Possession is just the Beginning. Based on creator Robert Kirkman and Paul Azaceta’s electrifying comic comes this gripping, intensely terrifying series about a man who has been plagued by demonic possession all his life. Tormented by the horrors of a past that destroyed his childhood, loner Kyle Barnes (Patrick Fugit) is recruited to help perform exorcisms by Reverend Anderson (Philip Glenister), a small-town preacher with his own personal demons. Meanwhile, although Kyle’s sister (Wrenn Schmidt) attempts to connect with him, Kyle faces judgment and rejection from his remaining family members. Torn between a need for isolation and the desire to help others, Kyle embarks on a journey to fi nd answers and obtain the normal life he has yearned for. And what he discovers could change his fate - and the fate of the world - forever. (20th Century Fox AU)

S01E01 70 %, S01E02 60 %. In the first episode, Wingard was sufficiently alluring, but the second episode, with someone else behind the wheel, was a step backwards.

The adapted original is based on "real" exorcist horror movies of the 70´s, and the series adaptation seems to be based on the same that is, the characters (great cast of Glenister and Fugit and perfect setting in the middle of nowhere where everyone knows each other) and the captivating, chilling atmosphere of tangible concern. On top of that it´s packed with Ross's (anti) musical accompaniment. So far, the introduction rather promises big things than delivers them but it still has the right atmosphere, uncompromisingness and undeniable genre potential. So, there´s a lot to be excited about. That´s for sure.
