended Me.” This was a wonderful show about, hope, love, and helping others out! I’m so frustrated with their decision! Please bring it back!!! We, as a country are facing very challenging times; and “God friended Me” gave us all hope, peace, and happiness.
-
O
I wish this gets pulled in by Netflix or any other channel..
One of the best series you can watch with your family.
-
P
Great show, discovered it right before the pandemic and it captivated my interest to binge watch the whole series. Well written, great characters, it it touched on an emotional human inspirational sense that faith whether you believe or not is an essential part of humanity. It’s a shame CBS cancelled the show. Perhaps it’s future can live on on another network or Netflix or one of the other streaming services but there’s an audience for it.
-
P
Kudos to the writers who gave this wonderful show such a respectful and loving ending
-
P
God Friended me was just too good for today’s tv schedule which is filled with repetitive plots and shows that would never have fit into the family hour. CBS couldn’t handle a quality show. It is the viewer’s loss.
-
R
I’m thinking that this hit a little too close to home for the atheistic leadership at CBS. I’m confident enough in my beliefs that I am not afraid to let others express theirs. Why are the Networks so intimidated by faith based programming? Are they trying to save us from ourselves? How does my believing in God infringe on anyone else’s rights? Programming should reflect your audience, that’s advertising 101. Programming certainly is focused on meeting the needs of every group in America except those who believe in God. How very sad for believers and financially irresponsible for network executives. Your loss CBS! A great show with great values, too bad CBS’s aren’t compatible.
-
C
Loved this show & the writers were fantastic! So very disappointed that it was cancelled - especially with so many “bad” shows on the air. We get over250 channels & sometimes there’s just nothing great to watch! The characters were so great & the storylines made me believe that there really are good & helpful people in this World! Thank you to all who worked on this show for giving us 2 years of Hope!!

Great show. Great cast. So sorry that it is being cancelled. One of the best on TV.

I wholeheartedly agree. I look forward to God friended me every single week. It always made me feel good about this world were in and all of our crazy situations. Bring it back. We loved it.
-
G
What a wonderful ensemble cast and what a fabulous show with a positive faith based message. I have been a loyal viewer. It is disappointing that positive dramas such as this one just seem to struggle in the ratings. And this show was in a challenging time slot due to the sports programs that preceded it. I am really going to miss it and hope another network will continue it. CBS has made a huge mistake with this cancellation.
-
C
I believe in GOD and this was such a good show of how people can be healed and redirected in life thru the power of GOD. I liked the individual relationships played out in the series but for me it was all about the friend suggestions. I'll pray for the cast and crew that someway this show can and will continue because theirs just not enough faith based programming these days.
-
C
Im sorry that they canceled this show. Love it. It was good clean show

O
I'm disappointed that "God Friended Me" has be cancelled. It is one of the few shows that provides inspiration on so many different levels. Having faith, hope, helping others, loving and caring for family, friends and strangers, giving love to everyone, no ugly conflicts, peace! All of this was broadcast to a country in need. How sad that these messages will not continue to be broadcast to inspire all of us. We need it, and will continue to need it, now more than ever. Shame on CBS!
-
G
CBS should be ashamed of themselves to cancel such a good show.. One that I watched every week... This show really gave hope to people, whether you were religious or not... You guys should pitch it to another network... It should go on!!

Best show ever

this show really was great. im not a religious person but i found my self questioning my own beliefs and try to see GOD in the everything. shame on cbs for canceling a great show

I just can't believe God Friended Me is over. It is one of the best shows ever and I always looked forward to it. It was so uplifting and I loved all the characters and very creative writing which always had great surprises. Why did this happen and no mention of it before Sunday and no mention of it after it was over on Sunday. Why can't you leave a decent program on tv?

We loved that show, never missed an episode. The characters were great, ya ll choose them well. After reading all of this, we still dont understand why it was cancelled. You had a hit show and now you dont, not a good decision.

What a loss to all of the fans of "God Friended Me", as well as the cast & crew. Like millions of others, I watched & became invested in, each & every episode. What a joy it was to follow all the characters & their lives, their trials & triumphs. Much love to ALL the cast members & those who helped create this precious show. THANK YOU!

