Premise

[edit]

In the first season, Craig is a low-level angel responsible for handling all of humanity's prayers, and Eliza is a recent transfer from the Department of Dirt. Their boss, God, has checked out to focus on his favorite hobbies. To prevent Earth's destruction, Craig and Eliza must achieve their most impossible miracle to date.[2] The season is based on Rich's novel What in God's Name.

The second season is set during the Dark Ages and is based on Rich's short story "Revolution".

In the third season, Reverend Ezekiel Brown leads his dying, famine-stricken town for a better life on the Oregon Trail, taking in notorious outlaw Benny the Teen as trail master.

In the fourth season, taking place in a postnuclear apocalyptic world, Road Warrior Sid and Warlord Freya Exaltada, along with their War Dog Scraps, leave behind the ravaging Wasteland for a more normal life in Boomtown.
