WHAT IT'S ABOUT: God (Steve Buscemi) runs Earth from his aerie in the corporate offices of Heaven Inc., a sprawling corporation in (well) heaven that employs thousands of angel workers who run various departments that have direct bearing on every facet of reality on Earth, from the making of clouds or snowflakes to the control of human affairs. In one office, the department of unanswered prayers, Craig (Daniel Radcliffe) _ who is overwhelmed by the volume of requests _ gets help from Eliza (Geraldine Viswanathan).
Meanwhile, God has decided to obliterate Earth so that he can begin work on his next big project (a chain of restaurants). Horrified, Craig and Eliza beg him to spare the Earth. God makes a bet with them: If they can make two people down here, Laura (Sasha Compere) and Sam (Jon Bass) fall in love, then he'll spare the planet.
This Lorne Michaels-produced, seven-episode series is based on Simon Rich's (FX's "Man Seeking Woman") comic novel, "What in God's Name."
