Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Henry (Alan Ruck) and Angela Rance (Geena Davis) have two lovely daughters, Casey and Kat. Despite Henry's difficulties, the family seems perfect on the outside. Father Tomas Ortega is their priest. Kat starts to become withdrawn. Meanwhile, Father Marcus Keane is working as an exorcist under the direction of Father Bennett. The second season has another family with foster kids from various backgrounds under attack. The priests return to do another exorcism.This is solid work for network fare. The first season does a nice rolling boil that climax with some crazy exorcist action. There are some interesting reveals and good surprises. These are good actors. It's all very intriguing. The second season takes it to another family. I don't mind the new family but some aspects of the first season family should have been brought along. One or two of the girls could join the priests in their demon hunt. There is an appeal to doing an anthology series but on the other hand, it's as if the first season counts for nothing. I had next to no expectations with this series at the start but it ended up giving some intriguing secondary addition to the horror classic.

Season 1 was quite lame as far as the possessed angle goes, it should have been far more violent and the demons far more realistic. There was no real bad language, no real gruesome demonic possessions, no multi foreign language as there should of been. All in all LAME covers it. Season 2 is far worse, it flicks from one story line to another that you cannot keep track. It looks like it has been thrown together for a quick release supposedly because they thought they had a hit on there hands, but it is nothing short of dire. In the middle of the storyline you get a priest having a proper tongue kiss with a male Wildlife and Fisheries Office, a proper Broke Back Mountain moment that has no place in the show. The acting is very good but they are let down by a poor story line and dire script.

Season 1 was okay. I didn't think it was anything special, but Season 2 behind the great acting of John Cho and incredible story line, took it to a whole different level. I can't wait to see who they cast for season 3.

What a show! Just when you think that you know what is going on and what's going to be next, an unexpected happens. The casting choices are amazing, so all the characters are very interesting in both seasons. The creepiness and mystery are subtle, slowly built and never over the top. Being a Catholic myself, I love how the faith and church is portrayed - it's very well balanced with no moralizing, if it's clear what I mean, as English is not my native language and I'm not from Sweden :) By the way - I was absolutely sure, that I won't be watching this show when I heard it came out, but never say never and I'm so happy I gave it a chance.
