The Exorcist
Father Tomas Ortega is the new face of the Catholic Church: progressive, ambitious and compassionate. He runs a small, but loyal, parish in the suburbs of Chicago. Father Marcus Keane is a modern-day Templar Knight, an orphan raised since childhood by the Vatican to wage war against its enemies. Marcus is everything Tomas is not: relentless, abrasive and utterly consumed by his mission – and he constantly butts heads with his adversary within the church, Father Bennett.
If you're a fan of gripping dramas that blend elements of horror, mystery, and fantasy, then look no further than *30 Coins* (*30 monedas*), the Spanish television sensation created by Álex de la Iglesia. Premiering on HBO Europe in November 2020, this series has captured the imaginations and hearts of viewers with its thrilling narrative and captivating performances. The story revolves around Father Vergara, an exorcist with a troubled past, who finds himself embroiled in a sinister conspiracy linked to one of the infamous thirty pieces of silver paid to Judas Iscariot for his betrayal of Jesus Christ. With two seasons already available and a third on the horizon, there's never been a better time to add *30 Coins* to your BetaSeries account.
At its core, *30 Coins* explores themes of faith and redemption against a backdrop filled with supernatural phenomena. The show is set in the picturesque town of Pedraza, Spain, where strange occurrences begin to unfold after one of Judas's coins resurfaces. Father Vergara is portrayed brilliantly by Eduard Fernández—known for his previous roles in *Criminal: Spain*—who brings depth to this complex character seeking solace from his dark past while facing relentless forces that threaten not only him but also humanity itself. Joining him are Megan Montaner as Elena—a determined veterinarian—and Miguel Ángel Silvestre as Paco—the naive yet earnest mayor—who become key allies as they delve deeper into the mysteries surrounding their village.
The series masterfully fuses elements typical in horror stories with rich cultural references that give it uniqueness and intrigue. Each episode unfolds new layers that keep you guessing about what will happen next. You’ll find yourself on edge during moments when Father Vergara confronts demonic entities or navigates treacherous alliances within the Vatican. It's reminiscent of acclaimed shows like *The Exorcist*, which similarly examines themes revolving around faith under duress while including thrilling supernatural elements.
