The Devil’s Hour

Have you been missing Shining Girls? Well, "The Devil's Hour," the new series on Prime, should fill the void nicely. It's stars Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who) as Gideon, a serial killer who seems not to care very much that he has been caught. Gideon is obsessed with Lucy (Jessica Raine) a woman who awakens every night at 3:33 am. Lucy has a son who seems to be autistic/extremely odd. Lucy, when she is not busy with her social work job or taking her kid to the therapist, is having visions. She is seeing events before they happen or are they events on a different timeline? Can she alter what she knows is coming? And what's with Gideon and his obsession with her? Lots of mysteries, lots of questions - if you are looking for a binge worthy head-scratching/mind-bending thriller, then let this charming little devil of a series keep you company over the holiday season. Catch it streaming on Prime.
