    Making sense of Netflix’s Messiah

Other than what the Bible had told me: darkness will rule the earth, Jesus will come to judge and thus will follow a thousand-year kingdom of peace on earth – it t was something I hadn’t considered deeply until this week when I binge-watched Netflix’s latest venture, Messiah, a crime drama about a charismatic man dubbed ‘Al-Masih’, which literally translates to ‘the anointed one’.

    Netflix's 13 reasons why

So what do we do with it? Ignore it? Watch it with our young people? Something between?
