God's Favorite Idiot (TV Series) The Four Horsemen (2022) User Reviews

Misrepresentation of the horsemen once again smh...

[Wikkid_Gamez · 5/10 · 26 June 2022]

I find it annoying that not only is the first horseman almost always replaced in cinema with both versions of the third horseman but that the third and forth are almost always swapped on which color of horse they ride (death always ends up on the black horse in movies etc). I wish that for once someone would do some actual research, especially when its not hard to find the information at all...

The first was a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer... Commonly understood to be Conquest or Victory depending on the bible translation.

The second was a red horse, and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from Earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him... Commonly understood to be War

The third was a black horse; and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand... Commonly understood to be Famine, in some translations as pestilence as the 2 are often intertwined.

The fourth was a pale horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him... The only horseman to be outright named.

Other than my personal pet peeve as someone who has been fascinated by the Horsemen and Revelations in general since childhood, I have found this show fun and amusing. Most of it is open to interpretation with the exception of the horsemen which are actually taken from scripture yet always misrepresented.

huh>...

Four men on horses, i.e., 'the Four Horsemen', walk on a scenic beach with the sun rising at the start of episode 7 of God's Favorite Idiot. They're coming for Clark and bring with them a signal that the war is getting serious up there.

Meanwhile, the group is at work and no points for guessing, they're not working - again. They do everything there except work. Tom and Amily's small play, based on some fictional folklore, plays in the background. Clark gets a phone call from his father, still in the hospital. Although he is recovering =, Gene requests Clark for something: the clincher chicken made from his mother's recipe. The filial son is foremost in saying that he will make it. Tom is still buoyant from the last episode where is tear brought Gene back from the coma. His happiness, though, cannot explain the reason behind why he was able to do it. To get an explanation, he goes to the bathroom, again, and spots Mohsin sitting in one of the stalls. After seating himself in the stall next to his, Tom begins his questioning. Despite the "compromising" position and being flustered, Mohsin comes up with a beautiful answer. He says that because Tom was pure and honest at that moment, and that he had a purpose, he was able to do it. It wouldn't have truly wanted Gene to come back from the coma, it wouldn't have happened. Satisfied with the answer, he vanishes, but not before peeking into another occupied stall like a creep. Episode seven of 'God's Favorite Idiot' is a marginal improvement over the previous episode. In some respects only. Overall, the energy is much more positive and streamlined. The story too moves forward as the battle between Lucifer and God comes to its Twilight. But there is tension in the air as Satan is not letting up on killing the group of co-workers. Her resolve is so strong that she is prepared to be among mortals to fulfill her goal. I keep trying to pick up the good instances from the pack but can't find anything to write about. Being a sitcom, this episode also features a more decent level of humor compared to the series gone by. That was until the focus was again on the Wendy-Tom dynamic. At that juncture, it fell again to the low standard Falcone has set to make us laugh. One thing that I do not understand is why make all the characters so cartoonish? To extract humor? Well, if that is the intention, this has been a grand failure. Even when one looks at it from an absurdist comedy lens, the scenes are just too bad to have any sort of connection. Now with just the finale left, thankfully, this journey is coming to an end.
