A wary CIA officer investigates a charismatic man who sparks a spiritual movement and stirs political unrest.

I just watched this entire 10 episode season overnight and it is absolutely incredible.

Caught the first episode last night. Very promising. I’ve always loved Michelle Monaghan too.

At the moment she is the defining reason why I want to watch this

It'll go on the list

Probably going to check it out this weekend

Two episodes in and pretty good. Some jarringly awful moments but I'm interested to see where it's going.

Up to 7 episodes in and this has really drawn me in....it's really captivating. It's not action or comedy, weirdly it's religion and God and how people are drawn to it, that's not something I'd usually be interested in but, man, the way this story is told keeps you glued.

well, this reminds of that show Tyrant mixed up with The Following. Only thing missing here is Kevin Bacon. Wait!! hes there!!!

Today I’ve watched episodes 1-8. I’ve really enjoyed it so far!

I couldn't sleep. I haven't been drawn to a show like this since 24 or Breaking Bad but that was a weekly thing. This was all there and I just had to know where everything was going.

Just finished watching Episode 6 and i'm seriously intrigued as to the pay-off of who the main character rally is; is he a con-artist and illusionist? A clever demagogue? Or is he really the islamic representation of Mashiach? Looking forward to wrapping this up by the end of the weekend (though probably not seeing as my car is out of the garage and in it's best shape in years...

I'm very interested in knowing what you think of the finale when you watch it then.

Finished this off, man this was something else. Great ending, great 10 episodes, one of the best shows I’ve seen in a while, had me hooked throughout. Hope there’s more of this to come...

More would be good as long as it's just as good as this but if there's no more, I love the ending just fine.

TheWildWhelk · 01-11-2020, 11:43 AM

I enjoyed the series, but found it to be largely inconclusive; it definitely feels like it is setting up a second series, and if that's not the case, it should have been extended to 12 episodes instead of 10. Not bad, but definitely not great, either. :-/

tezster · 01-11-2020, 12:01 PM

I agree the ending was a bit of a letdown in that there is no real payoff - I do think that was intentional, not to have the story neatly wrapped up would've been too convenient.

Having said that, I loved the series as whole - I binged it over 3 days.

Naiera · 01-11-2020, 12:06 PM

I'm not sure the show got better as the seasons went along, but I still liked it overall. I hope there's another season to wrap it up.
