Cut trope. Can't tell if replacements or others applicable.


* BiggerBad: Oscar Wallace is implied to be this and is regarded as this by Eve for most of the series, assuming Al-Masih is working to advance his goals of fomenting chaos as outlined in his manifesto. [[spoiler: However, when she actually makes contact with Wallace, this trope is seemingly subverted as Wallace claims that [[HorrifyingTheHorror Al-Masih/Payam Golshiri is worse than him.]]]]

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: Al-Masih is shown leading a large group of people from Damascus, through the desert and into the Israeli border. In real life, that region is marked by lush, green mountains that get snowy in winter, quite unlike the desert it's portrayed as.

* LittlestCancerPatient: One of them is taken to see the Messiah, as opposed to the very aggressive chemotherapy she was undergoing. [[spoiler: It's averted, she dies in the series finale.]] Also a case of RealityEnsues, [[spoiler: as the father files for divorce from his wife for essentially kidnapping their child away from critical care and signing the death warrant herself.]] Suffice it to say this whole arc was played for drama, not laughs.

The series follows a man (Mehdi Dehbi) who appears in Damascus in its DarkestHour, preaching in the street that God will deliver the city from Daesh. When a sandstorm seemingly vindicates the man, he attracts a following of Syrian-Palestinians who proceed to follow him and give him the nickname Al-Masih. Al Masih's further travels see him draw an increased following as he performs various apparent miracles, such as saving Felix Iguero's (John Ortiz) church from a tornado in Texas.
