Just gawd awful. Painfully slow pacing with absolutely ZERO pay off. Terrible script, terrible editing and oh sooo many clichés it isn't funny... not scary nor authentic nor true to any real life events. Intellectually deficient. There areJust gawd awful. Painfully slow pacing with absolutely ZERO pay off. Terrible script, terrible editing and oh sooo many clichés it isn't funny... not scary nor authentic nor true to any real life events. Intellectually deficient. There are only so many hours of viewing some actress with a blank look on her face that a viewer can stand before wanting to slap her to wake her out of OUR coma. One trick poney acting is soooooo boring. I mean REALLY REALLY REALLY boring. How many times must Hollywood portray small town or religious folk and their law enforcement as menacing, territorial ignorant (insert stereotype here) kind of paint by numbers character assassination nonsense. If one were to believe Hollywood, every small town religious community are akin to the inbred cannibalistic Chainsaw Massacre family. Phooey!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While "Devil in Ohio" has a talented cast it falls short for many reasons. Emily Deschanel's roll as a Psychiatrist is not believable because in the real world taking in a patient (even temporarily is unethical and not allowed in the medical field.) Based on true events the shows follows the predictability of every show or film that has preceded it. The inaccuracies of the symbols related to Mae's (played by Madeleine Arthur) cult are used too often in genres such as these. For example early in the series in Episode 3 entitled "Mother's Keeper" Mae rushes to wash off a symbol resembling one that became famous from the original "Blair Witch Project." With such talented actors and (what should have been a great plot from Daria Polatin, who wrote the book) based on true-life inspiration background was slow and wavered from it's main plot and became a series of jumbled ridiculousness. The acting is subpar, which is a shame especially with the name recognition of Emily Deschanel (Bones.) While Emily and Autor Polatin may be long time friends, it did not help tell the chilling story of what really happened in the Polatin's true-life experience. While many shows and movies tend to exaggerate to make it more interesting the exaggeration here lead to a fictionalized mess with predictability and bad acting. If you want to watch a story that has a true-life inspiration to it this is not it and you should pass on this weak Netflix Limited series. It is not captivating and can be boring and frustrating at times. In my opinion this series should end with just one season and then forgotten about forever!… Expand
