Reviews for Under the Banner of Heaven

This is a pretty decent slow burn crime, mystery, thriller. The slow burn leaves just enough questions to keep u drawn and interested enough to come back every week and the actual plot about the LDS fundamentalist Mormons were just in general an interesting plot. The finale however was Amazing I

"All the Heaven talk, man, it just got so fucking crazy." the good book tells us that andrew russell garfield is the one true prophet and thou deservest to be cleansed by fire if thou dost not beLIEve it in thine heart.

andrew garfield and daisy edgar jones i love you

The first two episodes are incredible! I was looking forward to this show a lot and it was worth the wait :)

all white men look the same it got progressively harder to keep track of who was who specially with the beards

Watched two FX shows back to back & I'm overwhelmed with quality. Thanks @thefilmslayer for the recommendation. It's not just any random murder mystery but an actual character-driven, religious drama with a fantastic dark tone & the flashbacks worked perfectly which I don't like tbh. Btw, Andr
...

An enjoyable and well made miniseries, but I feel like the ending wasn’t as rewarding as I would’ve liked. I expected Jeb to fully come to terms with his loss of faith and at least begin the conversation with his family, but it kind of seemed like it was glossed over. I did like the ending scene wit
...

might’ve helped if i knew one single thing about mormonism. love to women and girls who have ever been even peripherally associated with it though.

All because they didn’t wanna pay tax


This is a really great slow burn crime thriller. I thought it was perfectly paced and the performances from the stacked cast are all fantastic, although it should come as no surprise that it's Andrew Garfield who steals the show with one of his best performances so far. The only real drawbacks I hav
...

It’s almost embarrassing how many great performances there were in this Asks a lot of tough questions about faith and the lengths you go to protect an institution over the mission

I love that stuff, you know, with the religious trauma

Under the Banner of Heaven is easily one of the greatest detective thrillers ever put to screen. An absolute masterpiece of television is every way possible. Andrew Garfield is utterly electric as Detective Jeb Pyre, a man fighting between his faith and his duty as a cop. His partner Gil Birmingha

Watched on Disney + from January 21st until January 27th Even if Netflix is undoubtedly the top dog in the true crime sector, there are also interesting titles on the other streaming services that tell stories of real crimes. One of these is "Under The Banner Of Heaven", which was already released

“it’s frightening. being alone with your own mind.“ been wanting to sit down and watch this for a while, and i’m glad i finally did. as a non-religious person myself, i’m sure i had a different experience with this than somebody who is. however, i still enjoyed the complexity of faith and the major

Okay think it’s time the Academy grew up and gave Andrew he’s Oscar. This is a solid piece of television consisting of a very talented cast who all offer phenomenal and definitely what I think will be rememberable performances. A violent gut punching ride from episode to episode. Each one felt like

This show was amazing. This is honestly probably one of the best true crime miniseries out there that I’ve seen. Each episode is jam packed with so much stuff, that the runtime feels double the length that it is. I think that it’s a good thing. They do a great job unraveling the whole story. And it

There’s something about a slow burn crime drama mystery series that I just love. What a great limited series. It’s a interesting take using Mormon as the main characters. Something new to the ever expanding crime dramas that are out there. It won’t be for all as it is very slow but it is so so worth
...

I liked how this show really shed some light on how people abuse religion and justify their mistakes or wrong-doings by saying God or the Holy Spirit was the one who told them to do it. It’s not the fact that religion itself is corrupt it is the people who are in it that are corrupt. There were so m
...

The dent I made in the couch from bingeing this today is enough to show just how easily you’ll get drawn into such an interesting yet unfortunate story - you literally couldn’t pull me away for more than 7 minutes — I absolutely love Andrew Garfield in this and my guy twilight Jacob’s dads!?!?! A du
...

andrew garfield was so so excellent but all of the reenactments were super annoying and weird

Under the banner of heaven es uno de los policiacos más destacables en la televisión moderna. Un thriller de investigación sobre el asesinato de una esposa e hija, las dos ligadas a una familia mormona que bueno… se les soltaron bastante los tornillos, el encargado en investigar esto es el detectiv
