Critics Consensus
Creepy and well-acted, The Devil's Hour is a superlative horror series that will have viewers doubting reality as much as its haunted characters.
Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News This supernatural-tinged one is a doozy: suspenseful, well-acted and full of surprises. Rated: 3.5/4 Dec 13, 2022 Full Review Amanda Whiting Independent (UK) 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. Rated: 4/5 Dec 5, 2022 Full Review Emma Loffhagen London Evening Standard It's perfectly watchable if all you're after is good old Halloween scare, but anything more and you might want to look elsewhere. Rated: 3/5 Dec 5, 2022 Full Review Rafael Sánchez Casademont Fotogramas Several corpses and authentic horror scenes round out this mystery that unfolds episode by episode, and that leaves you wanting more. [Full review in Spanish] Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Jenny Nixon Common Sense Media The series hooks you from the jump with a foreboding, contentious confrontation between a bruised and bloodied Lucy and a sinister, monologuing suspect in shackles (Peter Capaldi, Doctor Who). Rated: 4/5 Jul 12, 2023 Full Review Martin Carr Radio Times This supernatural and psychological thriller featuring Peter Capaldi proves to be hard work in that first hour, making it difficult for audiences to persevere.

Tobias K Mixing a bag of a couple genres (moving from a family drama to a horror story before embracing the police starting their serial killer hunt) this show is a proof to why excellent writing matters so much. Throwing in great performances by Raine and Capaldi (his presence is strongly felt, although he remains in a narrative function most of the episodes), I suddenly found myself wondering, why I have avoided thriller series for so long. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Maryse M From the opening scene it is evident that everyone involved got the assignment. Brilliantly edited with highly creative scene transition that move the story along effectively between timelines. Great attention to details throughout, little things that complete every scene. There is the distinct impression that we are watching a narrative with a forgone conclusion, that season 1 has been created with a definite end and not written as a pilot with subsequent seasons to be written if funded. The entire cast is solid, no weak performance. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Jakob F An engrossing, spine-chilling, labyrinthine rollercoaster of a rabbit hole, the 1st season fashions a trailblazing fantasy-oriented interpretation of a longstanding sci-fi trope, employing second-to-none editing to throw the mind-boggling serial-killer mystery into overdrive as it’s unreliable narrator’s reality progressively unravels till they reach an earth-shattering revelation. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review Thaniel W This series is probably the best ever made, and is criminally underrated. I'm not saying anything new here, but I got an account on RT just to post this review, because the show deserves all of the flowers. In order to properly enjoy this series, payment is requested in the form of giving yourself over to confusion, and not getting too distracted. Every strange flash of "what was that glitch image?" has some sort of weight in the overall story. By the end of episode one, you're confused. By the end of episode two, you're confused and invested. I could go on, but you get the general idea. But really words can't do justice to the payoff. It's not "all the puzzle pieces fit, and it's neat, and there's a solution" - it's more like a dunk into cold water. When I finished season 1, I cried until I was just snot and tears and nothing left. Then I rewatched episode 1, and found there was a whole new level of snot and tears. Lines that meant nothing to me, cheap dialogue to help you get to know a character, suddenly cut like icicles. I've not been so emotional about a show in a very long time. Absolutely 110%. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Lynne M Absolutely brilliant. The mystery is at exactly the right level to be intriguing and interesting, the plot develops into a delightful complexity. An absolute must watch for anyone who loves a good solid story.