I really enjoyed this show, and too bad that it was canceled BUT it was hard to watch cause it hit home sooo close to the days my mother was alive with cancer,,,, brought back sooo many memories alot good, some teary eyed.

My husband and i loved god friended me also heart warming and uplifting. Maybe netflix would pick it up like lucifer and designated survivor?
-
P
Once again a fine show meets its demise at the hands of invisible execs that sit around a table looking at nothing but spread sheets about ad revenues and subjective rating stats that don't truly gauge the popularity among a vast swath of people across the land that invest their time and their hearts in characters and storylines that offer hope, humanity, empathy and compassion. Traits that are sorely needed in today's world more than ever. God Friended Me offered a brief respite and a welcome invitation into a caring environment that all of its fans embraced. Justice would have this show picked up by another network, so that we all can continue to see a glimpse into the salvation of the soul.
-
G
I wanted to like the show, but I didn't. Let's face it, the premise is very high concept, God friends someone on Facebook, ok sure. Still, it could have worked but I'm not surprised it didn't for a couple reasons. First of all, the lead actor lacked charisma, and does not have the looks to be a romantic leading man. I think a more charismatic actor was needed to carry the show, nothing against mr. Hall, he just wasn't right for the part. Or maybe the writing was just so exceedingly wholesome he wasn't able to break out Like he needed to. Also, honestly and sorry don't mean to sound offensive, but the writing was so milquetoast, it came across to me as black characters written by white writers. ALL the characters were so goody-goody, nobody ever got mad or swore. People are flawed and sometimes they get mad, curse, and are ticked Off. They are not perfect, but everyone in this show was so sickeningly sweet and nice. I'm not saying make them like characters in a Quentin Tarantino movie, but come on, nobody in real life behaves like these people, especially in New York. Just make them more realistic and not so squeaky clean. I know it's a family show promoting Christian values but still nobody is perfect like the characters on the show. It was like they were all in Up With People.

God Friended Me is a fantastic series, with wonderful actors, great story line, and heartfelt messages. This is the type of tv show that our families need and can watch together with children. So very sad to see it canceled. What a shame.
-
C
I was very disappointed that CBS canceled God Friended Me. I thought it was a really good wholesome show that showed how people's lives can be changed when others help them. I always looked forward to the show each week and will really miss it.
-
C
We finally have a TV show that is uplifting and helpful and teaches people how to help each other and makes the human race look as wonderful as it really is and they cancel it I can’t believe it
-
G
I cannot believe CBS would cancel this show. It was one of the truly comforting and inspiring shows on TV without ever getting sappy. We certainly need that in this day and age. The actors had a warm and special way of reaching their audience. I hope another network would step in and find a way of continuing the journey of these wonderful characters. CBS, we really do not need an influx of so-so comedies. This was a special show and you fell short of realizing that.
-
O
Really disappointed that they canceled this show. There was finally something on TV that wasn’t about cops or killings or crime. Something that was true to my heart was God Friend Me. I love this show. I have a lot of episodes recorded so I will be going back and watch again. Just a shame, really is a shame.
-
C
I know what I am praying for; another network to pick up God Friended Me. One of the finest programs for everyone. What's wrong with the people who end a wholesome and fun program like this one. Believers, non-believers, all the viewers want to experience more with these wonderful characters, played by these wonderful actors. PLEASE find another network for this program. I am praying for a Season 3.
-
G
This is what's missing with TV. Yes it's entertainment, but more importantly it's the lessons learned while living everyday life. "God
Friended Me" allowed people to examine what their life could be like helping total strangers better understand themselves and
their personal world. To realize we can still be different yet fulfill the real reason we're here...to help each other.
-
C
At least we got some closure which is rare these days with shows getting cancelled abruptly. I don't think an explanation on who was behind the God account that will satisfy everybody exists. Someone out there was bound to be disappointed.

Loved the show and so sad that such a great quality program was taken off the air. The actors and story lines were exceptional.
Thank you to the writers and actors for the great entertainment they provided for my family.

