Apparitions
Jan. 28th, 2009 12:27 pmFour reasons why I love Apparitions:
- Joe Ahearne and his brilliance in making us look hard at what is morally right and wrong in thrilling, intriguing stories. He's also not afraid to take on issues like rape and abortion although the lead is a priest.
- Martin Shaw as the exorcist priest who manages to be cool AND priestly while kicking ass
- The casting of black and Asian actors in the supporting characteres - alright they may be tokens but they're strong in their own right and they are there every ep.
- Last but not least, Joe Ahearne is a wonderful director and the whole series is beautifully shot, which considering the FX that's maligning other British series like Merlin and Demons is not a small feat.
I hope it gets commissioned for another series.
