Ok, I don't write many reviews but this show deserves praise (oops, no pun intended). Here's how I feel, if you may be upset by religion being the theme of a piece of fiction please don't watch them and then give bad ratings. People's beliefs are just that, beliefs. As a non-believer, I was very much entertained by the evolution of this story. It needed to take place where it did because none of what happened is possible in America. It was perfectly set. The character building was great, the twists great, the suspense, the emotion, the cinematography, camera work, and location all great. Highest of quality. Top marks for music! The score and soundtrack is so awesome I will def watch this again just to feel it all again! The acting was fantastic and the big climactic scene... just WOW. Ending was very well done. There were some comments about the white blue eyed man message and in my opinion it isn't a message, it's projection. It's also not a Netflix story. White men have done a good enough job demonizing themselves than tv and films do. There are lots of movies about the chosen one, messiahs, angels, demons, good vs evil but this was actually thought all the way out to the very end and didn't fall apart at any stage of the story. It was crafted by gifted storytellers. I hope you watch it. Some more details to keep people who may not appreciate it from leaving bad reviews is that it's basically a young adult piece. All of the main characters are 12. They are likable and they all care about each other. There is some teen romance and underage drinking. There are weird scenes of a voice whispering to Jodie, lots of flashbacks, and some 'oh come on' moments but it was all part of the ride. And one more thing, I really wish people would enjoy tv and film a little more by not trippin out so much on how realistic everything needs to be. Just remember Movie Phone guys voice, "In a world...." and then allow the creators to take you there.
