Devil in Ohio

Sam Jaeger, Xaria Dotson and Madeleine Arthur also star in Daria Polatin's adaptation of her own novel.

Most Pilot-y Line: When Dani is introduced to Mae and is told that she’s staying until Suzanne finds her a foster home, Dani says, “I was a foster kid. 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. Temperance Brennan, but the way Deschanel portrays her still makes her look like she’s achieving the impossible dream of “having it all.” She has a high-stakes, demanding career, is a loving wife, can still make a family dinner after a busy day, give loving advice to Jules, and still have time to take in this strange girl and somehow convince her family that this is the right thing to do. She’s also not fallen in love with her own material when it came to adapting her novel; the first episode moves with the pacing of a quality network thriller (one of the reasons why we compared it to The Following) that doesn’t tend to dwell on things for too long before moving the story forward. Sleeper Star: Xaria Dotson is intriguing as Jules, who totes around her Pentax K1000 (which means a lot to film camera buffs like us) and has her own darkroom. And the buyer of the house that Peter was renovating suddenly backed out of the deal, leaving Peter deep in debt with a high-priced house he needs to unload. The only reason we can discern that Suzanne is set up in such an unrealistic way so that there’s a lot that gets torn away when things with Mae get complicated. When the hospital is about to discharge her, Suzanne decides to have her stay with her family until she can find Mae a foster home. It feels like the central story is Suzanne’s efforts to try to save Mae, who is on the run from a deadly cult. At first glance, it seems that the story asides Polatin indulges in during the first episode, like Jules’ inability to fit in at school or Peter’s business quickly sinking into debt. She and her family lead busy lives, and when she’s called in early one morning to see an unidentified patient who isn’t talking, she has to dash out in the morning.

Netflix's new Emily Deschanel drama depicts the aftereffects of a cult — and the growing fear of the devil in a suburban town.

Which is not to say that “Devil in Ohio” is boring. What Suzanne has suffered exists only to make her story make sense, which isn’t novel, but “Devil in Ohio” feels so hastily written that the seams show too clearly. This theme song has a self-conscious ludicrousness that’s ultimately earned by the series it introduces — at least in one sense.

However, that case doesn’t sound like a “satanic” cult, so it’s unclear if it’s the same one Polatin was inspired by for her story. The murder occurred in Lundgren’s farmhouse, which the cult had repurposed into a center of worship. “I will never reveal details about my source, but suffice it to say, it was quite horrifying to hear the details of how a young woman escaped from the satanic cult she’d grown up in.
