Season 1 Review:
“Devil May Cry” effectively translates the game’s kinetic pacing with a short story that takes place over 48 hours or less for its eight-episode first season. It’s a frenzied, adrenaline rush as swift as the swords Dante wields in both pacing and style, best to digest in one easy binge.

Season 1 Review:
Devil May Cry is not without flaws, including horrendous use of CG, bad jokes, and predictable characters. And yet, Adi Shankar and Studio Mir craft a fun video-game adaptation that doubles as a deranged, bonkers, and bold homage to and indictment of '00s Americana.

Season 1 Review:
It's undeniably an acquired taste, and as someone who previously wasn't familiar with the game series, I completely understand why anybody would bail after a single half hour in the presence of the irritating man-child bounty hunter Dante (Johnny Yong Bosch). However, I must confess that the show managed to trigger my post-Y2K nostalgia, so indebted to the pop culture of that decade that it made me feel reverence for a video game I've never played in my life.

Season 1 Review:
The dialogue sometimes reaches a little too hard to find its edge or gets too caught up in winking references, including one to Iron Man 3 in which a character shrieks about flying armor. Not that the series often gives a lot of time to dwell on these downsides. It moves with lightning [s]peed, bouncing from one frenetic fight sequence to another.
