Helstrom (2020)
8/10
Well Done!

Warning: Spoilers
This series reminds me of CBS' Evil, but not riding the "is it supernatural or psychological" line. It's fully supernatural. I'm not sure where this came from at Marvel because this is a Supernatural, Angels and Demons, God vs the Devil type of series. It's more like "Constantine", the Movie not the series, than it is anything else. It does have horror elements, but not a scary movie "it'll freak you out" type of horror. There is a lot of eerie feelings and blood and gore.

Overall, the writers put together a good plot line that keeps moving and keeps you guessing. I'm still not sure if these are what we consider to be actual Demons from Hell or if it's something else. It could be more Marvel's Mutants instead of God and the Devil, but there is an element of body hopping possession through time. I can't wait to find out.

The cast is well put together making the acting pretty good from all the main characters. No one stood out as "they don't fit their role" or anyone who just can't act.

I'm looking forward to a season 2 from Hulu.
