Tough one to review
This is difficult, because the acting in this is really superlative - there are no weak players. All the performances are moving and powerful, and it did make me cry more than once.
But unfortunately, everything else is rather bad. The story is way too melodramatic and Mexican soap-opera-like, and it's way too preachy with it's themes - I mean, it literally has God telling people how to love each other. The first season showed - season 2 was all tell.
The technical aspects of this were even worse than season 1, with the dialog drowned out by music, roosters and other livestock, or just so faint it couldn't be heard, and whenever anyone was shouting, which was 90% of the time, the sound was badly distorted. All the scenes are too long and repetitive.
There's nothing notable or special about the music, and it got in the way, which is not good. As for rewatch value, I can't imagine ever watching this again, although I will definitely be all over God's instagram.
The suggested overall rating was 4.5, but I have to give it a 7 for the acting. This was really a missed opportunity, wasting the talents of perhaps the strongest cast ever assembled for a BL.
