Sur ordre de Dieu

What an amazing show. Whilst I agree with all the other reviews stating Andrew Garfield being superb you can't forget the rest of the cast, they are all fantastic and make this show a definite must see. It is infuriating at times that there are actually people out there like this but that makes it even more gripping and keeps you hooked. If you're a fan of crime dramas/thrillers and/or love shows that you can binge in a few days and not worry about if they're going to drag as many seasons as possible out of it then this is for you. Well worth 7 hours of your time. Know some reviews have said it's a slow burner (I disagree)

The series is very good. I read the very good book years ago and this adaptation is worth watching. Not sure I understand the reviews that say it's boring. Certainly not. It's actually quite absorbing.

Never seen anything that's so religious like Mormons and LDS. It kept me interested with Andrew's typical amazing acting and the mystery surrounding Daisy's character Brenda. And I also like the intriguing atmosphere. The entire story kinda feels like it's revolving around something small but it keeps getting more intense. There wasn't any major twists but the execution of the story, direction, visuals, music and cinematography deserves huge praise. I think people who are into religious stuffs will appreciate this even more. Anyways, this is a well-made show. And Andrew got an Emmy nomination!! Well deserved! 7.5/10.

Under the Banner of Heaven was a very well made series. As most people here have already pointed out Andrew Garfield is absolutely brilliant here. He's such a good actor in just about everything he's ever down and has been nominated for major awards throughout his career but he definitely deserved the Emmy nomination he got for his role in this. Garfield isn't the only one to shine in this though, almost the entire cast is terrific and is the reason why this show is so highly rated. Sam Worthington, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Wyatt Russell, Billy Howe and Gil Birmingham all deserving of recognition for their job in this. The writing and acting for this show is fantastic and I binged through the entire season in just a few days.

I just finished watching Under the Banner of Heaven and have to say that it was so much better than I expected. This series has been nominated for tons of awards and deservingly so, especially Andrew Garfield. This show is worth watching for Garfield's performance alone. He leads a star studded cast who all do an outstanding job. It's based off a true story as detective Jeb Prye (Garfield) investigates the murder of Brenda Wright Lafferty (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and her baby girl in Salt Lake City, Utah. He uncovers buried truths about the Mormon religion and the violent consequences to keep those secrets. What he uncovers shakes his own faith. It's definitely a tough watch but a must watch for any true crime fans.
