I love this series. I'm in the middle of Season 3, and it's absolutely superb.
Some of my favorite sequences: when Jesus calls Matthew; when Jesus speaks with the Samaritan woman at the well; when Jesus heals the demoniac; when Jesus interacts with His disciples; the miraculous catch of fish.
It's a really superb series in that it gives a whole, new, fresh look at the Gospels and offers insights that you never considered before. One thing that also strikes me is how the Romans are presented....in this series, the Romans are pretty much viewed by the Jews in the same way that the French viewed the Germans in World War II: as brutal, arrogant, oppressive, parasitic occupiers.

Matthew is great in that series, and many of us can identify as people who went-astray, turned their back on God, or who fell out with their friends and family, only to find God later.
