September is here, and with it comes the new fall television lineup. The runaway success of shows like 'The Bible' and 'A.D' means that this season's new shows continue to try to tap into Biblical stories and themes. While some of these series aim to delight Christian audiences with epic, big-budget Bible stories designed to fit the small-screen, other new shows will surely drive Christian audiences away with their shocking take on both ancient and modern morality. BREATHEcast ranks some of this year's new television shows from inspiring (THE GOOD), mildly offensive (THE BAD) and downright sacrilegious (THE UGLY).

The Good

'Of Kings and Prophets': Aiming to capitalize off of the immense popularity of shows such as 'The Bible' and 'A.D.', 'Of Kings and Prophets' is a fictionalized version of the books of I and II Samuel that will air during primetime on ABC. Starring Ray Winstone as Saul, Oliver Rix as David, and Maisie Richardson-Sellers as Michal, the series will shift perspectives and tell the story of David's rise to power through the eyes of David himself, Saul, and the prophet Samuel. Written by Adam Cooper and Bill Collage (the writers behind 2015's 'Exodus: Gods and Kings'), the storytelling is likely to have a brooding, melancholic overtone and perhaps more than a few liberties taken with the Biblical texts.

This will not be the first television show to take on the story of David; the compelling plot was adapted in a modern retelling in a show called, simply, 'Kings', which aired in 2009 on NBC. That retelling failed to find an audience and was cancelled after one season. However, with a cast made up of a mixture of seriously talented up-and-comers and television veterans, perhaps this series will fare better in finding viewers.

'Coat of Many Colors': This prime-time special will air on NBC and tell the true story of Dolly Parton's upbringing. Set against the Tennessee Smoky Mountains, 'Coat of Many Colors' is a fresh look at the obstacles that the Partons faced with a special focus on faith that ultimately helped define Dolly and the rest of her family. Written by Pamela K. Long ('Christy') and co-executive produced by Dolly Parton herself, 'Coat of Many Colors' will aim to inspire families with its story of faith and love conquering all.

The Bad

'You, Me, and the End of the World': Reminiscent of the Steve Carell flick, 'Seeking a Friend for the End of the World', this wacky comedy will feature an array of characters and their reactions to an asteroid on its way to surely destroy earth. While Christian audiences may welcome the return of Rob Lowe (30 Rock) and Jenna Fischer ('The Office') to their screens, they may not be so thrilled about the subject material. Rob Lowe stars as a rebellious priest that's not exactly prayerful about the oncoming apocalypse. This comedy will air on NBC.

'Angel from Hell': This series is a comedy about an angel walking among us -- except she might not actually be an angel, she might just be insane. Premiering in November, Maggie Lawson plays a dermatologist that is both baffled and intrigued by the actions of her new maybe-angel best friend. CBS doesn't produce many single-camera comedies, so it's most likely that this one won't take many chances - or be too controversial. However, the premise alone might scare Christian viewers away.

'Satisfaction': USA's newest original series, 'Satisfaction' is based off the premise that sexual satisfaction is the most important factor in a marriage. When Grace and Neil Truman are having marriage troubles, Grace starts seeing a male escort named Simon. She soon develops feelings for this escort, but it's not long before her husband finds out about her affair. In a bizarre twist that speaks to the importance of sex and lust in our society, Simon decides to become a male escort himself in an attempt to save their marriage. This series is predicated on the very notion that love and sex are intertwined, and carnal 'satisfaction' is the prime motivation for all of the characters.

The Ugly

'The Real O'Neals': Promising to be a 'fresh take' on a traditionally Catholic family, 'The Real O'Neals' is already stirring up controversy, with some Christian groups calling for the show to be boycotted due to its theme matter. The comedy, slated to air on ABC, features a a family of five dealing with modern crises in morality and family values. With a gay son, an anorexic son, and a daughter that steals from the offering plate, 'The Real O'Neals' are as opposite the traditional sitcom family, the Cleavers, as one could ever imagine. Perhaps trying to reel in the 'Modern Family' audience for another half-hour of comedy, this sitcom will be sure to aim to be as edgy and contrarian as possible.

'Lucifer': This FOX dramedy will imagine a world where the angel of light is personified on earth, having grown bored with his typical underworld existence. As the owner of an upscale LA club, Lucifer witnesses a tragedy and feels human empathy for the first time, which serves as the setup for a show that wonders, what if 'the devil' is not really evil, after all?

'Hand of God': A series offered by Amazon Prime on their streaming service, offers adult concepts about the nature of faith, tragedy and revenge. So far, the critical reaction to this show has been mixed. 'Hand of God' features Ron Perlman as a corrupt California judge that meets a con-artist preacher and starts believing God is talking to him. A brutal saga set against a cast of bleak characters, Christian audiences hoping to find a story of redemption are not likely to find if here.

'Wicked City': In this suspense-thriller show starring Ed Westwick ('Gossip Girl') and Erika Christensen ('Parenthood'), a murderer is on the loose in the Los Angeles club scene in the 1980s. From the trailer, this show feels like if 'Zodiac' met 'Fifty Shades of Grey'; Ed Westwick plays a charming sado-masochist that's into killing his sexual conquests. When he meets Erika Christensen's character, he learns she isn't his usual type: she has kids at home. Feeling guilty, he decides to kill her later, and she becomes 'the one that got away' -- literally. Hinging on the notion that audiences will be hooked on the cops' pursuit of this serial killer, the violence and sexual themes of this show push it over the delicate precipice of 'guilty pleasure' and into disturbing territory.
