Social Distancing: The Exorcist (Series) - #31

Synopsis: Angela Rance believes something is very wrong in her home. Plagued by increasingly frightening nightmares, she isn’t the only one in her family suffering: her husband Henry is slowly losing his mind, while their older daughter spends all of her time locked in her room and the younger one believes she hears strange noises coming from inside the walls. Desperate, she turns to Father Tomas Ortega – the progressive leader of their suburban Chicago parish – setting him on a collision course with old school Vatican soldier Father Marcus Brennan, as all their fates become entangled in a battle against an ancient force of evil.

My Take:   This show picks up decades after the events of the 1973 classic horror film – The Exorcist. If you’re looking for true horror, this show is it. The eerie and the terrifying breaks the scales in this one. The horror not only lies in the fact that after all these years, Reagan MacNeil/Angela Nance (Geena Davis) (and now her husband and children) are being haunted and terrorized by the demon that possessed her years earlier, but that Father Ortega (Alfonso Herrera) and his mentor, Father Keane (Ben Daniels) have to contend with their own past misjudgments and mistakes which may either make them vulnerable to possession or undermine their attempts to help Angela and her family.

The acting in this series is fantastic, and the chemistry between the actors is wonderful and most notably between Alfonso Herrera and Ben Daniels. All of their interactions popped. This show does a great job at capturing the essence of what old school horror used to be – spine-chilling. You’ll need to have nerves of steel IMO to watch this at night and in the dark. I always watched the episodes during the day. Or if at night with the lights on. The show only has two seasons, (20) episodes. With the first season extending the storyline of Reagan MacNeil from the movie, while the second season explores various demons who are haunting other poor souls. Again, great series that is the epitome of scary.
