Here is the description about it

Chip Curry is a modern day man at a crossroads in his life, who decides to live strictly in accordance with the Bible. A film critic for a New York Newspaper and a soon-to-be father, Chip wants to be a better man following the loss of his best friend. He decides to put his slightly obsessive temperament to use and start living his life 100% by the Bible to find direction. His smart, pregnant wife, Leslie, while both skeptical and entertained by her husband’s new passion, supports him completely. Knowing he’ll need some practical advice, Chip forms a “God Squad” with Father Gene, a Catholic Priest who helps Chip translate the rules of the Bible to a modern world; and Father Gene’s best friend, easygoing Rabbi Gil Ableman, who respects Chip’s chutzpah and is glad to serve as a sounding board when they meet at their local bar. At Chip’s newspaper, he finds support from his no-nonsense boss, Ms. Meadows, who knows Chip’s self-penned story will sell newspapers, and his co-worker and friend, Vince, who is quick with a reality check and likes to wind Chip up for his own amusement. As he begins his sincere spiritual journey toward a more moral life with the help of his wife and friends, Chip wonders if he’ll be able to take a page – or every page – out of the Good Book, and if the effect will be of Biblical proportions.

I watched the trailer. That first impression was that it seemed like the kind of show that mainly serves to isolate and mock certain things in the bible with slapstick and other fairly feeble attempts at comedy. I wouldn't expect anything approaching real depth, understanding or edification. Just more garbage television that is not only a waste of time but possible insurance against any kind of humility also.

I expect the lead character to seem silly and fanatical while all around him are level-headed and realistic atheists. Some of them will expose his beliefs as nonsense while others of them will be shown to REALLY, REALLY be people who lead the loving, caring, lives (no thanks to the Bible or any church) that he talks about or has only recently gotten interested in.

I also expect it to be a short-lived series.
