About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a mysterious, emotional series about faith, fame, and growing up, with steady-building tension; Not for you if you dislike slow starts, subtitles, or religious themes, and if you preferred Messiah’s tone.
Pros: intriguing miracle premise; emotional coming-of-age; strong kid performances | Cons: slow early pacing; uneven credibility; rushed final stretch
