Devil In Ohio is a perfectly serviceable show that should keep audiences entertained for eight episodes. But at times it feels like something that’s a bit too slick and a bit too uncomplicated for a show that’s about a cult victim that ruins lives, especially a show for Netflix.
Devil in Ohio does not reinvent the wheel – and no doubt it’ll be subsumed into the amorphous mass of Netflix adaptations sooner rather than later, but in the moment, it’s decent viewing. Exciting enough, at least, that you won’t be doing laundry at the same time.

I thought this was a fun show. It's like a family drama with creepy suspense, more than a big horror show. If you go in with that expectation it's very enjoyable and kept me wondering what was going to happen til the end.

Loved it! Slow burn, creepy, kept me on my toes. And the ending surprised me. Season 2 please!

"Devil" is one of Netflix’s light-horror excursions, nothing too gory or sexy. ... It’s messy TV but, really, you can’t go too wrong with devil worshipers.
It’s so schlockily unembarrassed by its excesses and its shortcomings alike that it feels difficult to critique. ... Its endgame is bleak in a way that seemed like a satisfyingly tidy reversal of the suburban clichés in which the show trafficked previously. But you have to wade through a great deal to get to that endpoint, much of it entertaining for reasons that can’t have been intended.
This was good to watch I liked it. Lots of storylines, kept me interested.Girl from the cult is very good. Great show!

Right off the bat, I must say that I have absolutely no idea why this story needed to be told in 8 episodes that add up to almost 5 and a half hours of content, when it spends all that time on nothing of substance.
And I mention this because the suspense is basically zero, even with what it achieves in terms of mystery in its first two episodes, coupled with a climax that builds itself very slowly and turns out to be extremely feeble.
Not only does it fail to provoke tension, but it leads to a conclusion that feels unbearably empty and above all frustrating once you realize everything you had to go through to get there.
Massive bummer.

Just gawd awful. Painfully slow pacing with absolutely ZERO pay off. Terrible script, terrible editing and oh sooo many clichés it isn't funny... not scary nor authentic nor true to any real life events. Intellectually deficient. There are only so many hours of viewing some actress with a blank look on her face that a viewer can stand before wanting to slap her to wake her out of OUR coma. One trick poney acting is soooooo boring. I mean REALLY REALLY REALLY boring. How many times must Hollywood portray small town or religious folk and their law enforcement as menacing, territorial ignorant (insert stereotype here) kind of paint by numbers character assassination nonsense. If one were to believe Hollywood, every small town religious community are akin to the inbred cannibalistic Chainsaw Massacre family. Phooey!
