A Short Review of Netflix's Messiah
A friend posted on Facebook that he had watched the entire Netflix series Messiah and that intrigued me, so I decided just a few days ago to watch it. I ended up watching one episode the first night and six episodes the next day (binge watching)!!!
The series, in my opinion, is very good. It's just a story and a television show, but it shows what it might be like today if a messiah, or person with messiah-like qualities, came to earth. I got a kick out of the cell phones taking photos of this messiah walking on water in front of the Lincoln Memorial! I also thought it was quite amusing to watch a caravan of cars following this messiah across the USA from a small town in Texas to Washington D.C.
The character is very "Jesus-like" looking. He has long hair and a neatly cut beard and talks in a very sweet tone. Most of the time he's wearing jeans and a hoodie. I own a Miguel hoodie from the Disney movie Coco. I wonder if now I should get a "Messiah Hoodie?"
I still have three episodes to watch and have joined a Netflix Messiah group on Facebook. Everyone in the group thinks it is the best show ever. I know my evangelical friends will say the opposite, but I don't care. It's a fun show and I highly recommend watching it.
