Jan 12, 2020Not bad, but kinda flat. I love Michelle Moynahan, but her performance has a daytime TV vibe I didn't like. Feels like they'll drag out the savior/conman thing for as long as they can. The biggest issue is that this is an old story and new window dressing and cgi aren't adding to the trope.

The series has a lot going on, and it's certainly food for thought. Yet given what a third-rail topic the subject tends to be, the rewards don't seem to justify the risk, in the same way the merits of "Messiah" season one, once completed, don't wholly justify the time investment.

It’s one thing to stoke audiences’ imagination and anxiety with uncertainty, but do it for too long, and to no conclusive end, and what you’re left with is characters, situations and conundrums that are increasingly impossible to care about—especially when the show has nothing enlightening to say about them.

Messiah is potent stuff packed with fine performances.
