As most of y'all know, I grew up in a very religious family, and spent time on staff at a Christian organization that focuses a lot on the End Times. Because of that background, I caught a lot of references and stuff from the Bible, and also got annoyed by the, uh, contradictions. I'm not one of those Christians who signed a petition calling for Netflix to stop making it (the levels of ignorance!), because I know the difference between trying to tell a biblical story and taking a biblical story and trying a new angle/making a new ending because it's an interesting concept.
In short, I quite enjoyed it, regardless of any theological issues I may have with it. I'm not sure it has material for a second season, but then again, I don't know the books or anything.

For instance, I would've liked to see more from the satanic nuns, or from the four horsemen and the bikers who tagged along for the ride.
