If you're not on the fence and you're eager to watch Messiah...enjoy. My saying it's a badly made show doesn't make it exist any less.

Yes, the series has taken us all over the globe. Despite all that physical movement though, it's largely failed to deliver any kind of dramatic or emotional progress.

The show is much more compelling for the fact that it doesn't tell you what to believe one way or another, and generally lets viewers make up their own minds about whether the mysterious cult-like leader is miraculous or a myth.

All of this is told so blandly and straightfacedly as to deny any metaphorical reading or symbolic resonance.

Messiah introduces a character who might be divine, then keeps elbowing him off screen to focus on meandering subplots.

It's not that Messiah is bad, but there's really no compelling reason to watch it.

But while Monaghan has all the animation of a department-store mannequin, Sisley and especially Dehbi bring a compelling intensity to their complex, riddling roles.
