The opening episode was a slow-burner but interesting. However, it seemed to lose pace after the 5th episode and get a bit silly. Nice twist (albeit a little convoluted) that the mother turned out actually to be 'Regan' - the young girl who was possessed in the original film - but now assuming another name.
The CGI was good and worked well, but the cast were not perfect choices especially Geena Davis who seems to have had so much Botox that you can't really tell what facial expression she's trying to make. One of the sisters seemed to be a homage to Lindsay Lohan when she was fit and Alan Ruck just kept reminding me of when he was 'Cameron' out of Ferris Bueller.
The English priest was very good - Father Marcus Keane played by Ben Daniels spoke as if he'd been scripted by a Brit which was refreshing. Also he reminded me of a slightly taller Bob Mortimer.
