This might have worked had John Safran been remotely talented as a personality or comedian...but just being a novelty of an unknown white/jewish rapper doesn't really make for witty rapport with guests.
A Jewish boy from Australia with a sharp attitude gives many surprising twists as he savors the smorgasbord of religious diversity available to the curious and the committed. John Safran has been spoiling to debunk just about every sacred cow in religion throughout this series.
Having just seen the final episode of 'John Safran Vs. God', I'm pleased to conclude that this series is as equally entertaining as his previous show, 2002's 'Music Jamboree' (despite being two episodes shorter).
Having seen all of the episodes on TV I can say that they have been very interesting to watch. Some episodes in the middle sort of fall over themselves as he tries to stretch out weak jokes.
NOTE: only one episode discussed here.Writer, co-producer and host John Safran goes on a worldwide expedition to find God in various religions.
After seeing "Music Jamboree', I laughed my arse off when I first heard about 'John Safran vs. God'.
Watching the complete series of John Safran vs. God was the first time I got in contact with this peculiar Aussie.
