Honestly, I'm not a huge Ron Howard fan. That's not to say he doesn't do good work, I'm just not usually into Mr Howard's Christian toned stories, as I'm not a religious man. However, I advocate the positive messages and support what he does. The show brings me to tears often and often I find myself hiding them from my wife, as we watch it together. It is well written, well directed and well produced. I have tried to find something... ANYTHING to identify as a flaw. I can't find anything. No inconsistencies in editing or loopholes in the story... Nothing! It's probably the 1st time I've ever rated a show 10 stars on imdb.
I'm what you would consider, a heathen full of masculinity. A man's man, who never shows tears and moves forward when injured, prepared to defend the honor and lives of my family with my very own life of necessary and honored to do so if I must. Guys like me simply don't watch shows like this yet, here I am writing the most honest review I can, for a show I watch every week. And while I'm sure to be struck by lightning twice, before Mr Howard ever reads this, I want to reinforce that God does work in mysterious ways. Even when I've fallen away from the church, God's message stays with me and a little piece of it was sent by Mr Howard.
