The GuardianJack SealeOct 27, 2022
Season 1 Review: The chemistry between Lycurgo and Parkes is immediate, her mix of playful forthrightness and fearful vulnerability coiling tightly around his combination of wild rage and growing inner strength. They give The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself a sweet humanity but, when its claws are out, its wickedness delivers on the promise of its name. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself looks and sounds great. ... There’s a minor effort to critique the Western prejudice towards order and orthodoxy, but really this is a show about swearing, blood and sex. Read full review

Season 1 Review: We’re not completely sure that the story in The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself won’t get muddled again like it was at the beginning of the first episode. But we have faith that it will keep things focused on Nathan and his attempt to keep evil at bay. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The Bastard Son and the Devil himself sits closest to is Shadow and Bone – also from Netflix – in that fairly cliched young adult fantasy tropes are elevated by some snappy writing by an excellent scribe and a well cast group of likeable actors. Read full review
