James Jackson The Times (UK) Aug 26, 2026
3/5
This is a prestige horror: effectively grimy, well directed and not short of emotional heart. Go to Full Review
Lucy Mangan Guardian Aug 24, 2026
3/5
It works best as a straightforward drama. The real-life horrors of old-fashioned treatments, and of contemporary care standards for the forgotten and marginalised masses, are bleaker than any imaginary beastie prowling through psyches and corridors. Go to Full Review
Ed Power Daily Telegraph (UK) Aug 24, 2026
4/5
Small-screen horror is often a letdown. But Devil in Silver is a gold-star frightfest where the real monster isn’t the zombie under the bed but the bureaucrat with a clipboard who doesn’t care if you live or die. Go to Full Review
James Delingpole The Spectator Aug 27, 2026
It’s horribly claustrophobic and unsettling. As with One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, you’re forced to experience, through the eyes of someone seemingly sane, the despair and helplessness of being trapped in a prison-like system. Go to Full Review
Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) Aug 26, 2026
2/5
Slapstick humour of the grimmest type breaks up the narrative. In a later episode, one medic uses a lobotomy hammer to break up the ice for his whisky on the rocks. Very tasteful. Go to Full Review
Pat Stacey Irish Independent Aug 24, 2026
3.5/5
The Terror: Devil in Silver has plenty of gore...and hugely effective jump scares...but it’s the sense of dread that pervades every frame that makes it such a gripping chiller. Go to Full Review

Ezequiel A @RT66499521 Sep 15, 2026 I love this show so much!!! See more Luke T @LightSyson Sep 9, 2026 Ive been so looking forward to this season and was intrigued by the first half of episode 1, but it just immediately shows far too much. Loses any chance at building tension, subtle creep or intrigue in the plot. It shows how basic it is really quickly. At least that meant I didn't waste my time. Real shame. See more Phil C @PhilCere031 Aug 16, 2026 The Wife and I are a bit late to the party, but it was our pleasure to check out The Terror Season 3 (Devil in Silver)… I’ve been hooked on these seasons since the first incredible season where the doomed Franklin Expedition was given a fictional explanation.. That very real historical account hardly needed any more horror to the reality for those poor souls stuck out there on the ice while trying to find the Northern Passage, but this series pulled it off!! (I highly recommend the fictional book this series is based on) The second season shed light on the grim history of the Japanese internment camps.. Adding a similar entity to the well known Grudge film series into the mix!! In comes the third season, which already is set into a grim setting where poor souls with mental illness are left behind, with a predator that has been feeding for years on them… I don’t want to spill the beans too much, but we definitely recommend this for a watch!! 👍❤️ See more Susanna C @RT567909877431 Jul 25, 2026 It’s not as good as season one but it’s very good horror TV. We really don’t get a lot of shows like this that stick their landing, and this one is so far. Very good show, not great, but very good. See more Douh J @RT36560257 Jul 6, 2026 To be honest. I am not sure how this show got a high rating on rotten tomatoes. I'll point out the pros and cons from someone who is not an influencer or career critic. 1. The story plot is good. It'll suck you in. 2. High profile actors but the acting is absolutely terrible. Not sure how that happens? But whatever i guess. 3. The story is good. 4. The acting is atrocious. See more Amie A @AmAy666 Jun 22, 2026 Which seemed solid, but I think I didn't want to spend any more time slow-burning in a dreary hospital. The 19th century Arctic was just so much more interesting to watch. See more Read all reviews
