A scenario judged by some blasphemous

"I promise you other projects at least as intense as we get out of this dramatic global situation," he said to Messiah fans, calling on them to stay confined.

The series tells the story of the appearance in the Middle East of a mysterious character with prophetic accents (played by Belgian actor Mehdi Dehbi), on which a CIA agent (incarnated Tomer Sisley) will be responsible for leading investigation.

Broadcast since January 1 on Netflix, the first season of Messiah had caused scandal even before it went online due to its scenario judged by some blasphemous (a petition accusing him of "evil and anti-Islamic propaganda" had even been launched to demand its withdrawal).
