Shows that feel likeThe Bible (2013)

The story of God's creation of the Earth and the landmark events leading up to the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

If you loved The Bible, the closest series we have are Unorthodox (2020), Reign (2013) and Ray Donovan (2013). All three share The Bible's contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Grand Army (2020).
