5.0 out of 5 stars Messiah 1 - Absolutely Fantastic Drama!, 11 Nov 2005
I missed Messiah 1 when it first came out on TV, but really enjoyed the subsequent series. This review refers to an Amazon rental, so I don't have the beef about the rip-off release that other reviewers have. The storyline is in the best traditions of the very best the BBC can offer, and the twists and turns that develop are enthralling as the gruesome murders unfold and continue. Ken Scott is superb as the disturbed CI Red Metcalf, supported by a who's who of big TV names (Edward Woodward, Gillian Taylforth et al). I for one did not guess the real serial killer until the unveiling. The production standards are very high for a programme made for TV, and equal to most general release movies - decomposing bodies, gruesome crucifictions, severed heads etc are all convincing. I would give this 6 stars if I could, and can't wait to watch Messiah 2 - the next disc on my Amazon rental list! Watch it - you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, 7 Sep 2005
what an unbelievably good series, after being converted to the Messiah series by friends just in time for the fourth series recently shown on BBC television. It was a must to go to Amazon and pick up series one and two.

No plot give always and I will recommend going back and watching it all over again. Not to say its hard to follow, but some of the subtle scripting works on so many levels once you know who it is perpetrating the murders.

Great, Rent it now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great British series, 3 Mar 2006
By cazmac (Australia) - See all my reviews
I bought this DVD without having seen it or knowing a great deal about it other than the reviews I read on Amazon. It is simply another brilliant British crime/drama series and am again grateful that such intelligent product exists amongst such worldwide garbage that is screened these days. Ken Stott et al are totally believable in their roles and the decision to make his wife deaf gives the relationship he has professionally and personally much more scope and range. This is just a great, intelligent and very interesting series and I am very happy that I bought it. It has never screened here and I just hope it is made available for it to be so in the future. Hurry up with series 3&4 please as I need to see more of this series as the lack of integrity in alot of what is screened on tv these days is chokingly bad!!

4.0 out of 5 stars quite exciting
I enjoyed watching Messiah. Convincing actors, interesting plot, but all in all a bit too constructed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rip Off
I agree with the first review that although the program itself was good the fact that you cannot buy Series 2 without once again buying Series 1 is a cheek. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Where's the seperate Series 2 release?
First of all, the 2 stars are for the quality of the programmes - both are actually worth four stars each, as they are excellent dramas. Read more
