Debi Enker The Age (Australia) 05/12/2021
3/5
Devils has the slightly tinny feel of a drama that's trying to tick boxes: troubled protagonist, high stakes, a suspicious death, conspiracies everywhere. But its emotional depth penetrates no further than the shiny surfaces. Go to Full Review Ed Power Daily Telegraph (UK) 02/24/2021
2/5
There's not enough of either star in an opening episode that moves quickly and slickly but ultimately feels too much like a poor man's Wall Street. Go to Full Review Ed Cumming Independent (UK) 02/22/2021
2/5
Despite its frantic pace and shiny surfaces, Devils lapses into dullness more often than it ought to. You don't expect to like these guys, but they're meant to have a few good tunes. Go to Full Review James Delingpole The Spectator 07/19/2021
If the script can't get such basic details right, why should the viewer buy in to the bigger storyline? Go to Full Review Zehra Phelan 2 Minute Telly 03/18/2021
3/5
A bit of a slog, but it's worth sticking around for the 2nd half as the half-empty void of style over substance begins to fade and the financial muscle takes on some meaty intrigue. Go to Full Review Euan Ferguson Observer (UK) 02/23/2021
With all the jet-setting international action, it can feel oddly like an ill-dubbed melange of accents, which makes the plot, such as it is, hard to follow. Main problem, though, is that it's so hard to truly care about any of the characters. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Flori M @RT46296805 08/27/2024 Very interesting series about the world of banking, trading and power. It covers key world events from the war in Siria, Brexit, Bitcoin to Covid and after, the immense power of data and information, power games. Beautifully directed and perfectly acted. Captivating, I watched the first 2 seasons over a WE. See more 07/16/2021 Absolutely refreshing and intelligent drama. Pleased it has been renewed for a second season. You need to pay attention in this fast moving series, but it is well worth the effort. Great casting, love the European style of directing. Love the noir aspect to this series. Well worth watching. - JB See more 02/27/2021 Brilliant, but needed intelligence and concentration to appreciate. Perhaps this is why critics gave it a low rat- it was very hard for them. See more 02/18/2021 I've only watched the first episode. Reasonable story, but nothing new if you've seen other films or series about high flying financial dealings. The plot line with the wife is a little far-fetched. The rich guy/poor guy confrontation got tedious eventually as it just repeated the same old glances from-a-far. What I found particularly bad was the sound quality, dialogue incomprehensible at times not helped by the sound level of the music playing, something affirmed by two other viewers of the same episode. I will watch some more episodes but the plot and the sound quality will have to get a lot better. See more 01/28/2021 Loved watching this series. Great storyline and characters, fantastic casting! Hope there is a season two! See more 12/26/2020 I like it but it has its failures See more Read all reviews
