This was pretty good. 4/5.
The ‘thriller’ description was IMO, appropriate. It wasn’t really a fantasy or sifi, didn’t try to push a heavy pro or anti-religion agenda. Lots of little twists, action and enough ‘what’s really going on here?’ moments to keep a good binge going.

I was initially “wow-ed” by “Messiah”, and binged all 10 episodes in one day. What I am left with at the conclusion, is nothing but pure speculation, however. I would definitely watch a season 2, due in part to the strong acting on the behalf of Mehdi Dehbi (“Al-Masih “) more than anything else. The writers did seem aimless after episode 4, which bothered me. An excessive use of various branches of “what ifs” and rash semi-formed conclusions on the behalf of the focal protagonist (Michelle Monaghan aka “Eva Geller”), who was also as ambiguous in her own background as Al-Masih, made this viewer also feel more than a bit unfocused as to the definitive meaning of the series. “Messiah” is definitely an easy and interesting, and thoroughly addictive watch, regardless of the issues with the story itself (which is probably intentional on the behalf on Netflix).

After finding out this series has already sent the SJW denizens of Twitter into a triggered rage, I REALLY want to watch it.

It also has a very low critic score on Woken, er, I mean Rotten Tomatoes. You know, the critics that are pandering to the very same SJWs that are upset. That means this show is gonna be really good.

My guess was that the christian fundie ‘burn it before you read it’ crowd (and their bots) got all pissy again and downvoted it, but after watching some of it myself, I agree,it’s gonna be real good.

No thank you, I love fiction and fairy tales but I could never get into this story no matter how it is portrayed.

PonderThis -1 points 5 years ago.

I love the philosophical idea in the show. How can you be so sure whether he is a messiah or not even with all of his past background? Regardless is it a hoax or not? Some would say you decide your path when God shows you a direction, if you believe in God. But one thing is certain, this drama has started a discussion and many don’t want to discuss such a subject. Politics, religion and taxes are a few things people don’t like to talk about because of how they feel about such topics. It’s better to keep quiet and keep the tempers cool.

I get confused as to what happens in episodes 1&2 and then suddenly we’re in Texas. Granted I was playing a heated game of Civilization and wasn’t paying much attention but it sure jumps into something more palatable for white America really quickly. That said, I was actually surprised at how it kept me anxious in just the right way. Is he? Is he not?
