Who was behind the account of God in the series?
Spoiler Alert: Given below are details about the finale episode.
In the finale of the episode, Miles received a message from 'God's' account, which told him to come to the Annapurna Himalayas. Miles is shown going to a mountain top to unravel the mystery behind the creator of the account and bring out the truth in front of everyone.

In an interview with a leading media portal, show creator, Wynbrandt opened up about the ending of the episode and what they had on their minds. Wynbrandt revealed that the last scene was in some part meant to be a cliffhanger ending that would have given way to Season 3. But as the show stands cancelled, the creators of the show had to craft a conclusion under chaotic circumstances.
Showrunners Wynbrandt and others said that in the spirit of the show, the answer as to who was ‘she’ cannot be a definitive one. It solely depends on the viewer to decide as religion itself (or many things in life) it is what one takes from their beliefs and teaching and one must not impose an answer on them. Therefore the viewers could not be given a definite answer to whether it was God or not. However, he did say in the interview that it was evident that ‘she’ was a spiritual being.
Moreover, Wynbrandt revealed to a media portal that the essence of the show lies in the fact that Miles was searching for his own place in the world, and his journey was less about him getting the answer and more about him being ready to receive it. So, whether it was God or not God, it was more about helping him reach a place where he is open-minded, unencumbered by the tragedies of the past, and fully open to the answer. Ultimately, that was the journey and that is what the mountaintop signified. Who was 'She' was of lesser importance.
