La hora del diablo

Peter Capaldi makes for a very creepy sinister character indeed, as does the boy with no emotions.

I loved the way this show told it's story, it never felt slow or rushed. And I didn't really know exactly where it was going until the very end. All the cast were excellent.

There seems to be too many shows out there today that are predictable or treat their audience like idiots, thankfully The Devil's Hour is neither. The show asks you to follow what is happening and leaves you to figure it out as it progresses. At times it had the feel of supernatural dread to it, at other times a clever whodunnit.

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!

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.

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!

You are going to have to watch the first five episodes - which I each rate with a decent 7/10 - to be able to watch the real gem: i.e. The sixth episode. That sixth episode is just so extremely awesome, that it alone deserves a 10/10.

It is the first time that I have ever watched such an "assymmetric" show. The difference between episodes 1-5 and 6 is just huge! And after seeing episode 6, you will also appreciate more all preceding episodes.

Averaging the different scores (5 episodes of 7 stars and 1 episode of 10 stars) will give this show a score of 7.5/10. Rounding this, gives an IMDb rating of 8 stars.

But please do understand that the real gem is the last episode. And you will have to watch all the episodes before it to really understand what is happening in episode 6.
