Only critcism - a little too much police/crime thriller and not enough scary Dr M. Prompted me tonight to go back another 5 years and watch 'Passion of Joan of Arc' (sat in my DVD cupboard for over a year and never watched). I can't believe how good it was - it completely lived up to its reputation. Finally watched 'Testement of Dr M' last night and thought it was great – made me want to watch M again.
