This is not for the first time that a show is being called off for hurting religious sentiments if you could remember Mel Gibson’s The Passion for the Christ, it suffered the same fate, back in 2004.
The film based on the death of Jesus caused a massive uproar in the Christian community worldwide. As social media was not persistent in those days, protests were held calling out the filmmakers.
And now Netflix’s Messiah seems to have upset subscribers from different faiths chucking in their monthly payments to the streaming service.
