Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

IncaWelCar In truth, any opportunity to see the film on the big screen is welcome.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

airsnob I love the previous reviews by Atheists about this show. How they loved it. I loved it too. The script, really got to me at times. In a good way. For instance when the Priest is talking to the rape victim and he asked her is she believes in God, and she tells him that the rapist took that from her. The Priest looks at her and says, " what a loss for god." I'm half way remembering, but there was no instant conversion, but because the acting is so on point, you believe him. I mean, this guy could possibly convert me if he existed! Love love love this show! I love it that they have mean Nuns, and wonderful ones. I love it that they have believers and non believers, and there is no shame or or making them out to be evil because of it. I got a glimpse of something beautiful for a few moments while watching. Very very good show. ! The acting superb, writing amazing. And this show goes there. For adults, not kids.

adanedfaer I had never heard of this miniseries until Chiller (cable) started announcing it. I have only seen the first two episodes and at the moment I simply cannot find any explanation to it's low ratings when it first aired (as I've read in the internet), except maybe the "timing" was inappropriate(??). Who knows! I have reasons to believe the idea was ahead of it's time, and it is now that it has relevancy. The actors, especially Martin Shaw (whom I had never met until now), are superb. The delivery is excellent. Flaws?? There surely are, but I have yet to ponder the four remaining episodes. I'll surely get back here as soon as that happens.

fudgefase I missed this one because I was out on the Thursday night, but I caught it on BBC's iplayer - and I'm glad I did. Another fantastic performance from Martin Shaw and another thoroughly believable character to add to his repertoire. Father Jacob is played with all the intensity and humanity we would all wish our religious leaders to have. Lots of excellent acting and an interesting - and slightly scary - storyline, keeps the attention. At one point, I actually had to stop the playback and go to make a cup of tea - an old trick to break the tension that I haven't used for several years when watching a TV programme... A good sign. Great start to what I hope will be a first rate series.My only concern is that it might be a bit of a one trick pony and I wonder how we're going to get past that. But for the time being, thumbs up and all systems go! A success.

Fran Walker I was really looking forward to this series after reading about it in the papers and hearing about how controversial it was going to be. I was hoping for something a bit more exciting to watch on a week night than the usual drivel. I must say I am a bit disappointed. I appreciate I have only seen the first episode, but in my opinion, if you are not grabbed at this point, then there's a mistake been made somewhere. The acting was 'okay', but it looked a little cheaply made, very TV, not at all what I was expecting. The story lines were a little silly and I didn't find it scary at all. As for being controversial, it didn't particularly offend or shock me, but then I'm not a practising Catholic.Hopefully things will pick up by next episode, but for me, if the first instalment fails to deliver, I don't hold up much hope...
