Why Netflix's MESSIAH Was REALLY Cancelled!

Netflix needs to renew Messiah 2. They left people hanging! This was the most excellent series ever on Netflix. The show doesn't offendt any religion, or country! We are fighting to get Messiah 2 back!

[HeidiBird]

I don't think I've ever wanted a show to continue more than I do this one!

[Primo_extracts]

This is completely unacceptable. Since the script is finished, where can we read it? Where can we see this if Netflix can't stand up to it who can?

[wayneswenson]

Never been more disappointed at the cancellation of a show. Hope they will consider bringing it back. Please!

As someone who's very interested in religion, I never even saw a commercial for it until 2 days ago... and then watched all 10 episodes. Clearly, it was intended to be hypothetical, centered around people's reactions, rather than biblical accuracy... but the attention to detail was pretty good. Yes, there were some negative stereotypes of both Muslims and Christians and Atheists, etc. But, I really respect how the show showed the diversity of views in each. There were also totally caring Muslims and Christians and Atheists... even Mormons got some acknowledgement there. It did very well, showing that none of these groups are monoliths. There are good individuals and corrupt individuals everywhere.

And, the central theme of "the past is done, humans should live in peace" was communicated very well. The scripting was good. And the psychology was very realistic, with people having biases, and doubting themselves, and taking some irrational actions. Plus, it didn't just drop a "this is the good guy and that's the bad guy" ... it started off legitimately making the audience believe this represented a real messiah.... then legitimately demonstrating that he wasn't... but maybe... but definitely not... then... well then, sure. Not just "vague, bad story telling" like some directors... but legitimately showing evidence that was hard to refute... until it made a strong case in the other direction.

I think this was actually a VERY important piece of media in our time because especially right now, there are a lot of people legitimately looking for a messiah to arrive. Even Orthodox Judaism is making claims this year, which is a bit abnormal. So, this could be useful to keep in mind, that not everything is what it appears to be.

I love how they cancelled this instead of cuties

[mervekarc]

I live in a muslim country and I haven't seen any outrage.

[MrSpankee]

This was one of the best Netflix shows if ever seen. This cancellation makes me sad.

[anthonyperez]

I watched the whole season yesterday and I need more bring that shit back

[MrJoromekiq]

the best shows on netflix always get cancelled.

I really hope you are right that it was coronavirus that stopped a 2nd season. I love this show. I thought it was so thought provoking and so inclusive. We saw him from so many different religions and sects within those religions, from a societal perspective, from a investigative perspective?

Is he the Messiah? A Pretender? Something more sinister? Something we as humans cannot comprehend, the nature of God. The cinematography was stunning and the storyline right down to the end, where even the obvious, appears to have more going on. Please Netflix make a second season when all this coronavirus stuff is over. A show worthy of season 2.

[Penelope]

This was a very interesting show. A solid tv series. I hope it gets renewed on another network if Netflix is too dumb to take it. There are several unanswered questions as to what would've happened to the characters. There is way too much potential that is being wasted by ignorant Netflix executives. Bring it back.

The reason they cancelled season 2 wasn't due to political/religion issue, its simply due to COVID19. The show was filmed in a lot of locations worldwide, they can't travel with the pandemic atm. Also, the show had actors from different countries (Israelis, for example), they can't recruit actors from other countries right now. Hopefully, they will renew the show after the pandemic, I'm willing to wait as long as it takes, this show is so worth it.

[deadpope]

I enjoyed the show and am saddened not to get to see season 2.

[heyhow]

I love it how so many people in the comments have so many different ideas, stories and theories about what might have happen. That's why i love this show. It comes with so many mysterys. And everyone from all sorts of religions, cultures and countries would love to see where this is going. It brings so many different kind of people together which is why this show is actually a big succes.

[yamagata]

I just discovered this show. This was fantastic and I loved this show. Season 2 -- PLEASE!

[buubuu]

I just started watching this series "Messiah" and im completly stunned. I love it, one of the best shows ever. I can't believe they cancelled it. It's ridiculus!!!! I'm in the 4 ep, and already sad cause i wont get to see the finale.

[zamtheft]

I'm Muslim and I really enjoyed the messiah

[DanielMazahreh]

This is one of the most brilliant shows that legitimately exposed and criticized the most dangerous terrorist countries in the world: the USA and Israel. There were so many fantastic life-changing scenes such as Al-Masih telling the President to withdraw all USA’s troops as the first step towards achieving world peace.

I would like to imagine such a powerful show full of brutally honest moments that expose the crimes of the CIA and whatnot may have contributed to the cancellation. Perhaps it’s really the pandemic as you said.

as a christian I really enjoyed this show and want a second season, obviously it doesn't perfectly reflect christianity but its a fictional tv show! it gave different perspectives and i think the show is great because no matter what your beliefs are the show will be enjoyable and you can make your own judgements. i wish people would stop being so offended at everything
