'Messiah' throws Twitter in a frenzy

The Netflix series based on Dajjal is out and users are questioning the version of false Messiah depicted

When the trailer of Netflix’s ‘Messiah’ came out in 2019, Pakistan’s Twitterati were in a fix as #Dajjal became one of the top trends on the micro-blogging site.

Now that the series has come out, it is trending number 1 on Pakistani Twitter again with people questioning the version of the false Messiah depicted.

The show follows a man who resembles the Islamic appearance of Hazrat Isa (AS) and claims to be a messiah after putting a raft of miracles on display. It goes onto show how this divine entity or con artist, played by Mehdi Dehbi, is being investigated by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), who are baffled by his ‘miracles’ and are unwilling to buy into his claims.

'Messiah' is created by Michael Petroni and has a 7.4 IMDB rating. The series has sparked several questions with several users condemning others from watching the show at all - claiming that it has been created to manipulate and confuse people.

I‘m disgusted by #Netflix new series “#Messiah”!

It shows a reckless Islamic-false-Messiah who speaks in Allah’s name and is against Israel.

The world is being ushered in to the greatest deceit ever! Mark 13:21-22

I usually follow end-times signs, but that is making me sick!🔥

Say no to the #Messiah series of #Netflix because it is based on anti Islamic teaching
A series can not teach you the religional facts except wrong.
If you are a muslim you have to read the Quran and hadees of prophet Muhammad (SAW) about messiah dajjal and prophet jesus. pic.twitter.com/opRaMqNzGO

Some users however, believe the show to be well put together, without being controversial at all.

Half way through #Messiah, but still I haven't found anything blasphemous against Islam or any other religion for that matter. Its seems like a well-put commnetay on the geopolitics and mainly CIA-led American politics #MessiahNetflix

Messiah is really provoking and intimidating.
And for those following one of the Abrahamic religions who have just a simple idea of the subject prepare yourselves for a journey.

2020 is going to be interesting indeed.#Messiah @NetflixMENA #Netflix pic.twitter.com/KOnCzgTcJU
