[ Apparitions (2008) SEASON 1 - BBC ]
AI Upscaled to Ultra HD
This is an old but very good TV show that tells the story of an exorcist priest. It’s quite hard to find these days.
AI PROCESSING
The source material is from an original DVD, with a native resolution of 720 x 576. Due to the low resolution, the AI algorithms had to create details where none existed. This may have made the image look strange at times. Also in very dark areas, some artifacts are visible.
However, the final quality of the material is very good. It’s a good opportunity to watch this great TV show at higher quality.
Why the source material was a DVD and not WEB-DL?
The WEB-DL releases that are available in good quality are from a cutted material, which, in my opinion, detract a little from the viewer’s experience.

TITLE
“Apparitions” is a supernatural drama series about a priest (Martin Shaw, “The Chief”) who is working to promote candidates for sainthood and becomes drawn into the world of exorcism as he discovers a dark battle between good and evil.
PLOT
Father Jacob Myers, a priest of the Roman Catholic Church, played by Martin Shaw, examines evidence of miracles to be used in canonisation but also performs exorcisms. As he learns, Jacob’s duties run deeper than just sending demons back to Hell: he later must prevent them all from escaping.
