Hosted by Terrence Stamp this original Showtme series had a devout following during it’s 1997-2000 44 episode run which is understandable given that it was the brainchild of Ridley and Tony Scott. Each episode used sexuality as a metaphor to explore hunger for something and generally, though the end result was decidedly not for family viewing, it was reasonably compelling, well written and well acted supernatural TV. It also unfailingly offered startling and provocative images that far outstripped what might be expected of a program of it’s kind. The fact that it has taken so long to rise back to the surface is a bit of a mystery considering the amount of first class talent on hand such as Timothy Spall and Daniel Craig. And though there aren’t lot of extras here there is a lot of meat for lovers of the macabre to chew on. This is supernatural TV at its simplest but also surprisingly elegant and given the adult subject matter reasonably restrained. Those looking for mere sex should look elsewhere. This is bound to make you think more than you would like.
