After losing his best friend and learning that his wife is pregnant, film critic Chip Curry embarks on a spiritual journey to start living a better, more moral life. While searching for answers, he turns to the Bible and comes to the decision to try living in accordance with its pages. When he quickly discovers that it may be harder to achieve in today's world than he initially believed, he and his wife assemble a "God Squad" to help him out along the way.
Living Biblically — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Living Biblically commits the cardinal TV sin of wasting the outline of an refreshingly unusual premise on broad, hammy acting and stock sitcom laughs.

Living Biblically replaces Jacobs' playfully twisted tone with expired gags about the Jonas Bothers, Twilight, and Blockbuster Video. Like a lot of latter-day network sitcoms, Biblically overstretches its premise with too-familiar settings. Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 02/26/2018
Fails to follow the sitcom commandment, "Thou shall make us laugh." Go to Full Review Chris Barton Los Angeles Times 02/26/2018
The show's failures are a shame because religion is a powerful enough presence in our culture to be approached with honesty and genuine wit. Go to Full Review John Hanlon John Hanlon Reviews 11/20/2018
2.0/4
For a show that strives to be unique, this comedy still seems very safe. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 04/04/2018
Go read Jacobs' book instead. You'll get a lot more laughs and have a better view of what it's like to live a biblical life. Go to Full Review Megan Basham WORLD 03/05/2018
Given the open-minded, constructive start the show has already made, it's not unreasonable to hope it could continue onto some firmer (and hopefully a little funnier) ground. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 13 13 funny episodes!!!!!!! Rated TV-PG for Infrequent Coarse Language (L)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 09/16/2018 Funny! Couldn’t stop laughing. Loved the characters and the message. Family friendly and refreshing. Well done. See more 08/27/2018 Binged watch the entire show one day whilst in a somber mood and honestly found the series engaging, uplifting and simplistically funny :) Whilst I’m very aware this isn’t the comedy show of the century, in some cases the awkward jokes that fell flat or the odd plot aided the show in becoming a show I’d definitely re watch on days I want to watch a stupid comedy show to raise my spirits. It’s a show where I don’t have to know everything to get it the joke and that even if its not ‘comedy genius’ even it’s purely unfunny moments, were so unfunny that they themselves became ‘funny’ :) See more 07/21/2018 could have been better See more 05/09/2018 Haven't laughed this much in a long time. Topics covered were relatable to anyone that has tried to apply the Bible to his/her life. Sad it was taken off the air, but not surprised. Most TV execs are only interested in pushing progressive shows. See more 04/10/2018 I think it's well written and funny. Sadly... It won't make it to another season... See more Read all reviews
