The limited series was based upon the nonfiction novel, Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith by Jon Krakauer. Detective Pyre was tasked with investigating a murder within the Mormon community, and he found himself questioning his faith — the basis of which he’d built absolutely everything.

From compassion and disdain to a deep-seated fear, Garfield showcased a multifaceted character through several phases of a turn of faith, and it was an emotional watch. The Emmy nomination was something fans saw coming after that performance, but it’s still worth celebrating.

Fans are already taking to social media with Garfield’s new title.
