Hand of God

Hand of God is an American drama which focuses on a Corrupt Judge Pernell Harris (Ron Perlman) who has a psychotic breakdown after his son shoots himself in the head and leaving himself in a life threatening coma. Pernell was apparently "Reborn" and believes his son is talking to him while he is in a coma,  while his daughter in law is beginning to get ready to pull the plug on her husband as she believes there is no hope for him coming back as the doctors say that also, Pernell being very powerful pulls a lot of strings as he is in high standing to keep his son alive on the machines as he believes he will waken. If you like the idea of an insane show you can't keep track of then this is for you!





With a conman Preacher taking large sums of cash from the Judge he is feeding him ideas about his son and when god will talk to him next, this plays on his mind as he already has marital problems and an addiction to a "call girl". His status in the community is very high and people need him in his place to ensure a new housing project can be signed off so a lot of his wrong doings are ignored.

The Judge being "Born Again"

The reason his son shot himself was he was made to watch his wife get raped by a masked man and couldn't live with it, this was a targeted attack which the judge breaks the law on finding out who the rapist was, he believes his son will waken once the guilty man is dead or imprisoned. With Pernell's wife also being a mischievous lady with a cannabis addiction it all adds to the picture, she wants her son to be let go and unplugged but it must be Pernell's way or none at all, he has a constant battle with all family members and others in order to save his son, he has visions and hears his voice telling him what he must do next.

Furious Feud between Pernell and his stepdaughter.

He hires a convict as his servant as he is also a god worshiper and believes Pernell is sending him on "gods path", he hires him to kill people and anything required and he will do it as he believes he is doing right by god. Pernell even orders him to kill a local cop because he believes he was involved with the case.

With corruption happening regular and the threat of Pernell losing his judging positon because of a poor case call it creates an exciting watch for the viewer, the mysterious vibe from the show is one I haven't experienced before and this interested me a lot.

Seasons

The show has 1 season made so far it was a very exciting first season I must admit, the second season has been given a go ahead by Amazon as it is an amazon exclusive program. I was excited to know it was renewed as it ended on an very irritating thirst for more vibe. The main character was very well known this is what made me try the show and it was definitely worth the watching I must admit.

Thickening Plot

Con Artist Preacher with Pernell and his assistant

With Pernell having "public" shows of insanity it is damaging his credibility, he has visions and starts acting crazy and speaking "tongue" when in the company of others, this is making it difficult for Pernell's corrupt business partner the mayor of the town to get the permission all set up for the new project that will bring plenty of wealth and prospect to the town. It is an alcohol, drug fuelled, call girl filled series that makes you believe this is what goes on in high government levels especially in America. The local town is corruptly run by the major players in high places and they bargain with each other over various things that they require at high end weekends away. The preacher is an ex drug abuser and has relapsed and has to control his urges while hiding this from his assistant/girlfriend as they are trying to con as much money out of people as they can, Pernell is gullible to his ways and falls to his every trick causing havoc for his wife and others.

Hand of God main cast

I would highly recommend trying the show as it was different from anything I have ever  watched before, I will definitely be tuning in for season 2.
