Messiah

Religion is a hot button topic, over eight billion people on this earth, and each person carries their own belief system, and to question them in their faith is, at best, a shrug and, at worst, a violent confrontation. This the same sliver edge of a knife the new Messiah Netflix series is trying to walk, and Mehdi Dehbi is playing the second coming of Jesus Christ with the character of Al-Masih. Playing a religious figure is almost never a good idea for an actor because of the immense backlash which follows soon after the movie or show is released. Sometimes it doesn’t even take long for people to be outrage, which they are with the portrayal of Messiah on the Netflix show. It is safe to say Mehdi Dehbi is on a scary path, and there are more assurances this is going bad than chances of it working out for the actor.

Is he sent from God, or is he a dangerous fraud bent on dismantling the world’s geopolitical order?” A mysterious character suddenly appears in the middle east and, through miracles, starts to gain some following as he appears and disappears from place to place, helping people in need. The world of ours is a world built on deception, so every one of the governments is skeptical of the arrival of the Messiah, and the spy agencies, along with surveillance satellites and cameras, try to track each and every move of the Al-Masih. One of the secret agents trying to find the truth is Tomer Sisley's character, Aviram. Stefania LaVie Owen also appears in the show playing Rebecca Iguero.
