There's no really good reason that this series is still called Messiah, but this series is definitely getting sillier. I really like Ken Stott (have I missed his performance as Hitler yet? It got was talked about on Newsnight Review nearly a month ago!), although it seems that his policemen are always slightly frail and are too personally involved in the case. In this instance, the killer really got to work in a hospital where all sorts of fabulously complicated murders were committed. I don't know if it deliberately went OTT this time around since previous series as well as being trademark grisly, also stepped quite close to the mark of real incidents. This was more of a fairy tale. Still, when all's said and done, I hope they keep making them.
