It's not unusual for films to attract controversy on release, particularly when they deal with Bible stories, but Netflix's new feature Mary is taking flak from two directions at once, angering Palestinian supporters and conservative Christians alike.

The article from Yahoo Entertainment discusses the controversy surrounding Netflix's decision to release "Testament: The Story of Moses," a docudrama series that explores the life of Moses, a pivotal figure in the Abrahamic religions. Critics and viewers have expressed disgust and disappointment over what they perceive as a "disgusting" and "blasphemous" portrayal of sacred religious narratives. The series, which aims to blend historical context with dramatic storytelling, has been accused of taking liberties with biblical accounts, leading to accusations of disrespect towards religious sensitivities. Despite the backlash, Netflix defends the series as an attempt to engage a broad audience with religious history through a modern lens, highlighting the complexities and human aspects of Moses' story. However, the debate continues about the appropriateness of such adaptations, with some arguing that it reflects a broader cultural shift towards secular interpretations of religious figures.
