The Devil's Hour (2022– )
5/10
Wrongly Advertised
21 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Not a bad series by any means but this is wrongly advertised. It is cataloged as a thriller and drama so one would naturally expect this to be logical.

The series always hints at the sobrenatural but I was hoping that in the end this would have an amazing and perfectly logical explanation. How disappointed I was to hear that this was all connected with reincarnations and other things that are not scientific.

I have no problem with sci-fi, it is in fact one of my favorite genres, but when I choose some sci-fi content I expect some sci-fi explanations. Now when I choose a thriller I dont expect it to have a sci-fi ending if is not advertised as such.

One can argue that if it was cataloged as sci-fi the ending would have been pretty predictable since it always hints at the sobrenatural, but that argument can also work to show the weakness of the script. The ending is only "shocking" because they withdrew information. If this was correctly advertised there would be no surprises.

That being said, despite having only 6 episodes, is still too long for the story. They repetead the same things/scenes over and over to extend this a little bit.

Not a bad series, just dont lie to me.
