It’s a rare mix of adaptation and anthology storytelling done right; what does “The Terror” have in store for us next? I’m afraid to find out, and that’s a very good thing.

Dan Stevens and an excellent supporting cast bring compassion to their characters as they battle with the ghosts of the hospital’s past and their own internal demons. It’s a worthy new chapter in one of TV’s smartest horror anthologies.

The series moves along briskly (including a finale that feels a little rushed) and benefits greatly from Stevens' intense performance and those of the ensemble surrounding him.

Devil in Silver is complex and thought-provoking, refusing to accept tired and harmful character archetypes. Just like the patients at New Hyde, The Terror: Devil in Silver isn’t perfect, but it’s still worth watching.

Season 3 might not quite reach the spectacular first season's overall heights, but it's still a disquieting, philosophical dissection of human nature that simultaneously proves this anthology's flexibility and its staying power.

Devil In Silver fares better as a relevant dissection of social issues than it does as a creepy, survivalist drama. The show can’t blend both these aspects together seamlessly. And yet, the evocative performances alone make The Terror‘s third season a hellscape worth checking out.

Despite some ever-timely themes about the inequity and systemic failures of the mental health system in this country, “Devil in Silver” feels flat, likely a factor of being too faithful to its source (LaValle himself gets writer credit, which is often a mistake) or a rushed production that never quite found its voice on set.

It had me for a good bit but started to flounder at the end. Dan Stevens was great, and most of everyone else was just fine. Interesting demon storyline especially around mental illness. However, the son, Anthony was both weakly written and performed, but the Hispanic little person (maybe midget?) was intolerable. The kind of Mary Sue usually reserved for Disney fare. Bad acting, poorly written, and yes, Im shallow, unattractive. At least pick a cute enby. Ending was disappointing and muddled.
