Description
The series is based on Phil Rickman's "Merrily Watkins" series of books, of which "Midwinter of the Spirit" is the second in the series. This series follows country vicar Merrily Watkins, who is one of the few women priests working as an exorcist in the UK. When a grisly murder takes place in her local area, the police come calling for her assistance.
Cast
Production
The show was filmed in Herefordshire. Cathedral interiors were however filmed in Chester. David Threlfall consulted with an exorcist (who author Phil Rickman put him in contact with) for advice on his role.
Reception
The Daily Telegraph says that it's a "surprisingly faithful adaptation" while being "exceptionally creepy without ever venturing beyond the bounds of the credible". The Guardian newspaper reviewed the show by saying it "is not a slow build", and that "it dives straight in", and it adds that "it’s still a lot of fun, just the thing to both cheer and chill as the nights close in."
