After a couple weeks off, Fox’s The Exorcist is back, but I can’t say it’s any better. This show is very polarizing. There are moments when it’s very intense and draws your attention in, but then that moment is followed by bad storytelling, stupid characters, or cringeworthy dialogue. Chapter 9 was no different.

Things are starting to heat up in Fox’s The Exorcist.

We not only got to see some gore and paranormal creepiness, but the writers gave us a twist that will only propel the show to new (and once thought unattainable) heights.