This was one of the few shows on major TV that was wholesome, feel good, and a bit exciting at times. I am sad it is gone.

I loved this show and am so sad to see it end. Thank you creators, writers and producers for quickly wrapping up story lines. We care about these people. Thanks for leaving the ending with what I consider a spiritual arc-I love Miles journey! Please write another series as wholesome and diverse and fun as this was. We need this kind of entertainment 🙏👍! Well done.

This was the ooneone and only show I truly looked forward to on a weekly basis. So uplifting, so easy to relate to on a spiritual level. All the questions everyone has at some time or another. Well acted and well presented and now gone. Sad about that. Reincarnation????

Is the season finale going to be shown again as a repeat? I saw every episode but because of covide 19 missed the finale

P
I don't watch much TV, other than news, and PBS. God Friended Me put a breath of fresh air into TV again for me. Please don't let these fine actors down. It was the best show ever.
-
O
All we have to see are bad sitcoms, strange syfi, fake ghost shows, and a lot of violence from cops and criminals. Such a nice change to see kindness and grace and spiritualism. How sad to have it cancelled. Maybe Hallmark channel can pick it up...
-
O
I agree with everyone, this was a show I truly looked forward to every Sunday and was blindsided by the series finale!!!! Please someone out there pick this series up and run with it!
-
P
I enjoyed the show but it was becoming way too predictable. It was time. The happy ever after ending for everybody was trite.
-
G
Hopefully another network will be smart enough to pick up this amazing show! We finally had a show on that wasn't violence or sex or nudity it was a nice good wholesome show and they cancel it. I'm coming
Shame on CBS!
-
R
Sometimes I think that the networks need to rethink about who does their ratings and reviews. This was a wonderful show that I looked forward to weekly. I found it to be thought provoking, emotional, filled with hope. It is a shame to cancel a good show with believable actors that are delivering a great message week after week. It was a breath of fresh air and I will miss it. Please bring it back.
-
R
Cannot believe God friended me has been cancelled. This was such an uplifting show. The cast and writing was amazing. We need a show like this more than ever with what the world is going through right now with COVID 19. Very sad this was cancelled at a time like this. One of the best shows on TV. Linda Ritthaler. 😭😢

I loved that show and taped it every Sunday. I always spoke about it to my friends and they hadn't even heard of it, I guess I knew then that it wasn't going to last 🙁
-
R
Amen, this was one of the best family shows around. It showed how we should help people no matter what. It showed people that didn't believe still able to help those around us and how much better this world would be if we all acted to help people. So disappointed that they ended it. Pretty soon there will be nothing to watch on TV.

I am SO disappointed that God Friended Me is ending. What a feel good, uplifting, program. I laughed, cried, and truly loved every minute of my time watching this series. I understand your metrics to decide a series continuance or fate...just wish their were other ways of measuring. Sometimes the way to a persons heart cannot be measured. Very sad.

This was a "throw back" to the 1970-1980's TV shows. Like Little House on the Prairie, Father Murphy, Touched by an Angel, etc. A feel good show with and well written with a good moral story. Unfortunately, people aren't interested in these kind of shows anymore??
-
R
A show that united people from all walks of earth...of course CBS cancelled it, didn't fit their narrative of people uniting.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO PICK UP THIS SHOW!
-
O
My wife and I were touched significantly by each episode of "God Friended Me."
We are immediately disappointed knowing this very well done program will not return.

