I really enjoyed this series. I watched it all at once in the compiled version, it was seem-less, kinda.Hurt tells Sutherland "The boy was only 8...." He just left him shortly after his wife died. the kid in the flashback is like 3-ish.I know I'm being a little critical.The major problem for me is the burn, Sutherland shows Hurt the burn inflicted on him as a child, but literally 45 seconds further it shows hurt's flashback character throwing his wife into an electric range top oven not the gas one "...held his hand over the flame until I burnt him inside and out." but overall it was very good.

Five stars just for the good plot twist. Oh, and for Sean Callery soul, I mean: sound.But to put both shooting fiction and religious fiction together is a problem, because for shooting actors need not to handle guns upside down to make the shooting obviously fictitious, but they need to do it with religious behavior to make it fictitious.And even some catholics will not grasp it, because the church is real, the confession spot is real, the vestment is real, and all the secondary doctrinal stuff are real. JUST what is really central, the real core of Christianism it put upside down, if not just OUT.So, watched the film and still need to know what? Ask ANY father, because not ONE of them would miss it is and behave like that, even if such kind of plot was real - because it not rarely IS.

Huge fan of 24 and of course Sutherland's acting in it, I was curious about The Confession, however it came to me as a surprise it was an actual mini show with just a few minutes of each chapter, that was unfortunate because i'd love to have seen more. I believe it could have been "milked" a lot more.Like some other user wrote in his review, it might have been better to make a movie out of it.So, for all those who are intrigued, if you like to see "Jack Bauer" in a different setting, if you like puzzle pieces falling together in the end, a little mind game and action you should watch, just don't be disappointed for just under an hour of entertainment.

May contain spoilers although I tried not to give anything away.A series of six minute episodes (six at the time of this writing) centering around a hit-man (Keifer Sutherland) and a priest (John Hurt) in a confessional.The hit-man had a profound experience that has him thinking about human nature, good and evil, right and wrong and freedom of choice. The priest, much to his dismay at first, is drawn into the discussion. Both men make valid arguments regarding their visions and experiences. The dialog is superb and there are moments of incredible suspense as the hit-man recounts his past.As always, Keifer Sutherland and John Hurt are both superb. You will not be disappointed.I'm looking forward to the rest of the episodes.
