    A.D. The Bible Continues

    ★½

    An extremely poor rendering of the history of the original "church" from Acts of the Apostles.
    The sheer number of poetic license is so bountiful that there hardly aren't room for any truth left.

    Crap.
    If a story teller back in the Iron Age would have shared something like this around the fire - they would have shunned him - and driven him from the tribe.

    Beck 01 - The Decoy Boy

    ★★★½

    Few serials are as ultra-commercialized as "Beck" . Considering that it all began with Sjöwall and Wahlöö's "The Firetruck that disappeared" - and then the series became a reality.

    Peter Haber is however a duly competent actor - and fits very well into the role Beck.

    To evaluate each single episode is too much, however. If you like a good mystery, most episodes of "Beck" is viewable, but to say that it is great art - that is to much.
