Complex, time shifting, serial killer mystery that never let's up. We watched this six parter over five nights and were on the edge of our seats.
Difficult to follow but worth every minute. Superbly acted by Peter Capaldi and Jessica Raine (who I grow to like the more I see her). The little boy actor playing her son is unbelievably effective in a stunning unatural way.
The story is around Raine, a child protection officer who has a complex, psychologically disturbed child called Isaac, who behaves in a very mysterious way, forcing her to have regular consultations with a child psychologist. One of her cases, a mother of a child she's concerned about is attacked by her partner. This is witnessed by two police officers who go to help and so out heroine becomes tangled up with the police while doing her job. She 'sees' things that have not happened yet and this is where the story gets to be really complicated.
There follows a collision with a suspected serial killer, Peter Capaldi in great Hanibal Lecter mode.
I can only say if you like a bit of the supernatural and some top notch acting then give The Devil's Hour a go. I've read that a possible two more series are in the pipeline too.
