Chris Vognar Boston Globe May 7
In projects like this, there can be a fine line between committed performance and psych hospital schtick. The cast of “Devil in Silver” walks that line without tripping over it. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com May 7
The first two installments got under your skin; the third may leave a few scars, but it never goes any further beneath the surface. Go to Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire May 6

Over six smart, gnarly episodes, the well-captured characters and their supernatural plights prove almost as gripping -- and frightening -- as the reality they’re laying bare. Go to Full Review Brian Farvour The Playlist May 12

It’s a noticeable departure from prior seasons, turning the page to a type of institutional horror unlike anything depicted before and propped upon a cast in complete command of the screenplay. Go to Full Review Lacy Baugher Den of Geek May 10
The Terror: Devil in Silver would still be a fairly compelling horror story even if the supernatural never entered into the picture — and that may well be the most frightening thing of all. Go to Full Review Alan French FandomWire May 8

Young S. @YoungStevie 1d Does this get better at some point? At Episode 2 and can’t get thru it, and wanted to like it See more R T. @RT81057545 5d Great season, can’t wait for the finale See more Chris B. @KidCrooks May 28 Very intriguing season 3. Can’t wait to see how this ends up See more prawnda S @RT72497680 May 27 excellent season besides the last episode. they just ran out of ideas, thumbed in a bunch of pointless chaos and then gave us literally 1 second of an extremely cheap monster design after teasing it with cameramen who pathologically refuse to look at the focal point of the scene for 20-30 minutes. there was no resolution regarding the protagonist's girlfriend and daughter, only that he would be spending time with his son, and some extremely corny nods to van gogh that just felt like a lowest common denominator and lacked creativity. what does starry night have to do with this? what does van gogh have to do with any of this? it's just a random name drop and it did not need to be brought up a second time as such a foundational aspect of one character. See more Dean H. @RT97609875 May 25 Watched first 3 episodes-great so far and with a great cast😁 See more Ahmed G @RT03809150 May 22 The story has a lot of nonsense in it and the way hospital workers behave makes me sick that I forward the episodes while watching it just to see this evil entity coming from the ceiling and end with it.
