The central duo could stand to gain a little bit of comic book flair, especially if we’re supposed to accept that the various nightmares they deal with on a daily basis are as scary as Daimon and Ana insist they are. The show really is better off having exorcised any obvious comic book connections, but it struggles to find anything especially unique to fill that void.

Critics received five of 10 Helstrom episodes, and the fourth and fifth episodes actually contain a couple wrinkles I liked. ... Otherwise, Helstrom is nearly indistinguishable from other entries in the genre. ... Nothing here is good enough to make an investment in. Check out CBS' actually clever, actually scary Evil instead.

“Helstrom” is missing clear stakes and intriguing characters, too. The under-sketched world building, the superficial questions about matters of faith, the utter absence of any sense of fear or tension—“Helstrom” is too disjointed to be enjoyable and too inconsistent to be enthralling.

“Helstrom,” the series, is void of everything that defines “Helstrom,” the comic. This is an ongoing problem with comic book shows and movies: The endless search for respectability and gravity in stories about superpowered people fighting evil in spandex. Here, the search ends with pouting dourness and tedium.

Really nice tv-series. Definetely not the character of the Marvel comics but anyway a really good series. Nice characters, nice story.

The series is quite interesting! Well shot, goes out of its way not to feel like a generic Marvel-story! This exactly what I was waiting from a creepy fall TV series.

I don't get the harsh reviews for a perfectly passable show. It's better than a lot of stuff out there right now. It reminds me a lot of The Exorcist series, which I also liked a lot.

I thought this show was fine. Its not amazing by any means, but its a cool exorcist kinda deal show. To be fair, I had absolutely no idea this was a Marvel show. I guess that is why it could be getting hammered. Its not the Avengers by any means, but its a cool show

This show does not deliver even close to what it could have offered. It's rare moments of body horror are completely minimized and rendered not scary by the absolutely abysmal cast and dialogue.

Nothing like the comics I remember - even the new ones. Also not very entertaining. A completely forgettable show. I've heard it's been cancelled. Not surprised.
