That's because 'The Bible' premiered Sunday evening, and perhaps you were like this Christian TV Examiner, riveted to her TV, watching the DVR'd episode titled "Beginnings," wherein Noah endured God's wrath as he quoted Genesis, all whilst living out Genesis in the huge ark, as the Mark Burnett/Roma Downey-created and Diogo Morgado-acted first episode dramatically portrayed God's creation of the Earth.
"And on the 7th day, He rested," Noah said, as a scene of sunny calm came over the raging land, wherein people drowned.

…so it's not necessarily for young kids, as my husband and I discovered when our kids balked at watching the amazing series (after all, a new episode of "Austin and Ally" was on) but I let them go in the other room when there was a violent scene of a man getting struck in the head by a rock.
But I'm glad this wonderful series is showing the truth and not shying away from real life happenings, which can be bloody and messy and evil at time.
The next episode titled "Homeland" premieres March 10, 2013, and will display Joshua conquering Jericho, Delilah betraying Samson, Samuel anointing David king, Saul being consumed with jealousy after David defeats Goliath, as well as King David ushering in the golden age for Israel, and his Solomon building God's temple in Jerusalem.
With giant locusts swarming Egypt and Israel being put on high alert prior to Passover, one can't help but feel this miniseries is trying to serve as God's warning that He's up to something.
