When a beloved varsity quarterback disappears during the “Satanic Panic” of the late 1980s, a struggling high school heavy metal band of outcasts realize they can capitalize on the town’s sudden interest in the occult by building a reputation as a Satanic metal band, until a bizarre series of murders, kidnappings, and reported “supernatural activity” triggers a leather-studded witch hunt that leads directly back to them.

Saloni Gajjar AV Club Hysteria! mines the Satanic panic for a devil of a good time. While the early episodes instill intrigue and scares, that don't fully pan out by the end, the show is still a fun spooky-season treat. Rated: B Nov 5, 2024 Full Review Proma Khosla IndieWire Everything wraps up in some fashion, with potential for future seasons, but with varying degrees of fulfillment. Rated: B- Oct 26, 2024 Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter It’s a mess, but it isn’t without audacity. That’s a calling card, if not necessarily a success. Oct 23, 2024 Full Review Jeff Beck The Blu Spot Hysteria! takes full advantage of its supernatural elements as it weaves a fascinating tapestry of inter-connecting stories, all surrounding its intriguing central murder mystery and the subsequent demonic activity that grips the small town. Rated: 3.5/5 May 27, 2025 Full Review Kate Sánchez But Why Tho? A Geek Community Whether you’re in the mood for A+ nostalgia, the skewering of paranoid church moms, or some dang good Bruce Campbell moments, Hysteria (2024) is precisely what you should watch. Rated: 8/10 Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …Hysteria! is a highly entertaining thriller which explores how an all-American town can be destabilised by a few corrupt individuals, and depicts youth saving the day from the compromised adults in a way that’s crowd-pleasingly true to its 80’s roots… Rated: 4/5 Nov 12, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Tobias K A show that delivers on its title. Even if it relies heavily on horror tropes and some character stereotypes, episode per episode the tension builds up and it really seems like the hate and fear will erupt in a total disaster. On the way you're getting regularly good and even some really great performances, while the soundtrack respectfully brushes past 80s metal and modern songs that could have been dug up from this era. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review D E Excellent show but needs to be picked up on another Network. Peacock dropped the ball on this one 91% Critic Score. Needed a chance. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/28/25 Full Review Donn A Nice campy horror comedy with some good cast but maybe a couple of episodes too long. 😅 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/07/25 Full Review Iliana J Loved it 🖤 It was original and different, I would love a 2nd season! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/12/25 Full Review Thi P Brasil Loves Hysteria. Hope producers reconsider a second season soon Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/25 Full Review Mike P Satanic Panic hits Michigan suburbia in the 80s...With unexpected results...And this is interesting; although the campy, flamboyant humor doesn't always mix well with the heavy subject matter. I kind of wish the show would just let itself be a serious show about Satanism infecting a small town in the 80s; and all the horrific aftermath of that; rather than this wink, wink, we're just joking satire. But it's interesting; even as it is; uneven and all...And it's great seeing both Julie Bowen and Bruce Campbell's Ash from the Evil Dead franchise again.
