Thundermonkey Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Anyone catch this on Syfy? I've taped it and watched the first 30 seconds. Will probably be shite but interested to see what they can do with it and if it will work over a full season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieT1314 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I enjoyed it. Love the exorcist movie and spotted a few nods to it in the first episode. Def gonna keep watching this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Some good moments but overall thought it was quite poor. That opening bit was tremendous though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearwithme Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I thought the first episode was well done, a good opener. I hear it gets better.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antlion Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I'm enjoying this (the actor playing the English priest is good). But I can't help but feel that Spoiler Chris MacNeil as seen in the original would ever exploit Regan's exorcism for cash, no matter her desperation. I love that they've tied it in to the original story, but as a huge fan of the original novel and movie, Chris would never behave as this show claims she did. I also can't buy Sharon Gless in the old Ellen Burstyn role. I can see why they didn't try for Linda Blair - as that would have ruined the reveal of "Angela" being Regan - but they should have tried desperately to get Burstyn or Shirley MacLaine in as Chris.

Thundermonkey Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 I'm really enjoying this. Some unconvincing acting in the early episodes turned out to be spot on after the big reveal (should have seen it coming). Ben Daniels is brilliant and it's pretty brutal in places but I have one MAJOR concern: It's just not scary. Not great for what's meant to be a direct sequel to the original.