G
First show in a long time I never wanted to miss. It was nice to see a show that encouraged people to do the right thing instead of watching another show of murder and sickness.This.one was one of a kind, totally different than anything else on TV and most of all you finally gave us a great family show.
-
G
This was such a well written and acted show! Something a family could watch. Why is it that if a show doesn’t have crime and blood and sex it gets cancelled? I bet that highway to heaven or Little House o the Prairie would never be picked up today! Shame on CBS for cancellingGodFriended Me!
-
R
Please bring the show back!!!! It was so good, we need more shows like this on tv! I’m heartbroken it’s over!!! So unexpected!!! 😢
-
O
This would be a great show for the Hallmark channel...it would add a heart warming show with more diverse characters in meaningful roles and not just diverse characters that are the side kick or city official that we see now on the channel.
-
R
It was an uplifting show the whole family could enjoy. It will be missed.
-
B
A time where hope is needed and CBS adds to the upheaval. Too bad. Hence the move to Hallmark.
-
O
This was my go-to show on Sunday nights. I hated to see it end. The final episode seemed jigsawed together and not as well thought out in character and plot sequence as the previous episodes.
-
O
We should have known that a feel-good, helping-hand, humanitarian and faith based program wouldn’t last. Too many politically correct and anti-spirituality people in charge now days. Sad sad world we live in. This show could have been taken in so many directions.
-
G
This is the best family-oriented show on TV. Why would you cancel it? This is outrageous!
-
G
I'm so angry at CBS for cancelling a very good show. It was positive, uplifting, showed true humanity, and inspired viewers to do good and be good. So what was wrong with that? Oh so I wonder what they will replace it with? Hmmm let me see, probably something about killing, mutilating, deception, hatred, etc., etc., etc. You get the point right. Hollywood is fueling people with bad ideas, they are the main cause of what is wrong with the moral values of people. Sorry CBS but I will not be a viewer any longer.
-
P
How could CBS decide to cancel God Friended me? Especially right now, with the pandemic. It was one show that highlighted the good in people, and showed people committed to helping others? My husband says ratings. I say that the world needs this show and I want it to be picked up and continued.
-
G
I am so surprised that this show was cancelled.
It was so well done. It had all types of people from different backgrounds and ethnicities.
It had the struggles and triumphs of the LGBTQ community.There was no judgement and showed how to appreciate people’s differences.
It had a black and white romance you loved. It talked about adoption. It talked about forgiveness. It talked about death and sadness and so much more. I looked so forward to this show and loved it’s message. It is one of the shows that is needed at this time in our country. I think it needs to come back! I will tune in for sure! Great job to the whole team! You will be missed!
Thank you!

