Review of Insight

Insight (I) (1960–1984)
9/10
An Orthodox Jew's view on Insight
8 July 2009
I always enjoyed watching this show on Sunday mornings before my parents got up, and I had to get ready for Hebrew School. Yup, that's right, Hebrew School. You see, I'm an observant Jew, and yet I thoroughly enjoyed watching Insight. True, not all the Christological messages resonated with me, but even as a kid I was savvy enough to ignore them (pretty much ignored the priest at the end, too, who kind of gave me an unsettling feeling because it really yelled "This is a Christian Show!" at me). But the universal messages (caring for your fellow man, honesty, morality, etc.) were really great. As were the actors. I said to myself, "Hey, these guys are big name stars. If they want to appear on this low-budget show, it must really speak to them." But they never reined in their acting chops.

If this show was intended to evangelize, well, then I guess it didn't work on me ;-) But aside from that score, great job, guys!
