 "From the Press Release: “THE EXORCIST” is a propulsive psychological thriller following two very different priests tackling one family’s case of horrifying demonic possession. FATHER TOMAS ORTEGA (Alfonso Herrera) is the new face of the Catholic Church: progressive, ambitious, and compassionate. He runs a small but loyal parish in the suburbs of Chicago. He has no idea that his quiet life is about to change forever. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, another priest finds himself locked in a life-and-death struggle with evil. FATHER MARCUS BRENNAN (Ben Daniels) is a modern-day Templar Knight, an orphan raised since childhood by the Vatican to wage war against its enemies. Father Marcus is everything Father Tomas is not: relentless, abrasive, and utterly consumed by his sacred mission. Caught in the middle is the RANCE family, members of Tomas’ parish. On the surface they’re a normal, suburban family, but all is not as it seems in this household. The patriarch, HENRY RANCE (guest star Alan Ruck), is slowly but surely losing his mind. Eldest daughter KATHERINE (Brianne Howey) has become a recluse who refuses to leave her room. Her younger sister, CASEY (Hannah Kasulka), thinks she’s hearing strange noises coming from inside the walls. And mother ANGELA (Academy Award and Golden Globe winner Geena Davis) has been plagued by recurring nightmares, each more frightening than the last. Angela believes there is something in the house, a demonic presence, growing stronger by the day. Desperate, she begs Father Tomas for help, unwittingly setting the naïve young priest on a collision course with Father Marcus. Separately, each faces an insurmountable task, but together they become the only hope against an evil force that has been mobilizing for centuries." Looks pretty good so far... |

I really don't see how this won't get old or repetitive by the third episode.

I know it didn't premier yet, but I'm still amazed it hasn't been cancelled yet.

Might be fun, I don't know. I'll give it a shot. Now that I'm officially done with Fear the Walking Dead, I have an open slot.

Haha ✶April✶ . You should at least give it a shot. Hah, even if I did that, I'd only be listening to it because my hands would be over my eyes the whole time, so I'm not sure it'd be worth it or not.  |

It's all good ✶April✶ , lol. I watched Trilogy of Terror as a kid and the Zuni fetish doll story made me run out of the house screaming. True story. |

Fox has announced that they'll be renewing this for a second season... ew.com/tv/2017/05/12/the-exorcist-renewed/Sadly, I only got to see an episode or two of the first season, so much else going on. I did like the episodes I saw though. Maybe when the second season starts, I'll binge watch last season a few days before. |

The first season was nice, and had some good connections to the original film. I think the second season was better though since it didn't have to worry about connecting itself to any of the films.
Geena Davis is great, as is the cast rounding out her family in the first season.
The lead priest is kind of bland, but . . . He's not awful. His exiled mentor is way more interesting.
FOX cancelled this after the second season. Wasn't too bummed though. Lasted longer than I thought.
