Yay, Tim! Breathe that new network smell.
Wash: Mal, your dead army buddy's on the bridge! Zoe: He ain't dead. Wash: Oh.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

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.
with a touch of "Saving Grace"

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.

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.

This was one thing I was just a bit worried about as I read the description. Those Focus on the Family types are probably going to have something to say (whether they actually bother to watch the show or not before forming an opinion).

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Congrats, Tim. I am so very happy that this will be on ABC. Yay!
