Season 2 Review: The Devil's Hour never doubts itself for an instant, and even when it’s hard to keep things straight — which, I won’t lie, happened more than once for me — you’re never in doubt that it knows what it’s doing, that it’ll come to some kind of conclusion that feels right, even if it might not be totally satisfying.

Season 1 Review: 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 from Jessica Raine and Peter Capaldi, and you’ve got The Devil’s Hour.

Season 1 Review: The sinister image collage is evocative, but ultimately a show like The Devil’s Hour is only as good as its pay-off. 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. Read full review

Season 2 Review: It’s almost perversely complex, but there are times when the multi-layering works beautifully. Read full review

Season 2 Review: The two of them [Jessica Raine and Peter Capaldi] together are dynamite, and worth the price of admission. (This was also true in Season 1, but they get much better material to work with here.) Read full review

The Telegraph Jasper Rees

Season 1 Review: You’ll need your plot goggles on The Devil’s Hour. Hints are dropped in the viewer’s path, without any promise that picking up on them will enhance your understanding. ... Some may find that gratification is too teasingly postponed. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The Devil’s Hour fails to concisely pull all its puzzle pieces together and satisfy. There is a sense of kitchen sink in the construction, which may make audiences thinking twice before investing valuable time in this convoluted premise. Only elevated by the conviction of those involved, this distinctly average supernatural thriller from Prime Video feels like a wasted opportunity. Read full review

Excellently written minimalist slow burn sci-fi with excellent acting. Definitely something that deserves attention.

Distinctly average in terms of story, even though the acting and atmosphere are great. But the story is just kind of annoying, rather than being interesting. However, the final episode of the first season changes everything, and that's when it becomes riveting.
