I just watched the first two episodes. Seems like very brave film-making to me. The messiah character is ruffling everyon'es feathers including Islam. On the other hand, it kind of reminds me of the old TV show "Kung Fu" - not that there is anything wrong with that. The writer of this review doesn't like it because...Trump. Anyone else see any of this yet? It is a 10 episode series just released on Netflix.

There is a Messiah figure to come before Christ, and the number of his name is 666.

Only watched 2 episodes so far, but he seems to be the 12th Imam / Mahdi.

Utter drivel. Par for the course when it comes to Netflix.

No mention of President Trump unless one assumes the reference to the President of the United States is our current president.

No chance this president would fall for the nonsense this character spouts. Not a snowballs chance in hell.

Looks like MUST-SEE TV -- the leftist "critics" despise it, and audience loves it, and longtime Trump buddy Mark Burnett produced it.

Reminds me of the Bruce Willis remake of Death Wish, which generated an 18%/77% critical chasm.

Your first mistake was subscribing to Nutflix, and thereby contributing to Odungo's salary. The minute I heard he was one of their new stars, I cancelled with them. The young man on the other end of the phone told me a LOT of people cancelled when that announcement came out.

BTW, that series sounds like a bunch of PC hogwash.

Not sure it’s fair, but the first thing that came to mind was “Randall Flagg” in Stephen King’s “The Stand”.

I probably shouldn’t jump to conclusions.

Jesus answered, “See to it that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. These things must happen, but the end is still to come.…
—Matthew 24:5-6
