Description: This show stars Brandon Micheal Hall in a humorous, uplifting drama about Miles Finer, an outspoken atheist whose life is turned upside down when he receives a friend request on social media from God and unwittingly becomes an agent of change in the lives and destinies of others around him. After repeated pokes by God, Miles’ curiosity takes over, and he accepts the ultimate friend request and follows the signs to Cara Bloom, an online journalist. Brought together by the “God Account,” the two find themselves investigating God’s friend suggestions and inadvertently helping others in need. Miles is set on getting to the bottom of what he believes is an elaborate hoax, but in the meantime he’ll play along and, in the process, change his life forever. CBS.com

Season End Status: The same day ratings for this show were not great during its first season, but it regularly ranked in the Top 25 based on total viewers each week (which is more important to older-skewing CBS) and it fits in well with its network’s brand. If it continues with similar viewer stats when it returns for its second season, it could stick around for a third year.
