Messiah

Like yeah, it's a show about nothing. It's also pretty empty of thought, a bit parroting, and for a show that's supposed to be about the coming of a new messiah, it falls pretty short on that front. Basically, it seems to me that the writers took a couple of religious books, slapped a few things together, then frowned importantly at Huntington, so that maybe the agent could be saying something new and not what can be found on Wikipedia. I found the same kind about nothing with the messiah himself; he basically remains unresolved until the end and I'd be happy for a sequel because I just want to know if it's a lie or not (even though in the end maybe someone will get the picture, I still have big buts). The content of the series is really about nothing. It's just that form won out for me here. I simply enjoyed watching it. It was nice to switch off and just watch because I was interested to see how similar it was to the book The Sixth Station. I enjoyed looking for parallels in it, I enjoyed how the characters spoke multiple languages, I enjoyed the actors because they were gathered from all over the world, I enjoyed looking for more in the characters than the writers gave them credit for. Exceptionally, therefore, my rating reflects form rather than content. 4 stars by a hair. (01/07/2020)
