A few weeks ago I wrote an article about the Netflix original series named Messiah. It was recommended here by @netflixr, and he called it one of the best series he had seen this year. That intrigued me, and I wrote an article about the series after watching three episodes. I was really enthusiastic about the show then, but what is the status after watching all ten episodes?
To sum it up quickly...
I am really sad that there ain't gonna be a second season! As I watched the first season, I was really curious to find out if there would come a second season. I also reading the words of @netflixr who said he would for sure stream a second season as well, if it would ever come. So, I was actually sad to discover that Netflix didn't renew it for a second season.
But, I have got to admit that by the middle of the final episode, I had my doubts about whether or not I would be interested in the second season. Our so-called Messiah seemed to be more of the world than I had hoped for. But, then the final minutes changed it all. What is the truth?
The series make you reflect on life...
I really like the way the series make you think about big questions in life. Not necessarily about religion, about Jesus, and fanaticism, but also about the way we deal with what we see. This might be a bit of a spoiler, but when the so-called Messiah decides to walk on water, how do you deal with that? Everyone see the same thing, but the way people relate to it and speak of it is widely different. I guess that is a great example of how we deal with COVID and all other aspects of life, and this is how it is entirely up to every individual to make their own decisions about life, faith, religion, and any other aspect of life!
What makes Messiah so great?
Once again, I wrote some words on this in my previous article as well. But, I really like the fact that it doesn't entirely give you the answers, but every viewer will all the time sit with their own thoughts about the reality surrounding the Messiah character. It is also easy to see oneself in the characters surrounding the Messiah. Do you feel like the Pastor, or maybe the daughter of the pastor or the wife of the pastor? Or are you more like the agent player by Ruth Wilson who tries to understand him? Or are you like the Israeli agent who is filled with anger and wounds, who simply want to kill the Messiah and go on with life?
It is so easy to feel at home and identify with some of the characters in the series, and that is what made it so wonderful.
Messiah requires 500 minutes of your life!
If you want to watch this, it will require approximately 500 minutes of your life (a little bit less). Since there will be no further seasons, that is everything you will get. I have recommended this series to several friends already, and they are all enjoying it.
In other words, this is a series that captivate a lot of people discussing a Messiah kind of figure suddenly showing up in Syria, getting followers, and then suddenly showing up in other parts of the world.
I will not go further into the details of the series, but if you want a great show on Netflix in ten parts, this is one I can warmly recommend. And once again, do not forgot to read my previous article about the series as well!
