I'm up to the last episode. Very intense. No spoilers please! I don't know what to think. Probably more commentary after the last episode.

1. If I recall from reality...

...toward THE END the teachings of the messiah are perverted by 1-800--send-money "christian" ministers and G,O,P, politicians. it's really sad.

5. You don't need Netflix to view it

There are many websites you can use other than Netflix.
One of my favorites here.

8. What is this site? Thanks

9. It's a website for viewing movies and television shows

Sail the high seas my friend.

Just use a good ad blocker like Ublock origin or Adguard, and you will be good.

6. Here's my favorite version of "Messiah"; it's free on YouTube.

It's performed by the Academy of Ancient Music (UK). Spoiler alert: The Hallelujah Chorus starts at 1:07:00.

7. Thanks for posting. I accessed a similar video on Christmas Day.

In the video I watched, the soloists are superb. The conductor proudly cues the splendid musicians. The performance is a magnificent two-and-a-third hours' worth of entertainment. Also, the venue (the Sheldonium Hall) is exquisite.

11. I'm not talking about the Handel oratorio, dammit

This is a drama that starts in a refugee camp in either Palestine or Syria and goes on from there. Please try to pay attention.

I loved it! You should watch this series. It's freaking amazing, though intense.