The show being interrupted constantly by every crazy awards program. It’s still did well. And now they want to put on the movie of the week in its place. Do they think this is the 80s or that their Netflix. This is just a shame. I’m 73 years old and this is probably the only show that I watched on a regular basis in my entire life. I love the acting I love the stories Who is running CBS is these days that they canceled such a fabulous show
-
O
CBS just cancelled an excellent, thought provoking, quality show. Finally, there was something on TV worth watching with “God Friended Me”. The acting was excellent as well as the character development. I also hope another network will pick up this show. The writing and directing were first class and every story lead the viewer on a beautiful journey. CBS you blew it, letting this one go!
-
B
I am deeply sad that cbs cancelled this show - which brought hope, comfort and stories about helping each other at a time when we most needed it.
I hope hulu, netflix or amazon prime picks it up and gives it more life!
-
R
God Friended Me best show in years! So well written. It wasn’t a “formula” show.
Different and inspiring. I cannot believe you all took this off the air. I miss it already.
-
C
The idiots who run the Big 3 networks think the only people who watch their shows are the 18-49 age group. They think wrong. That's why we get shows like Bachelor, Survivor, etc. No thanks, I'll watch Me TV or Antenna TV with the reruns of shows that were actually worth watching.
-
O
"God Friended Me" wasn't so much about religion...it was more about love and faith in your fellow human.
I also think it was placed on the right day and in the right time slot. Juxtaposed to Sixty Minutes, a program that often exposes the ugly side of human behavior and often leaves folks with a cynical taste in their mouths, "God Friended Me" quickly restored a sense of hope in people. It also left folks with the feeling simple but tough decisions, even at the individual level, can inspire viewers to hope for a better, happier tomorrow.
Sadly, the show's cancellation leaves nothing even remotely as uplifting on network TV. I don't consider myself religious. However, I was always entertained by each week's characters from different backgrounds and facing different challenges as they struggled to find their moral compass.
-
O
We really looked forward to Sunday nights because of this show. “ God friended me” kinda pulled my wife & I in just like “ this is us” guess it’s back to Netflicks.
-
C
God Friended Me may have ended on our TV but I think it might have brought us together. Different beliefs, backgrounds, upbringings, nationality all brought together they help others they didn't know. This was a show that was brought to us all during this time so that we can remember we can not judge others but trust others even when we don't know anything about them. Life is full of questions I think this was one of those. Remember God Friended Me every day and see if you can help any one you can expecting nothing in return.
-
B
My favorite show on TV. Why end a great thing?
-
R
I am devastated that this show is ended so abruptly. It was one of the few shows with some real people with real life challenges without a lot of hype, violence or over the top drama. I looked forward to every week. Why would CBS cancel such a fantastic series??
-
G
So sad to see this all end....
-
O
Agree, this is a wonderful show and one we need now! Go Hallmark, please pick this up!!!
-
B
I really liked God Friended Me. So sorry it ended. It was out of the ordinary entertaining.
-
R
Not renewing the show, especially at a time when we need hope and a wholesome-feel-good show. CBS made a terrible choice. We loved this show and are extremely disappointed. You need to rethink your decision.
-
O
I love the show! Always looking forward on Sunday night to watch the it. I felt sad when it was good feel show to watch.
-
O
I wish they hadn't cancelled God Friended Me. It was an awesome show. The actors and actress was amazing. I hope another network picks them up.
-
B
this show reminded me of one i loved many years ago that went 9 seasons (same network) i think,"touched by an angel". GFM was like an updated version. so WHY would CBS cancel after just 2 seasons because of low ratings? apparently they ignored all the social media buzz about this show. if weak ratings were the issue they should have just changed the night, & given it at least one more season to see if the ratings improved. that has been a practice done before with much success by them. so WHY did they just KILL the show instead of trying that??? i just don't understand networks anymore. it's all about the bottom dollar rather than what viewers want. BOOOO to you CBS on this one!!!
-
B
Why would you cancel such a feel good series filled With faith, hope and love of God and humanity. People helping and caring for people. So needed especially at a time in our lives when we are all hanging on to hope. Shame on you CBS. It always comes down to ratings and $$$
-
O
Great ending to a very good series!! I am so sad the network was not willing to give it one more year—or more!!! I SO looked forward to it every Sunday evening!!!
-
G
I am also sad that there is no season 3. I very much liked this show. Really too bad.
I also loved all the actors in it. Very believable and heartfelt
-
B
This show was a breath of fresh air when most of our choices are reality shows. Just lost one of the best shows on TV
-
P
I am surprised God is not coming back. It was one of the few things I found entertaining, elevating and inspirational. I hope you do what Tim Allen did with Outdoor Man and find another station to broadcast on.
-
O
I recorded the final two episodes and was reluctant to finish them; I didn't want the show to end. With tears in my eyes, I watched - I thought the finale was incredible. So wonderful to have a wrap up of main character relationships and revisiting some of the friends helped. Kudos to everyone involved with God Friended Me!
-
G
My husband and I were so upset to learn they were cancelling the best show on network TV or any other for that matter. Please could another network pick this wonderful gem up
-
B
I am going to miss God Friended Me sooooo much. It was wonderful watching an episode each Sunday evening, and the two last night. I wish it would continue.
-
O
I am very upset that CBS canceled a well written and entertaining show such as God Friended me! They allow boring and less entertaining shows to linger on. I actually looked forward to watching this show on Sunday Nights when there isn't anything I enjoy watching. CBS and Warner Bros. You have Poor Judgement in quality acting.!
-
B
Really upset that this show was cancelled. Nice change from spinoffs. Gave me something to look forward to. Shameful for doing this.
-
O
I agree with one writer who said shame on CBS for cancelling God Friended Me. It was a wonderfully well written show that I actually looked forward watching on Sunday nights. I hope the producers will introduce it to another Network. There have been less funny or entertaining shows that bore and linger on for seasons. It was a divisivied show
-
P
I can't believe they cancelled the show!! It was one of my favorites that I never missed. Bring it back!!!!
-
C
CBS what are you thinking canceling God Friended Me. What a great show it is now was just a shame.
-
B
Great show. Sad to see it go.
-

