I loved how nuanced this was. That the fine line between being what people perceive you as and who you are is blurred to the extent that you could be who they think you are or may not be. Tackling the idea that anyone that has a true spiritually awakened existence or has godliness in human form is a tough call. But all the way through with a trickle of information here and there, we begin to doubt the very thing that people want to believe he is...the messiah, which he has never claimed to be. It is by deeds only or specific circumstances that we feel he could be the messiah. Yes he is a human, but as in the gospels, Christ came into the body of Jesus of Nazareth and had that one thing not happened, a carpenter he would have been, most likely.
It is a pity there are rumors the series was cut short at the end of series one, given he has survived the play crash and supposedly brought two people back to life, one being not worth redeeming if you ask me.
