Christian (TV series)

Christian is an Italian fantasy crime drama television series created by Valerio Cilio and Roberto Sberna. It premiered on Sky Atlantic in Italy on January 28, 2022.

The series centers around Christian, a henchman for a boss in the outskirts of Rome. He works as a debt collector and enforcer, seemingly unremarkable until he develops stigmata on his hands and begins performing miracles. His life is further complicated by the arrival of Matteo, a Vatican postulator obsessed with finding someone who can perform miracles, and the complex ethical dilemmas posed by his newfound abilities.

The series explores themes of faith, redemption, morality, and the clash between the sacred and the profane in a contemporary setting. The first season follows Christian's journey as he grapples with his powers and their implications, while navigating the criminal underworld and Matteo's persistent pursuit.

The series has received attention for its unique premise, blending crime drama elements with supernatural themes, and for its exploration of faith outside of traditional religious institutions.
