The Devil's Hour: Season 1 Reviews

Several corpses and authentic horror scenes round out this mystery that unfolds episode by episode, and that leaves you wanting more. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Apr 22, 2024

The series hooks you from the jump with a foreboding, contentious confrontation between a bruised and bloodied Lucy and a sinister, monologuing suspect in shackles (Peter Capaldi, Doctor Who).

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 12, 2023

This supernatural and psychological thriller featuring Peter Capaldi proves to be hard work in that first hour, making it difficult for audiences to persevere.

Full Review | Jun 8, 2023

This supernatural-tinged one is a doozy: suspenseful, well-acted and full of surprises.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 13, 2022

The Devil’s Hour is a binge-worthy offering from Prime Video that has the potential to be another memorable addition to the streaming platform’s library of content.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 7, 2022

… a taut thriller with shades of black humour thrown into the mix.

Full Review | Original Score: 14/20 | Dec 6, 2022

I, for one, am convinced enough by the early episodes to stick around and find out exactly how creepy a kid we’re dealing with this Halloween.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 5, 2022

It's perfectly watchable if all you're after is good old Halloween scare, but anything more and you might want to look elsewhere.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 5, 2022

All in all, The Devil's Hour is quite similar to other psychological dramas we've seen before. But what sets it apart from other tense dramas is the intriguing way it uses memory and flashbacks to connect viewers...

At six episodes, Hour is clever enough as you watch, a compelling WTF that toys with our perceptions as much as it does Lucy’s.

Full Review | Dec 5, 2022

It’s a testament to Moran’s layered writing and the excellent work by the cast across the board that flirting with self-awareness or unintentional parody is never a genuine concern.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 4, 2022

Certain stars seem to have aligned for this series and it’s assured, tense and intriguing from the outset.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 3, 2022

Take your average police-involved murder mystery and amplify it with creepy goings-on of both the real and imagined variety, questions of deja vu and busted memory, spooky kids, and some terrific performances... and you’ve got The Devil’s Hour.

Full Review | Nov 2, 2022

The logic is not always sound, but I nevertheless found A Devil’s Hour to be strangely riveting, from Raine’s performance to the creepy kid, to the chemistry between Lucy and Ravi, and the way that Capaldi wraps it all up.

Full Review | Nov 2, 2022

The Devil’s Hour has everything it needs to be a chilling thriller this Halloween. However, it still remains to be seen how successfully it can stitch its collection of ideas and horror tropes together.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 1, 2022

The Devil’s Hour is an ambitious mix, combining elements of the supernatural with straight-ahead crime while bringing to mind all kinds of spooky-kid stories, from The Omen to The Sixth Sense.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 31, 2022

The brilliant cast compensates for the series' shortcomings. Jessica Raine dodges tropes (perhaps even elevates) in her role of the grieving woman. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 28, 2022

... The series’ strength is in presenting an ordinary world tinged with nightmares and the possibility of encroaching madness.

Full Review | Oct 28, 2022

It’s great fun. Its many, many pieces – which if they gel will make it a great show in all sorts of other ways – are currently held together by Raine’s absolutely storming performance.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 28, 2022

You’ll need your plot goggles on The Devil’s Hour.
