Matthew Lickona reviews The Book of Daniel, over at Godspy

That’s where I stumbled. Who needs redemption in the world of this show? There’s plenty of unhappiness and stress and even some crime, but who needs anything more than good advice and a little love and support? And who needs to be Christian for that? There are less demanding places to look for affirmation—viz. the adulterous fornicating senior bishops above. Unless, of course, adultery really is a sin, and sin really does violate the order of love, and such violations really do carry consequences in the here and now (to say nothing of the afterlife). Quaint notions, but Daniel does wear a priest’s collar and dress in funny robes on Sunday.

BTW…show came in third again in its timeslot on Friday. It originally got an 8-episode order. Methinks that might be all of it..
