Of the four plus one instalments of Messiah, I'd perhaps consider The Promise the weakest of the Four (I am not counting the fifth.) That said it is still an excellent piece of drama. It boasts a fantastic storyline, a fabulous set of characters, and some truly memorable scenes. Will I ever be able to forget that moment with the MRI machine? I think not. Those gory scenes were very prominent in many dramas from the early 2000's, when you remember Wire in the Blood, Waking the Dead etc, it seemed like each wanting to push the boundaries and show more, this trend seems to have eased somewhat these days.
Captivating performance from lead Ken Stott as always, his scenes with the beautiful Michelle Forbes always intense and engrossing. As big a star as Tom Ellis is today, I still see this as one of his best ever performances, he is superb throughout. Perhaps one or two of the other characters lacked a little bit of depth, but that's being picky.
A thrilling ending, you're kept guessing until the very last minutes, so much to keep you engaged.
Very, very good, definitely gory.
