Blood Psalms Episode 1 Download

Its just too fictious. The Story doesnt add up I had to wait for all episodes to be released so that i can get what they really trying to do . It seems as though a lot of ideas were just put together and hope it will come together but it did not . A lot of things do not add I understand the idea of having multiple plots but they must have a point of intersection unfornunately this is not the case we are forced to think that Zazi is the point of intersection but still the plots do not intersect . It has no flow whatsover its like getting all the best players into one team and hoping that they will produce magic but it just doesnt happen too many loopholes! and question marks that shouldnt be there . It left me wondering and asking myself what is the point of this what is its main objective what is it trying to achieve . After 3 episodes i stopped to until the last episode was released but still it just left me asking myself what really is the point of this storyline great. Great Visuals though . The story is just not cohesive .

I have never wasted my time watching this than I have on some Lokshin Bioscope productions. I had to BEG myself to even get to episode 8 because the story makes absolutely no sense. A few minutes into episode 8 i decided annoyingly that i have much MUCH better things to waste my spare time on. The storyline is all over the place, the plot is centered around everything and nothing at all, all at the same time. I should give credit to the performances by the cast and SOME of the waredrobe. The more ambitious costumes looked a little cheap.

Mother Superior stands in front of a closed, circular stone door deep underground, which has a glowing ankh symbol (both a key to life and a key to the Nile River) at the centre, surrounded by a pentagram whose points overlap a circle (creating a pentacle). Mother Superior tells Mzini that the Akachi Princess, though she might not know it, comes from the Chini bloodline, and that the Golden Age is about to return.

The main draw for Blood Psalms, the latest and certainly most ambitious program yet released by Showmax, which at last held the premiere of its first two episodes on the 24th of August, is likely to be its dramatic magnitude. As an African TV series, the scale of the production on Blood Psalms is essentially unprecedented, but beyond that, this opulence bleeds into the scope of its storytelling, as writer and director Jahmil X.T. Qubeka involves and develops the disparate African mythologies of the past into a web of mystic conspiracy and fiercely defended self-interests.

Deadline can reveal Blood Psalms will have its world premiere in Cape Town on Wednesday August 24 as the opening night screening at MIP Africa, part of FAME Week Africa. The show then debuts to subscribers on September 28, with new episodes dropping even week for 11 weeks thereafter.

Going into this series, I was already expecting the CGI to be subpar, but even with the grace extended, it lacked a strong and coherent storyline. The first episode was undoubtedly the strongest because it gave a lot of setups and context and established the main tribes and groups that played important roles in this world. What became glaringly obvious by the second episode was that everything in this world was extremely vain, lacking any depth to create an invested audience.

My biggest issue is that this story played out like a soapie. It was neither written episodically nor did it have the intention to resolve the conflict or build the world. Because of this, the pacing was off, resulting in nine episodes playing over two days which made no sense. The series had all the bones to be great, but the writing (and wishy-washy performances) really let it down. Nothing about this series was spectacular except the lighting, and the producers probably knew this because they threw sex scenes everywhere as a diversion from the lack of care taken in the story.

The book is an anthology of Hebrew religious hymns. In the Jewish and Western Christian traditions, there are 150 psalms, and several more in the Eastern Christian churches.[4][5] The book is divided into five sections, each ending with a doxology, or a hymn of praise. There are several types of psalms, including hymns or songs of praise, communal and individual laments, royal psalms, imprecation, and individual thanksgivings. The book also includes psalms of communal thanksgiving, wisdom, pilgrimage and other categories.

