Brother-Blood

I haven't watched the Spanish show. And you could say I'm a K-drama fan but nevertheless, I'm surprised to see the ratings!

I don't know what people expected. First episode seemed solid enough for me. You could be critical of some minor logical issues during the story but generally it was ok.

I liked the Soundtrack as well. Starting the show with a BTS song? Amazing. Other tracks were good too (don't know if they belong to the original show or not).

The excitement and intensity has not reached a jaw-dropping level yet, but then again, you don't expect that to happen in the first episode.

Messiah is one of the most engaging tv shows I've ever watched! As it tackles probably the most critical issue of the age; and furthermore, the characters here are all well written. None of the main characters are unnecessary here and they are admittingly believable, if not relatable.

The show does a pretty good job of maintaining the key question: Is he The Messiah (or Mahdi or whoever you believe to be The Savior)? Another thing that this show is good at, is rising the escalation as we proceed through each episode towards the end.

It has a good chunk of memorable quotes as well.

On the negative side, if you believe this guy to be The Messiah and you are a conservative Christian, or a Shia Muslim, then I guess you'll disagree with the portrayal of the savior here; more notably, his emergence and approach towards whatever plans he has.

I have to add that this show does not have the top level production quality of a Netflix hit show; so don't expect too much from the VFX scenes and stuff. Here the concept is of more importance.
