Maybe they're pitching it that way deliberately
Hopefully - Touched By An Angel ran for, like, 905349534 years.
I'm not big on liking religion. That would be my own concern.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

From the description, if it were anyone but Tim writing it, I wouldn't even consider watching it. It sounds more like Touched by an Angel than Wonderfalls.

You know, if Little Old Lady God shows up from Joan of Arcadia, Tim will probably kill her. This is not entirely a bad thing....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
No killing Mrs. Landingham! Honestly, you bloodthirsty people.

No killing Mrs. Landingham!
That's so been done.

The description does sound a bit hokey, but I have no doubt there will be darkness and pain and more than a little bloodletting.
Now if you can get Ron Glass for the title role...

And separately, you can bet there will be criticism. Because it's about religion, to start. But also because it's Tim, and will therefore likely be real and dark and heartwrenching, and of course, we cannot have those things in religion. You know, despite that fact that Christianity is, in fact, bloody with the dark and heartwrenching.
