I've always enjoyed a story with a clever twist – it doesn't have to be a shocking one, it just has to be clever.
When it's been there all along, looking you in the face – and you never even realized it – this is clever writing. The Verger is, for me, the most memorable episode of the entire series in this regard.
It's a quiet, subtle, almost slow pace of extreme simplicity and modesty; indeed it's not trying to be anything more. But if one can stick with it through to the end of the story the way the twist is handled so very very clever – indeed I've actually found myself showing it to people who I thought could benefit from the simple yet poignant philosophical message, to me it's a story with real meaning to it and makes so much sense.
The characters are thoroughly believable and likable, while the evil-doers in it may seem a little contrived I think this is intentional so as to simply illustrate who they are and what they represent and not to take form the main story – to simply paint the ice-bergs in the sea as it were.
I'd highly recommend this to anyone who wants a simple, poignant and brilliantly clever story in a short and concise package, indeed it's by far the most memorable episode of this entire series for me and perhaps of my top 10 anywhere.

This is really outstanding - one could perhaps compare it somewhat to "Medium" however it's darker and perhaps with a sadder tone; very well put together with superb, believable performances that you probably feel more than just see.
The characters reach out to you rather than just appear on the screen; it explores the notion of the "unwanted special gift" well and explore ridicule, disbelief and skepticism without falling for the normal clichés that we so often expect in this kind of feature.
The stories have original structure and the ongoing component is wholly necessary and not trivial; I was impressed.
The worst part is that there are only five episodes fortunately I feel the ending was wide enough open to easily permit a 2nd season to come along, I really hope they do this as it has at least the promise that Medium has and perhaps a bit more in some ways.
Easily 5 stars out of 5 for me if you get the chance to see it do so, very rewarding viewing.

Interesting film, I very much enjoyed the clever twist at the end (which I admit I wasn't expecting until close to the very end).
Relying on mysterious early-Christian mythology (a common theme in several recent films) it pulls the tie-in off fairly well and doesn't seem too outlandish or over the top in a supernatural sense.
Christina Ricci as always engenders feeling for her likable character and manner; as an American she seems a little strangely out of place in the English countryside setting but not overly so.
I'm quite Comfortable giving this film 8.5-9/10 and would consider it above films such as Lost Souls, etc. I've seen some compare it to the 6th Sense but I can't say I really agree with that comparative assessment myself.
