Devil in Ohio (2022)

Devil in Ohio is a tense, slow-burn psychological thriller that blends family drama with occult mystery. The story begins when a respected psychiatrist brings a damaged teenager—Mae—into her suburban home after the girl escapes a secretive cult. What starts as a short-term act of care quickly spirals into paranoia and upheaval as Mae insinuates herself into the household and local community, upending the life of the psychiatrist’s teenage daughter, Jules. Watching the series, you’ll feel a steady, creeping dread: ordinary domestic moments are threaded with menace, and every kindness toward Mae comes with the risk of manipulation or violence. The show leans into suspense and ambiguity—cult mythology and possible supernatural hints rub up against more human explanations of trauma, faith, and manipulation—so viewers are kept guessing about how much is real and how much is psychological. Expect character-driven conflict, fraught family dynamics, and moral dilemmas as the mother must protect her patients, children, and secrets all at once. Tone-wise, Devil in Ohio favors moody atmosphere over constant jump scares. There are shocking revelations, tense confrontations, and unsettling imagery, but the core power lies in its examination of trust, identity, and what a community will tolerate in the name of safety or belief. If you enjoy slow-building mysteries with emotional stakes, domestic horror, and a mystery that unspools through interpersonal suspense as much as plot twists, this series will keep you on edge and guessing until the final episode.
