Tech lover #Dajjal is coming your way through Netflix. If you are a Muslim, it is part of your emaan to answer through tech – unsubscribe Netflix, delete the app and shut him inside.#Dajjal#عمرانی_فرعونیت_نامنظور pic.twitter.com/bh6McEp6mE

The subject matter of the antichrist or devil is not something new in Hollywood. We’ve all seen films like The Exorcist and The Omen. However, none of those films have ever been so obvious and relevant to religious subtexts like this new series.
What do you think? Has Netflix gone too far with the subject matter of the Antichrist?