Seriously I watched it from the beginning and you ended the way you did the whole show was to find who was responsible for the god account and you didn’t show who it was at the end very disappointed and mad
-
R
I loved the show. One of the best out there. Can't believe it was cancelled.
-
C
This show was my favorite. Well written with a complex plot. Very sad that it will not be back next year. Is it possible that another network would be will to continue the journey.
-
G
With all of the "junk" shows on television (some dumb, meaningless situation comedies) and endless, "police/FBI" shows on CBS, they cancel an unique show that got people to "think" after every week "God Friended Me" was on. How disappointing. I hope another network picks this show up. Have some vision, someone! I sense the actors/actresses on the show enjoyed their roles.
-
R
With all the Darkness in other shows this show really lit my days up. Such a nice concept and such brilliant execution. So many things which simply worked. Such an inspiring show.
I'm from India and I really wish there is a 3rd season. Such an uplifting show.
-
R
I really loved this show. With, all the darkness this bringed hope in my daily mundane life. I'm from India and this is my favourite show!
I honestly want season 3.
-
G
I Think in the end God was his mom. The little boy at the end says "she's waiting for you". I think it would've been fitting for it to be his mom. I Also think it's terrible for CBS to cancel this show. Loved every minute of it. Who know maybe Netflix will pick it up, or another network since that's what happens. Maybe They come back with a season 3 that is someone new since Mile's story arc was complete.
-
B
Loved this show, looked forward to it every Sunday night after church! Usually ended up making me cry. So encouraging and gave hope. Please bring it back!!!! Watched every show from the beginning ❤
-
C
Can you forward all these comments to CBS? I love this show and have recommended it to friends. None of us have ever been part of a survey. If they won't reconsider putting it on another night, perhaps Friday or Saturday could you send all these comments to other networks or recommend how we can appeal. It would have more effect coming from you but how do we try?
-
O
It really is unfortunate that a thought provoking series like this can't succeed in this TV culture. It provided a view into real life situations being met with faith, patience, kindness, concern and compassion. It highlighted the best qualities in caring people, qualities that seem to be missing in so much of what we are presented with at the present time. How sad to see it disappear from view. But it will be remembered with affection, gratitude and appreciation for the people in the television industry who desire to bring us something uplifting and adult instead of violence and the mindlessness of vacant sit coms and "reality" TV.
-
P
The fact that shows like "Real Housewives" go one for years and "God Friended Me" ended shows everything wrong with America.
-
R
Hurt so bad knowing I was watching the series finale last night! Absolutely my favorite show on television. I guess a show with diverse characters, fully clothed women, people embracing faith (Regardless of choice) and no violence, can’t find a place on CBS. Very disappointing! Me and my homeboys talked about our love for this show in our group text. And it’s funny because Magnum P.I., The Wire, are two of my all time favorite shows—violence and bikinis weekly. And I know The wire and Power (I didn’t watch Power) was watched by each individual in the group text.
God Friended me was so refreshing, so not the same old same.

Loved this show. Will miss it, we need some faith to believe. Look forward to Sunday.

So sorry that the show has been cancelled. We don’t have that many shows on tv that have a true meaning to them. Wish CBS would reconsider.

Ugh CBS sucks for not renewing this show! Netflix should pick it up so they can continue! God friended me still has so many fans!!

A biblical interpretation of "SHE's been waiting for you."
In the Old Testament wisdom [Sophia in Greek, Hokmah in Hebrew] is feminine, presented as an attribute of God or personified as God Herself [see Proverbs 8, Sirach 24, Wisdom of Solomon 6-8] Wisdom has a major role in creation and involvement in the world working with and through humans for order, justice, peace. She lives as our Friend and loves to work with humans as instruments of her peace

Please reconsider!! Such a great show!!

