Like the review – and totally agree! I’m really enjoying the series, and nice to see some “real” religion on TV for once.

I think there’s a lot to be said for the show, Rev Smallbone is a well crafted character full of nuance and complexity… so why are so many of the other characters just crude caricatures? The evangelical vicar seemed to be just a way of giving liberals a cheer by very badly distorting the average evangelical vicar who I think on the whole would be more likely to welcome in Colin than the average in my opinion.. Could the BBC ever show evangelicals in a positive light… or are they always to be arrogant priests, serial killers on Eastenders or beaten up as gay hating so n so’s on BBC panel shows etc..?

That said, is good to see Ben Willbond getting out and about in tv, he’s fantastic in Horrible Histories!

Thanks everybody. Good old Adam’s certainly got a lot of us talking to each other!

Good assessment, Simon.

I can’t think of a comedy I’ve been so impressed by right out of the blocks.

I particularity enjoyed lost soul/loyal Church going drunk Colin’s review of Dawkins’ “God Delusion” in Episode 1!

Nice review, especially the observation about Adam’s name, thanks. I’m loving the series and am teasing my archdeacon that he should take notes.

This was the first episode of ‘Rev’ I’d watched, and I thought it was really well done. I too especially liked the bit at the end where the emphasis was on not turning people away and God loving those that many find ‘unloveable’.

I’m loving your Writing on the Wall … thanks for that, too

[...] I have no time to wax lyrical, and anyway Fr Simon has already given it the best review in town from the point of view of a viewer who really is a Vicar: …I find myself thanking God [...]
