The show does seem really strange at first but I actually strangely fell in love with it plus it is made by Ashley Pharoh and Matthew Graham my two favourite writers ever.
Really wish Amazon or Netflix would pick this series back up. It had a cliffhhanger that needed resolving. It was REALLY well cast and shot. It was written by the same people as Life on Mars. It was filmed in York. It had every ingredient that makes TV brilliance, but it was dropped.
Thanks for posting. I'm a big fan of Tobias Menzies and have a hard time finding much of his work. Stumbled upon your channel and have subscribed. This potentially cheesy story line is given a subtle treatment with good actors and, I hope, continues to deliver interesting stories. I must check out the 'roguish DI' referred to in the previous post. Again, thank you for uploading.
Where did Tobias Menzies learn to play such bastards so well??? Wickedness with glee. And he looks at the audience every time he does something really shitty. It is disconcerting!
I loved this series, why did it end? Even though I've only ever been able to watch it on TH-cam. It was a thing of beauty and charm, something as special as the city of York itself. Very entertaining also and great plots about human beings and I loved all the actors. Samuel West is a favourite of mine, he was also great for example in Inspector Lynley, Chinese Walls (another series I wish had continued, why did it end?)
Too funny. Good angels who come down to earth to become lawyers to protect unjustly accused and a fallen angel who prosecutes. Sometimes their huge wings appear (white for good and black for bad) behind them when they talk to each other. The fallen angel is lots of fun (Tobias Menzies) and the good angels are rather dull in comparison. Law & Order this ain't.
Well.....Thank you so ,for moving us from a series, with only 14 episodes that left us crying for more....to this delightful angelic show! Very smooth transition...and I have ceased weeping,at my perceived loss! But,I do still miss that new roguish DI.that had just come to 55degrees....so,if you happen to have something else,with him featured....\i would love seeing it...Thanks again!
if poeple could see the outcome of their descisions they would act differently, ahhhh but that would not be free will woujld it? Great episode but where did that come from, the idea that free will only exists if you have no concept of consequences, Be willing to experience anything and dont do anything that others are not willinug to experience, one has to have rules to live by, and by agreeing to them one is perforce exercising free will.
The fallen angels should respect the ones that kicked their asses out of heaven. The writers poetic licence to create conflict in these stories forgets that fact. Still interesting challenges that people have free will to choose the right or wrong path pleases me in this series and that angels don't interfere. Although God can send them to confort and strengthen faithful earthling mortals. 👽
Anyone who reads the Bible will see the absurdity of this movie. Angels are here all the time, but not visible. So they would never be surprised at anything they see here. Also, they live in a perfect world, and as our earth is so deeply flawed with horrific sins occurring at every moment, heavenly beings would not be enamored of this place. They would more likely feel distaste and be repelled by all the people who want nothing to do with The Living God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, The Commander of Heaven's Armies.
The fact that many people have been side tracked by the wheat, corn, maize, grain issue , featured in the opening scene, speaks volumes about this load of rubbish.
The word 'corn'' can be used to describe different grain crops - so in the UK it could typically be oats, barley or wheat. The word could also just mean the individual seed itself. So a very old Scots / English song tells the story of 'John Barleycorn' , or the barley seed, from planting to brewing. In the UK maize is usually known as 'sweetcorn', and sometimes 'maize' .
Two nations divided by a common language and all that - "corn" simply means "grain" if you go back to its Latin root and has been used to refer to the dominant grain in many cultures, hence in English English it often means "wheat". What North Americans call corn, we'd usually call "sweet corn" or "maize".
angelnorthA1 thank you for the lesson miss smarty- boots! i had to look it up.". Chiefly British Any of various cereal plants or grains, especially the principal crop cultivated in a particular region, such as wheat in England or oats in Scotland." so i take it you are a from the uk? very good!...when we yanks hear cornfield we have visions of a field of sweet corn stalks that are over our heads..where the the scarecrow comes to life and commits murder and mayhem in Halloween slasher movies!
+Fussinated The maze in the US was originally called indian corn. It was later shortened to just corn. The English thought it to be inferior and only fit for indians. Every common language has different words for the same thing. A person from Maine speaks differently than one from Mississippi. The same can be said for different areas of Britain.
see c a campbell's reply. I can vouch for his veracity. Think of the nursery rhymes eg the sheeps' in the meadow, the cows' in the corn (that is, wheat)...
Lawyers as angels -- too unbelievable An engineer died and reported to the pearly gates. An intern angel, filling in for St. Peter, checked his dossier and grimly said, "Ah, you're an engineer; you're in the wrong place." So the engineer was cast down to the gates of hell and was let in. Pretty soon, the engineer became gravely dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and began designing and building improvements. After a while, the underworld had air conditioning, flush toilets, and escalators, and the engineer was becoming a pretty popular guy among the demons. One day, God called Satan up on the telephone and asked with a sneer, "So, how's it going down there in hell?" Satan laughed and replied, "Hey, things are going great. We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next." God's face clouded over and he exploded, "What? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake; he should never have gotten down there; send him up here." Satan shook his head, "No way. I like having an engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping him." God was as mad as he had ever been, "This is not the way things are supposed to work and you know it. Send him back up here or I'll sue." Satan laughed uproariously, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?"
It's hard to take the court scenes seriously with them all wearing those ridiculous horsehair wig "hats," with the two silly little tails hanging in back.
Yeah knowing that people have the freedom to think differently to you must be really hard to bear, mustn't it? Although I guess that your God is too busy giving AIDS to babies in underdeveloped parts of africa to give a shit about this series so I guess we're fine after all :/
TM singing that little bit of "Bad Moon Rising" is epic. He has a great voice (see "Forget me not" for the 'Nun Song') and this role is sooo him. ;)

Genesis 6. FALLEN ANGELS!
My brethren in Christ know what this is really about.
Bruh. Monica and Tess were friends with the angel of death. Either enjoy the show or don't.
Thank you so much for posting this!

