The Second Coming

So my latest Netflix rental was an ITV movie about a loser from Manchester being revealed as the Son of God - and the consequences that result from that. I rented it because it was created by Russell Davies (who brought back Doctor Who) and starred Christopher Eccleston (the first of the new Doctors). It was better than I expected, even though I already respected the talent involved. The first half works better than the second half, but the second half ends well - again, better than I expected it to - which is no small matter since it's no doubt a fairly difficult task to come up with an ending for such a tale. Mark Benton is probably the best thing in the movie, but Eccleston does a very nice job with a difficult role. I am such a fan of his.
