Rated - 5 starsSuperb

KEITH KING from Eastbourne , 07/10/2004

This was a superb thriller, gripping until the last minute. These TV dramas are so superior to so called Hollywood blockbusters. Highly reccommended.

As an avid reader of the Rebus books I was a bit sceptical as to wether the stories could be trasposed to TV but what can I say Ken Stott fantastic as the stories could have been written for him.Darker than Taggart,better than Prime suspect.

xanadu xanadu from London [Highly rated reviewer] , 08/05/2008

I saw this when it was first shown on tv and I had to see it again.This is excellent.Gripping drama that keeps you in suspense till the end.Better than any hollywood blockbuster.I cant think of a bad thing to say about it.Very gruesome but worth renting to see ,in my opinion,the best drama ever to come out of British television.

Rated - 4 starsHe's not the Messiah, he's a ...........

Christopher Bustin from Northampton, England , 04/02/2005

This being only my second foray into the Messiah universe, and the first episode wasn't my first. I was pleased to see that they have managed to keep the suspense throughout the series. Although that said it was the acting by a superbly cast line-up that made it so. Although I had worked out who dune it, and why by about half way through that still did not make the rest of the program any less enjoyable. Pretty much a must for all thriller fans. I can only hope the ones i've yet to see live up to the high standard.

Rated - 4 starsGood thriller

SianAJones from Gloucestershire , 09/11/2004

Great drama. I had seen this on TV and really enjoyed it. The book is very good too.

Well worth seeing if you like a good thriller, and if you hate films like 'Seven' then this is really not the film for you.
