That looks really interesting. If I understand correctly, Islam holds Blessed Mary very highly. We Catholics also hold her very highly. I know that some fundamentalist Christians think that we worship her but we definitely do not.

Salam. Yeah, I know catholic brethren understand her position well. And I can understand how you feel with the accusing of worshipping one other than God. And, I think, it is what you believe in that matters, not what others think of you. ma salam

IRIB shared it all dubbed in English. Here you can watch it:

I definitely suggest it.

Does the film/series portray her son as a prophet, as the Muslims believe, or as a messiah, as the Christians believe?

 

[Matemkar]

I really don't want to spoil the tv series. lol.
Yet, I need to say, the tv series is not about Isa/Jesus, and it only mentions his birth in the end. Another point I need to make is, islamic belief on Jesus is that he is not only an arch Prophet but also he is the Masih/Messiah. But not Son of God.
