Unexpectedly interesting and original. It is not worth paying attention to critics, this show has more to offer than nonsense they love. Watch at least one episode.

"If Jesus stood up today, he'd be gunned down dead by the Cia" is a line from the 1980s band 'The The'. Nothing much has changed according to the producers of Messiah. An interesting concept, very well acted but ultimately not a success,"If Jesus stood up today, he'd be gunned down dead by the Cia" is a line from the 1980s band 'The The'. Nothing much has changed according to the producers of Messiah. An interesting concept, very well acted but ultimately not a success, unfortunately. That the actors were all dislikable to a degree was deliberate. This I presume is to highlight the idea we are all flawed sinners, a relativism idea I dislike . It portrays an excessively negative view of humanity which is incorrect. It might be hard to believe but there are people out there, and not that rare either, who are just goodness personified. The next main impediment to success was the writers didn't seem to know how to progress after a certain point, though they kept the suspense and intrigue all the way through. I'm also deducting for cancellation. Series like this need to be commissioned for 2 seasons or come to a definite conclusion on one. It spoils the experience for the viewer. If they try an idea like this again, and I hope they do, they might decide on a different location to Israel/Palestine. Tibet, Venezuela, Sierra Leone, or anywhere bar the Middle East.… Expand
