In all honesty, I only checked it out because of Peter Capaldi, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it is among the finest television shows of the year and among the best in its genre.
A well-directed and atmospherically eerie series, “The Devil’s Hour” is a more than enjoyable watch. With a premise that, while not wholly original, is implemented in a fresh and compelling manner, the show manages to stand out from the rest. The horror aspects aren’t watered down either, which is a bonus. It’s quite different from anything else out there, in a good way.
