You won't be disappointed!

Too much of everything

Absolutely Fantastic

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is one of the best television dramas I have ever watched. I sincerely wish there were more episodes. The acting is superb. The characters are believable and well fleshed out, even the seemingly unimportant ones come across as real. This show evokes emotion and makes you care deeply what happens next. It also beautifully filmed. The locations and sets are rich and engaging, the use of light and sound to evoke mood masterful. The attention to even small details is astounding. I cannot fathom why this show did not have a long and rich run. I believe if its creators were to revive it for American audiences it would be a smash hit.

It is truly a rarity these days to watch, read, listen to anything from the mainstream media that doesn't fuse the Church and Scandal. The negative review by "critical thinker" is the mainstream result of public brainwashing about the catholic church. Furthermore, I wouldn't consider a review being anywhere near honest when its author only watched a fraction of the show.Unlike what the above mentioned critic claimed, the show actually portrays the Catholic church in its current state. The faith is not an institution, but rather the founding principles that guides individuals, and we see that very clearly in father Jacob's character, and the other side of the coin in Cardinal Bukovak's. They both personify the true nature of the faith in constant struggle with Satan, which can also penetrate the church.There is no dogma forced down anyone throat, in fact the complete opposite, which is very obvious to anyone who watch the show in its entirety. Father Jacob takes every situation with utter tolerance, slight humor, without an ounce of condemnation or judgement of character, whether it is homosexuality, abortion, convicts, the Muslim faith, even the possessed.The only shortfall of this show is that it ended.

This is an excellent show with superb writing. I just discovered it and was disappointed to find there only seem to be six episodes. I would have given it 10 stars if they had made more! It was probably an expensive show to shoot but is still much better than 90% of television on the air. Here's hoping that someone will want to make more. This is what the recent movie featuring Anthony Hopkins should have been had the writing and story line been stronger. I hope if someone buys it they don't try to re-do it in the US as it will probably be a weaker version. I would hate to see it watered down to the Sc-Fi "Being Human" equivalent. A fan in Texas

I have seen only two episodes so far, but it looks as if this show is more like "The Godfather" than "Exorcist". It has all the elements of a classic gangster movie. We have two sides, priests and demons, fighting each other (cops and gangsters). There is a new chief exorcist in town (new chief of police), and the demons start attacking people close to him. First victim of "the shootout" is a certain priest who used to be a leper, but the demons cured him (a cop on mafia payroll, I guess he got an offer he couldn't refuse). The demons want him to return the favor, torturing him all the while for being gay (and we all know how gays are treated in mafia).There is also a pious little girl, who comes to the chief exorcist asking him to help her father. Her father is a second victim of the demons. She noticed that he talks to himself, threatens to molest her, and reads atheist books by Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens (atheist books, an OBVIOUS sign of demonic possession). The exorcist decides to have a look into the matter, but doesn't want to go to the police or social services (the Feds always ruin the fun, plus there would be a HUGE jurisdiction problem – are we dealing with a regular atheist molester or a possessed person??), so he visits the girl's father personally. He discovers that the man really is possessed (works for the mafia), and with a little bit of praying and a lot of shouting and some persuasion finally banishes the demon. So now that the girl and her father are safe, they need to be hidden someplace safe, away from the demons (a witness protection program?). Quote from the show: Little girl's mother (worried and angry): "Is that what this is? God and Satan in some kind of pissing contest, with us in the middle??" Priest (deeply troubled and concerned): "The police can not protect you...wherever you go, Satan will find you. There is only one place demons can not enter." (zoom in on the church)The actors are very good, no doubt about it, but the story is quite silly and a total cliché. I give the show 3 stars, only because of the fine acting.
