Apparitions (2008)

Overview

Apparitions delves into the life of Father Jacob Myers, a Roman Catholic priest portrayed by Martin Shaw. Charged with investigating miracles for canonization and performing exorcisms, Jacob's role transcends mere demon expulsion; he faces the challenge of preventing malevolent forces from breaking free. This BBC drama distinguishes itself by offering a more authentic representation of exorcism and demonic possession, aligning closely with Church doctrine. It intertwines historical narratives from Christianity and other Abrahamic faiths, suggesting that the battle between Heaven and Hell is far from over. Joe Ahearne pens this thought-provoking series.
