The series, led by a creative team featuring director Johnny Allan and writer Tom Moran, delves deeper into the psychological complexities and intriguing plotlines established in its initial run.

The show centers around the recurrent experience of its protagonist, Lucy, portrayed with skill and nuance, waking each night exactly at 3:33 am, a time colloquially termed the devil’s hour. Continuing with its suspenseful storytelling, the second season promises to answer lingering questions while introducing new twists and character developments.

Critically, the show has received positive attention, with reviews praising the narrative’s confidence and complexity. Paste Magazine‘s Lacy Baugher rated the latest season 7.9 out of 10, noting its ability to provide compelling escapism. “The series’ second outing, free of the narrative shackles, feels much more confident and compelling,” stated Baugher.

Peter Capaldi and Nikesh Patel star alongside Lucy, adding depth to the web of relationships that form the crux of the series’ emotional undertones. These dynamics are illustrated through Lucy’s challenging connections with her detective love interest, played by Patel, and other characters who add stakes to her journey.

Benjamin Chivers, returning as Lucy’s son Issac, continues to impress with his portrayal of a complex character, providing subtle yet significant contributions to the unfolding story. Chivers’ nuanced performance is noted for adding layers to Issac’s perceived detachment.

As the series progresses, it explores the evolving mentor-mentee relationship between Capaldi’s Gideon and the lead, offering viewers an insight into their unconventional bond. The narrative aims to maintain suspense while exploring these relationships, ensuring audience engagement.

The second season is now available for streaming, with new episodes launching from October 18, 2024. As the plot thickens, viewers can expect more suspense and dramatic reveals, all set against the eerie backdrop of the mysterious “devil’s hour.”
