Faith, belief, cultism, looking for a better future, entrenched powers fighting change, corruption..... Basic human traits and flaws meet in this Turkish series. Is Gokhan chosen by God to be his spokespreson and usher a change? Or is he just delusional? Or are there other factors at play? It's a nice look at.intersection of faith, politics and social movements. Who is playing whom? Who has ulterior motives? Who really believes and who is just going with the flow? And who is trying to harness this for their own gain?

Overall the story is interesting and compelling but at points thing happen at the pace of plot and people act the way they do simply to further plot and not because it's a rational and logical thing to do.

There is a Hollywood series with a similar premise and plot, which was in turn inspired by different series as well. I won't say which ones due to spoilers but you'll likely recognise them if you've seen either.
