La hora del diablo

I'll keep this review brief!

I've just finished binging this series and i can honestly say i was pleasantly surprised! It's a perfect mix of eerie and intriguing.

Directing and acting is top notch and the story is very engaging and intricate right from episode 1. There's plenty of unexpected twists and turns as the story develops but you must pay attention!

There are small details in each episode that are very relevant so bear that in mind before starting this series.

9/10 for me. One of the better tv shows released this year. Definitely worth a watch if you like a good psychological thriller!

I was expecting a halfway decent horror series, with maybe some psychological drama thrown in, but what I got instead was a near perfect blend of crime drama, horror, thriller, and science-fiction. To have the guts to try and blend all of these genres together and end up not giving too much time or too little of one or another was impressive. Seamlessly blended.

The story was completely and absorbing As a horror/crime series aficionado I've seen just about all of the best movies and series so it takes a lot to impress and surprise me, and let me just say I was impressed and surprised.

(10/10) for the child actor that played the Isaac. He was perfect.

WOW just finished this and can't stop thinking about it. It's a LONG time since a series has had this effect on me. A fantastic story and everything ties up in the end (as much as fiction can). Acting is exceptional, especially from Peter C and the child who plays Isaac. Be aware that the first few episodes won't make much sense, they keep moving time frames, certain characters come and go, situations change drastically and so on. Another reviewer has suggested to watch intently and not to scroll lazily at your phone. I concur, you really have to watch and take notice so as not to get confused and also to enjoy the wrap up in the last episode when it all falls sadly into place. I really loathed one character and can't say who without spoiling it but I'm sure you will know who I mean when you watch. I feel this series deserves a second viewing which I plan to do. Congratulations to all involved and especially to the writer/s for thinking outside the box.

When the first episode of the second season was available, I thought "I vaguely remember watching the first season, but I cannot remember what it was about. Oh well, must have not been very memorable". I decided to watch the second episode without rewatching the first one. I changed my mind after the first episode. My mind was screaming, begging me "Please remind me what the story is about!!!". I binge-watched season 1, then rewatch S02E01 and then binge-watched the second season. It was worth it.

The show gives Fringe/Counterpart/Dark vibe. It is not that demanding to grasp, but don't watch if you have attention span of a goldfish or IQ below 100.

Majority of reviews were written after the first season; bear in mind the S02E01 explains A LOT, especially matters considered by many as plot holes.

Some reviewers on here wouldn't know a good series if it slapped them on the face! This is a quality thriller all the way through that keeps you guessing and wraps it up with a decent ending. People say you have to pay close attention, surely if you are putting on a series or a film while doing the hoover or got your head stuck on Social Media on your phone then it's not worth watching, is complete trash and requires the attention span of a 3 year old.

Of course you need to pay attention to the detail and concentrate on it to be able to enjoy it and not get lost in the story this is telling. Pay attention as it actually requires some concentration on your part! As long as you do that, and stop looking at your phone at the same time for 5 seconds you might actually enjoy a good series for a change. Not going to give it away but it draws you in and doesn't let go till the very end. Brilliant!
