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

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: It’s great fun. Its many, many pieces – which if they gel will make it a great show in all sorts of other ways – are currently held together by Raine’s absolutely storming performance. Read full review

The IndependentAmanda WhitingOct 27, 2022
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: 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
