1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn8tv2YRfR0 main theme]] of the miniseries, composed by Music/HansZimmer.
2* BrokenBase: It is about Literature/TheBible after all. Three examples of points of contention surrounding this are the RaceLift[='s=], the difference between the Bible's depiction of events [[ArtisticLicenseHistory and the show's]] and [[HeWhoMustNotBeSeen whether it's acceptable to portray prophets as they are sacred]].
3* CriticalDissonance: The series was [[http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2013/mar/23/bible-surprise-hit-us-tv a surprise hit]] for Creator/TheHistoryChannel in terms of viewership, pulling in record numbers in the United States, but critics [[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/historys-bible-what-critics-are-425767 mostly slammed it.]]
4* ItsShortSoItSucks: General consensus is the Bible was just too big for a miniseries, even at 13 parts.
5* MemeticMutation: The Website/{{Twitter}} hashtag [=#HotJesus.=]
6* {{Narm}}:
7** The angels escorting Lot's family being depicted as armored warriors who mow down attackers with DualWielding in slow-motion (even though in the previous scene they blinded the attackers just as in the Bible itself).
8** The Pharaoh and other characters being such {{Large Ham}}s, especially compared to other portrayals through the years.
9** While he's gouging out Zedekiah's eyes, Nebuchadnezzar's satisfied gasp and expression resemble a constipated man who's finally relieving himself.
