Is any one watching this adaptation of Clarke's classic book?

I have found it intelligent and well done over the last two episodes (last episode tonight).

One of the things about it is it has taken on a definitely atheistic pov. It shows religion to be irrelevant and useless.

spoilers...






The aliens, by bringing peace and prosperity to everyone on earth shows how indifferent (or more likely nonexistent) the Gods have been.

Of course there is more to the story, but this aspect was interesting.

1. That seems to be the most likely quality of the gods humans worship...

Indifferent or nonexistent.

Everything else is just wishful thinking.

2. Didn't even know this was up. I was just watching The Expanse.

Thanks for the head's up!

CE is a three part mini. Sure they will repeat it or on demand.
