Really Surprised!

Expected more

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I really did like this series Messiah, the drama the cast just fantastic. The ploy the suspense everything. in comparison of other dramas per example of American drama big difference. British drama is great so real so close to people humane and the music used in this series is wonderful. I would like to know the title of the opera played in the episode 3 or two, I do not remember. I think it was the episode where the daughter avenge her father who was wrongly accused. She starts killing the dearest person to the people she saw them responsible of her father situation. Can any one tell me the name of the opera or the aria . I really did like it and I cannot remember the title of that beautiful aria, I will be waiting to see if any one can help me here.

Although a tad too bloody for my taste, I was able to overcome the quick factor to stay with the story... right up to the end, which seemed totally forced and not at all in keeping with the character of DI Metcalfe. The guy who turns his brother in for murder would NEVER drive away from a hit and run... especially after he sees the kid he hit *move*.And the kid would never grow up to enlist in the police dept. and end up in the same squad as Metcalfe.Plus, it gave me nightmares. If you've got a low tolerance for gratuitous blood & gore, and an advanced degree of skepticism, avoid this movie at all costs. I wish I had my 2.5 hours back.

Messiah was compulsive viewing from start to finish. The story centred on apparently random murders of men in London in various gruesome ways. DCI Red Metcalfe (Ken Stott)has to find the truth which, to his surprise, is a little closer to home than he might think.Gripping drama and Ken Stott was brilliant. Hopefully we have not seen the last of DCI Red Metcalfe.

When I read the synopsis for "Messiah" in the television guide, I was not prepared for what was in store. The story follows DCI Metcalfe trying to solve a case of grisly murders being taken out across London. He soon realises a pattern, there is a serial killer on the loose, killing people with similar names and jobs to those of the 12 Apostles and their killings are identical to their matching Apostle. The two part series kept me right on the edge of my seat, with Metcalfe closely pursuing the killer, but always missing him within a couple of seconds and discovering the gruesome mess he has left behind of his ill-fated victim. "Messiah" is sure to cause a great deal of controversy, but nonetheless it is the greatest piece of drama the BBC has shown in a long time.
