This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Interesting concept, but let down by being an ongoing television show... Rather than say, a 4 part mini-series instead.

This is because the main premise of the show is all about whether the central character, the new 'Messiah', is or isn't who he purports to be. Once that conundrum is defined, either way, then the show has no core element left and thus becomes pointless.

So, in order to maintain that ambiguity, we get 10 episodes and really have no more idea about the Messiah character's motives and aren't any closer to knowing if he is Divine than we did when he is introduced at the start of episode 1.

Which means the whole narrative has no weight, no inertia, no real depth... I know a second season has been commissioned, but I can't see a third happening.… Expand
