I Cover Religion. Even I Was Shocked by the New Fox Show About Women and the Bible.

Make a movie about Judith, you cowards

We’re Gemstonesmaxxing. Unironic Teenjus is only a matter of time.

I saw the commercials for this special and boy, this felt like Right-Wing Propaganda.

I really want to see SNL do a “David part 2” parody where he goes mad with power and does all that murder and adultery.

I tuned in for what I thought was going to be American Dad and saw this horseshit.

It’s funny that they all speak with British accents.

Is that mini driver?

You know, a Bible drama about Sarai/Sarah that actually shows all the fucked stuff could be fascinating. Because it’s a fucked up story, and my own Torah study had lead me to believe the point is for us to be made uncomfortable by it so we interrogate our own sense of morality.

That’s what you get with $2 million and an 8 ball

“I ain’t asking for the world here. I’m just asking for a 8 ball and 2 million dollars. That’s it.” - Baby Billy

"The issue with girl-power Sarah is that the show pretends to be something it isn’t, with Driver’s pluckiness as a kind of mask for its actual tradwife spirit. Cool, a viewer might think, a woman is the main character! She’s strong-willed and courageous, and she stands up to powerful men!—without noticing that her only motivation, the whole time, is to have children and to please her husband" At least the article is witty and calls out the hypocrisy 😅😵‍💫😬

Getting tired of this rise of christian propaganda

[deleted]

The increase in religious media seems darkly intentional considering the Heritage Foundations goals of Project 2025. They want women to accept their place under Christian doctrine. It does not surprise me at all that Fox is presenting this propaganda.

There's something deeply weird about Minnie Driver in a period piece.

Is that Minnie Driver?? Kinda wild considering her character on Emily In Paris. Edit - Just to be clear I 1) Understand that actors take roles of all kinds & 2) I wasn’t necessarily intending on bringing religion into the conversation. All I was saying is it was jarring to see Driver go from playing a vapid rich b**** alcoholic on Emily In Paris to seeing her in something like this. Costume and all.

Yeah Fox is now all about biblical stories to continue to deceive its idiotic viewers. Well, at least they have 5-6 cancelled actors they can use. Moses as you have never seen him before, using lasers to bring the rain and then the same lasers to bring da funk! Starting Zachary Levi as Moses, Rob Schneider as his “slow” son, Gina Carano as Mrs Moses and Roseanne Barr as the nosy neighbor, who somehow stops by to bring the laughter. Watch on Fox! Music by Kid Rock and Jelly Belly.

Religion.....pretending to be something it isn't. So business as usual.

“Setting aside Driver’s distractingly age-suspended face” I mean she’s not wrong lol. Basically the whole show is propoganda, and we will be continuing to be blasted with this type of bullshit because of the powers that be. Ew.

It’s Fox. How can anyone be shocked by anything they do at this point?

Religion is bullshit.

Is Slate really out here posting AI assisted articles?

“Putting Driver’s oddly ageless face aside, she’s not wrong, lol. Honestly, the whole show is basically propaganda, and we’re going to keep getting hit with this kind of nonsense thanks to whoever’s pulling the strings. Gross.”

We’re in a Bible-curious time for popular media. In the past year, star-studded animated movies about Jesus and the patriarch David each made more than $80 million in theatrical runs, proving biblical films can be powerful contenders at the box office. On streaming services, there have recently been a number of Scripture-based shows, including the Exodus comedy *The Promised Land*; Amazon’s sword-and-sandals fantasy series *House of David*; a coming *Joseph of Egypt* drama; and, most importantly, the mega-hit New Testament drama *The Chosen*, which proved to studios that there was a rabid market for faith-based content in the first place.   It seems that everyone is suddenly waking up to the potential for this particularly well-known material. And in the scramble to put its own contribution forward, Fox, with its new series on the biblical matriarchs, is testing out whether, beyond big-budget movie epics and narrowly targeted streaming shows, biblical stories might draw these viewers to traditional television. *The Faithful*, a three-week “event series” tied to Easter and debuting Sunday in a prime-time s*** (and streaming the next day on Hulu), hopes to excite audiences with the promise of religious storytelling with a fresh angle and a big name: Its first two episodes, about Abraham’s wife and her handmaid, star Minnie Driver as Sarah.  It attempts to turn Old Testament women into spunky girlbosses. But that’s not its only sin, writes Molly Olmstead  [https://slate.com/life/2026/03/bible-women-the-faithful-old-testament-fox-hulu.html?utm\_source=reddit&utm\_medium=social&utm\_content=molly\_faithful&utm\_campaign=&tpcc=reddit-social--molly\_faithful](https://slate.com/life/2026/03/bible-women-the-faithful-old-testament-fox-hulu.html?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_content=molly_faithful&utm_campaign=&tpcc=reddit-social--molly_faithful)

We live in the cringest of times.

They’ve got Michael Westen out here playing Abraham? That’s certainly a choice… *Edit: Spelling

It’s no teenjus

Okay, everyone, we all gotta go watch Good Will Hunting this week so Minnie Driver can get a decent residuals check, and not have to do this sort of shite. (Unless this sort of shite aligns with her wold view in which case go watch the trailer for Good Will Hunting 2: Hunting Season.) Seriously, Minnie. What the ever-lovin' f***?

Will the anti-feminist nuance beneath the surface be perceived by the typical viewer?

The year is 2026 and we still talk about a metaphorical history book.

Cool. When are we finally getting Teenjus?

most of the women being played by white actresses is sure interesting

It took way too long for the article to acknowledge that this show is propaganda.

Sarah is an interesting choice for a feminist Bible show. I would have chosen Deborah, Esther, Jael, or Rehab.

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw more religious shows with the current admin being what it is. I'm not saying there can't be shows for religious people, but I thought that was just Hallmark straight to tv movies tbh \*(okay joking). But I definitely will not be on board with these very outwardly religious shows, count me out forever.

American Calvinism and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race, change my mind.

If the theme was Marvel instead of the bible there’d be so many calls to boycott this woke garbage trying to force feed us a strong woman story