Tobias is a tremendous actor, and I wish more of his work was out on the mainstream for people to see.
Tobias is clearly too good of an actor for this type of show, and several productions he's been in, but he's having the time of his life!
Thanks so much. Really like that music.

You may like "Highway to Heaven".
Tobias Menzies is a fallen angel... Why am I not surprised? =^__^=
He is the perfect person for this role. He plays evil so well. ;)

this is England...wheat is called corn in England...corn is called sweet corn
Thanks!! Love this!!! (and i'm not religious at all)
Tracy Brooks We’re the best at appreciating religious subjects or theological notions, clearly & w/out all the believer’s din w/in. 🤓
powerful movie
British have the best tv shows.
Actually when i was a kid in the UK that is exactly what we used to call a field of wheat as maize was very rare as a crop then
Totally Excellent show, different but I like it...
Rhea Wilmore The show was total crap and should never have got any further than the pile of rubbish it was oops pilot!
Dire.

Great episode but where did that come from, the idea that free will only exists if you have no concept of consequences, Be willing to experience anything and dont do anything that others are not willinug to experience, one has to have rules to live by, and by agreeing to them one is perforce exercising free will.
Thank you really enjoyed ...Susie from uk

It's...complicated.
this was a great series, they should repeat it.
Anyone who reads the Bible will see the absurdity of this movie.
Angels are here all the time, but not visible.
So they would never be surprised at anything they see here.
Also, they live in a perfect world, and as our earth is so deeply flawed with horrific sins occurring at every moment, heavenly beings would not be enamored of this place. They would more likely feel distaste and be repelled by all the people who want nothing to do with The Living God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, The Commander of Heaven's Armies.
Can't find a single source for this show that has any closed captions, it's frustrating.
Why every angels carry a trench coats O.O ?
(sorry for bad english i hope you understand )
Because they're in the UK and it rains a lot there.
The fact that many people have been side tracked by the wheat, corn, maize, grain issue , featured in the opening scene, speaks volumes about this load of rubbish.
Angels on Earth, the last language they'd speak is English. They would speak some more sensual language like Spanish or Italian.
Will some explain why angles need to speak at all
What is the choral song at 22:52?
bist du bei mir, Bach.
"...in a cornfield..." *camera pans over what is clearly wheat*
Yep that's what we called corn before there was much Maize grown in the UK............Most Brits would still say it's corn.
corn is wheat your corn is maize in america
The word 'corn'' can be used to describe different grain crops - so in the UK it could typically be oats, barley or wheat. The word could also just mean the individual seed itself.

"To get giggy giggy
with the natives."
How racist is that
statement.
Devils advocate methinks.....
Corn field looks like a wheat field.

What North Americans call corn, we'd usually call "sweet corn" or "maize".

Ah! so it is a generic term rather than specific name of a particular grain. Thank you for the information.

For STARTERS that is not a cornfield!!!

It is, in the UK, where what you Americans call corn is called maize.
+Vaska X Tumir: Why do you assume I'm American? Have never called corn maize. Assumptions based on what?

I'm watching for Tobias but not happy with the Castiel rip-off.
you guys have been hemmed up on that island for too long
Fuck off
It is unlikely that you will find many lawyers in Heaven. I got a kick out of it!
Hm...The wings OVER the clothes...
Lawyers as angels -- too unbelievable
An engineer died and reported to the pearly gates. An intern
angel, filling in for St. Peter, checked his dossier and grimly
said, "Ah, you're an engineer; you're in the wrong place."
So the engineer was cast down to the gates of hell and was let
in. Pretty soon, the engineer became gravely dissatisfied with
the level of comfort in hell, and began designing and building

Tom resembles a young Obama..
Here's a stretch.
It's hard to take the court scenes seriously with them all wearing those ridiculous horsehair wig "hats," with the two silly little tails hanging in back.
Well written, too bad it's put towards SO much blasphemy--*sigh*. Sadly, I'm not at all surprised, just saddened...
+MissJessyeNorman Have you ever seen "South Park"? That's a million times more blasphemous than this show.
Don't think Gods' feelings will be hurt much by this, he has more serious problems to work out. Oh look he isn't to bothered by those either.....
Are you serious? This is the 21st century.
Yeah knowing that people have the freedom to think differently to you must be really hard to bear, mustn't it? Although I guess that your God is too busy giving AIDS to babies in underdeveloped parts of africa to give a shit about this series so I guess we're fine after all :/