I may have missed it, but WHY was "God Friended Me" cancelled ?
-

I'm glad they got to wrap it up in a proper fashion. Who knows, maybe this is for the best and the series wouldn't be as fondly remembered had it been renewed.
-
G
Besides NCIS this was the favorite show of ours on CBS I can’t believe that they canceled it I thought it was great and it taught people how to work things out by thinking and good deeds which you don’t see much of these days if it wasn’t for NCIS now I wouldn’t watch CBS at all
-
G
Part of the problem for the show was the time slot. Because of the unpredictability of the sports events that preceded it, a viewer couldn't count on it being on. Wonderful show. Needed a consistent time slot.
-
K
I enjoy this show. But there was just a bit to much religion and bit to much in your nose religion in the last half of season 2, the first half was so much better. They needed to keep Joy around. An Joy and Rakesh had so much chemistry, it should have been those two that ended up together.
Disappointed that they were going to drag out Miles and Cara love story for a few more seasons. That was obvious from the last episode.

I never watch series television, but I must confess, I got hooked on the sappiness of God Friended Me. It was just one of those story-lines that provided a faith in mankind when so much division surrounds us. While I generally like comedy, I found G.F.M. a refreshing change from the sitcom lineup competing for shallow laughs. I do give kudos to the writers for cleverly closing with a cliffhanger that could provide a foot-in-the-door should CBS wake-up and realize that their decision to up the plug, may have been premature, in light of our nation’s changing desires for uplifting hope amidst so much gloom and doom that sitcoms (except for “Curb”) just can’t seem to rescue us from. If you’re listing CBS; you might want to take some of the money your saving from all the sports coverage cancellations and budget a 2-hour special of G.F.M for next season to see if a second chance might be in the ratings best interest. Who knows, maybe “She” is Pria Amar…

One of the (very) few shows I watched on CBS. I even went out of my way to keep up with it online as our greedy local affiliate fought with DishNetwork over fees. Aside from the Reality shows (Survivor, Race, BB) the only other shows worth watching are Bob loves A... and Young Sheldon. CBS is famous for ending shows early, without warning and without justification...it's like selling a book and leaving out the final chapter...there should be a law against it. Yes, hopefully another network picks this up after the crisis is over. Oh, and I feel (while realizing it is just a show and there is no actual answer as what's behind the God account) that the God account is an (the) AI (artificial intelligence) that became self aware (perhaps with God's help) and was co-opted by God. It is tied into the world security net and can see all, but God has to be involved to have known things like where the note was in the Bible... So, in other words I feel there is no 'person' behind the God account it is the self-aware AI and God.

While hitchhiking around the world back in the 1960's, 'accidentally' was led to One who gave me enough real miracle experiences to stop me -- and, to become the monk I wanted to be as a young child. You have no idea how many incidents that happened during this show reminded me of what I have been through during these past 50 years. Miracles are real. Our souls (waves of the Ocean that is God) are real. And of course, Divinity throughout our universe is real. Thank God for that.

But who was God tho thats what some of us really want to know what it one of his suggestions to see if he was the right choice or someone who he has never meet before
-
B
Who is the she that was waiting for miles on the mountain?
-
G
Who do you think it was?
-
K
Person who built the AI behind the god account. We can't speculate because we never met any female programmers capable of building it in the show.

I liked this show. I kept thinking somewhere down the line he would finally see it was God behind the God account. Only God would know about the problems people have. The only thing I didnt like was Ali being a lesbian and a preacher,her dad had no problem with it. It seems every show thinks it has to have a gay storyline. No one says its wrong. Just goes along with it. I dont like seeking it on tv.

I liked this show and was so glad to finally find a show about a atheist! How you do not have to be religious or believe in this fictional god to be a good person, which is of course true. But when I saw the direction this was going over the past few episodes I was sorely disappointed at the ignorance of the creators and writers. Plus it was so illogical! Not believing in a god is a rational and reason choice and Miles or that atheist writer in a previous episode would not just change their mind because something 'worked out' for them, that is ridiculous and insulting to all of us atheists. And that thing on Annapurna was also incredibly ridiculous! Obviously, none of you have ever been to the Himalayas or up there - you don't just walk up there on the snow, you need a guide, it is a multiweek trek and you'd definitely be wearing a hat! I guess I am glad it ended
