We are watching, 6 episodes in and I do recommend the series. It's not like any show I've seen before.
Story revolves around an alleged 'Messiah', in current times. Whether or not one believes in any Messiah, or whether the series ultimately portrays this character as a Messiah or not - it details interesting elements in any Messiah story:
There are True Believers, many of whom have pathologies.
There are major doubters who methodically see the Light.
There are religious leaders who see Messiah as false prophet.
There are political leaders who fear social upheaval and ervolution.
. . . and to everyone (including most viewers I suspect) - hear a majority of the Messiah's verbage as somewhere between annoying and baffling.
Series does accomplish a major aspect of any Messiah - a Messiah sees the world differently, or more accurately, a Messiah sees a different world.
