    2025-11-10—The Promised Land

    One of the more bizarre TV pilots I’ve discovered on YouTube—and that, perhaps, specifically because of how hard it tries to be familiar. Today, I’m talking about The Promised Land. The Promised Land — Pilot The Promised Land Overview What Is It? On their way from Egypt to the promised land, Moses and his family…