While many of the psalms contain attributions to the name of King David and other Biblical figures including Asaph, the sons of Korah, and Solomon, David's authorship is not accepted by most modern Bible scholars, who instead attribute the composition of the psalms to various authors writing between the 9th and 5th centuries BC. The psalms were written from the time of the Israelite conquest of Canaan to the post-exilic period and the book was probably compiled and edited into its present form during the post-exilic period in the 5th century BC.[5]

Verse numbers were first printed in 1509.[15][16] Different traditions exist whether to include the original heading into the counting or not. This leads to inconsistent numbering in 62 psalms, with an offset of 1, sometimes even 2 verses.[17]

Hymns are songs of praise for God's work in creation or history. They typically open with a call to praise, describe the motivation for praise, and conclude with a repetition of the call. Two sub-categories are "enthronement psalms", celebrating the enthronement of Yahweh as king, and Zion psalms, glorifying Mount Zion, God's dwelling-place in Jerusalem.[18] Gunkel also described a special subset of "eschatological hymns" which includes themes of future restoration (Psalm 126) or of judgment (Psalm 82).[19]

Individual laments are psalms lamenting the fate of the psalmist. By far the most common type of psalm, they typically open with an invocation of God, followed by the lament itself and pleas for help, and often ending with an expression of confidence.[20]

The composition of the psalms spans at least five centuries, from psalm 29 to others clearly from the post-Exilic period (not earlier than the fifth century BC.) The majority originated in the southern kingdom of Judah and were associated with the Temple in Jerusalem, where they probably functioned as libretto during the Temple worship. Exactly how they did this is unclear, although there are indications in some of them: "Bind the festal procession with branches, up to the horns of the altar," suggests a connection with sacrifices, and "Let my prayer be counted as incense" suggests a connection with the offering of incense.[4]

Some of the psalms show influences from related earlier texts from the region; examples include various Ugaritic texts and the Babylonian Enma Eli. These influences may be either of background similarity or of contrast. For example Psalm 29 seems to share characteristics with Canaanite religious poetry and themes. Not too much should be read into this, however. Robert Alter points out that the address to "sons of God" at the opening "are best thought of the flickering literary afterlife of a polytheistic mythology" but that "belief in them...is unlikely to have been shared by the scribal circles that produced Psalms".[30] The contrast against the surrounding polytheistic religion is well seen in Psalms 104:26[31] where their convention of a monstrous sea-god in fierce conflict, such as the Babylonian Tiamat, Canaanite Yam and the Leviathan which also appears in the Hebrew Bible, is "reduced to an aquatic pet with whom YHWH can play".[32]

Many scholars believe the individual Psalms were redacted into a single collection during the Second Temple period.[35] It had long been recognized that the collection bore the imprint of an underlying message or metanarrative, but that this message remained concealed, as Augustine of Hippo said, "The sequence of the Psalms seems to me to contain the secret of a mighty mystery, but its meaning has not been revealed to me." (Enarr. on Ps. 150.1) Others pointed out the presence of concatenation, that is, adjacent Psalms sharing similar words and themes. In time, this approach developed into recognizing overarching themes shared by whole groups of psalms.[36]

Most individual psalms involve the praise of God for his power and beneficence, for his creation of the world, and for his past acts of deliverance for Israel. They envision a world in which everyone and everything will praise God, and God in turn will hear their prayers and respond. Sometimes God "hides his face" and refuses to respond, questioning (for the psalmist) the relationship between God and prayer which is the underlying assumption of the Book of Psalms.[55]

Some psalms are called "maskil" (maschil), meaning "enlightened" or "wise saying", because they impart wisdom. Most notable of these is Psalm 142 which is sometimes called the "Maskil of David"; others include Psalm 32 and Psalm 78.[56]

Individual psalms were originally hymns, to be used on various occasions and at various sacred sites; later, some were anthologised, and might have been understood within the various anthologies (e.g., ps. 123 as one of the Psalms of Ascent); finally, individual psalms might be understood within the Psalter as a whole, either narrating the life of David or providing instruction like the Torah. In later Jewish and Christian tradition, the psalms have come to be used as prayers, either individual or communal, as traditional expressions of religious feeling.[60]

Paul the Apostle quotes psalms (specifically Psalms 14 and 53, which are nearly identical) as the basis for his theory of original sin, and includes the scripture in the Epistle to the Romans, chapter 3.

Furthermore, psalms often serve as the inspiration for much of modern or contemporary Christian worship music in a variety of styles. Some songs are entirely based on a particular psalm or psalms, and many quote directly from the Book of Psalms (and other parts of the Bible).[89] e24fc04721
