Anybody watching the Exorcist TV series ?

Gave the first episode a chance and liked what I'd seen so far.

Only downside, seems a bit less scary and creepy having an older girl possessed (too Evil Dead-ish imo)

I'll still keep watching though, at least a few more episodes.

I found it a little slow and the setups cliched (all the easy go-to's for Hollywood writers). Contemporary storytelling, I think, spends too much time setting up instead of getting the story going and revealing things. And, as a writer who's done a lot of reading on demonic possession for a book I started, it had an odd mix of getting things right and wrong, not always in the Hollywood way.

The most intriguing part for me was the Easter egg on the news article on exorcism the one priest reads online. Not sure if it was a throwaway or a setup for something else to be revealed later.

I enjoyed it. Didn't expect much, so I was pleasantly surprised. And yes, I was fooled by the twist.
