Devil in Ohio

The first season ended on one hell of a cliffhanger... Emily Deschanel as Suzanne Mathis and Madeleine Arthur as Mae Dodd in Devil in Ohio.

[subscribe now](http://radiotimes.com/magazine-subscription?utm_term=evergreen-article) and get the next 12 issues for only £1. [Netflix](https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81059939). There's also the matter of that big cliffhanger at the end of season 1 - should viewers expect that to go unresolved? Is there a trailer for Devil in Ohio season 2? Will there be a season 2 of Devil in Ohio?

Devil in Ohio is now streaming on Netflix! The thriller follows the story of a psychiatrist who looks after a young woman who escaped a cult.

She pulls down her robe in the mirror to reveal a pentagram carved into her skin. There’s a few references to Mae having a scar or cut on her back, and when she shares her name, she remembers how she got it. Suzanne has to rush to the hospital after getting a call about a mysterious teen, the same one we see in the beginning of the episode running away. One exciting development for Jules is that she seems to have a crush on a classmate named Sebastian (Evan Ellison), the editor-in-chief of the school’s newspaper. [Devil in Ohio](https://netflixlife.com/2022/08/31/devil-in-ohio-cast-characters-guide-netflix/) is a fun watch and will leave you on the edge of your seat wanting to figure out the big mystery. When a young woman without a name and with a disturbing back scar shows up, Suzanne is determined to figure out what happened and how she can help.

Emily Deschanel's dark thriller may not invent the wheel but it makes for some gripping viewing.

In another world, the plot stops there and Devil in Ohio is a thoughtful drama about trauma and what it means to belong. As Mae acclimatises to her new life, she begins to assume Jules’s place at school and at home – even while the two continue to grow close as sisters. Exciting enough, at least, that you won’t be doing laundry at the same time.

But this is not that world; this is Netflix world, and by those rules, there must be a nefarious cult or creepy cop waiting in the wings. The latest to throw its hat in the ring is [Devil in Ohio](/topic/devil-in-ohio), not to be confused with the streamer’s Robert Pattinson film The Devil All the Time, a sinister tale incidentally also set in Ohio. Bones star Emily Deschanel plays Suzanne, a mother and psychiatrist who invites her new young patient (a believably wide-eyed Madeleine Arthur) into her home when she’s brought into the hospital after a traumatic episode. [Netflix](/topic/netflix) Original indeed meant “original”. The output varies in quality, most coming in at a mid-level rating best described as “background noise while I do my laundry” but a few surpass all expectations (The Queen’s Gambit). It’s an act of kindness that comes at the cost of annoying her daughter Jules (Xaria Dotson) who already feels overlooked at home and at school without this new, mysterious teenager in the spotlight. The eight-episode series puts to screen Daria Polatin’s 2017 novel of the same name, itself inspired by a true story.

You can count on devil worshipers. They make for steady, reliable bad guys. In a way they're even more dependable than serial killers and Nazis.

Disjointed as it is, It revolves around the question of whether Mae is a bad seed or just damaged, and Arthur is an ethereal enough actor to keep the question open. But this is more than just a show about devil worshipers and the people they mutilate. But as the extremely jagged and overstuffed "Devil in Ohio" progresses it also folds in a bisexual awakening, real estate transactions, assorted arson cases, a detective with a dog named Clark, a gay bestie, some light kidnapping and, of course, human sacrifice.

Netflix's new Emily Deschanel drama depicts the aftereffects of a cult — and the growing fear of the devil in a suburban town.

Which is not to say that “Devil in Ohio” is boring. What Suzanne has suffered exists only to make her story make sense, which isn’t novel, but “Devil in Ohio” feels so hastily written that the seams show too clearly. This theme song has a self-conscious ludicrousness that’s ultimately earned by the series it introduces — at least in one sense.

Sam Jaeger, Xaria Dotson and Madeleine Arthur also star in Daria Polatin's adaptation of her own novel.

Most Pilot-y Line: When Dani is introduced to Mae and is told that she’s staying until Suzanne finds her a foster home, Dani says, “I was a foster kid. But at times it feels like something that’s a bit too slick and a bit too uncomplicated for a show that’s about a cult victim that ruins lives, especially a show for Netflix. Temperance Brennan, but the way Deschanel portrays her still makes her look like she’s achieving the impossible dream of “having it all.” She has a high-stakes, demanding career, is a loving wife, can still make a family dinner after a busy day, give loving advice to Jules, and still have time to take in this strange girl and somehow convince her family that this is the right thing to do. She’s also not fallen in love with her own material when it came to adapting her novel; the first episode moves with the pacing of a quality network thriller (one of the reasons why we compared it to The Following) that doesn’t tend to dwell on things for too long before moving the story forward. Sleeper Star: Xaria Dotson is intriguing as Jules, who totes around her Pentax K1000 (which means a lot to film camera buffs like us) and has her own darkroom. And the buyer of the house that Peter was renovating suddenly backed out of the deal, leaving Peter deep in debt with a high-priced house he needs to unload. The only reason we can discern that Suzanne is set up in such an unrealistic way so that there’s a lot that gets torn away when things with Mae get complicated. When the hospital is about to discharge her, Suzanne decides to have her stay with her family until she can find Mae a foster home. It feels like the central story is Suzanne’s efforts to try to save Mae, who is on the run from a deadly cult. At first glance, it seems that the story asides Polatin indulges in during the first episode, like Jules’ inability to fit in at school or Peter’s business quickly sinking into debt. She and her family lead busy lives, and when she’s called in early one morning to see an unidentified patient who isn’t talking, she has to dash out in the morning.

Episode 1 of Devil in Ohio begins with a woman racing through cornfields in the dead of night. She's terrified of something that appears to be chasing her.

However, the story involving Mae is certainly intriguing and the mystery is enticing enough to keep watching in a bid to find out exactly what’s going on. The first episode of Devil In Ohio gets off to an okay start, although there are a couple of clichés thrown in for good measure. Suzanne refuses to see a minor left with nothing and decides to take her in personally. When the doctors try to do a blood draw, she freaks out, leaving it up to Suzanne to head in and calm her down. Helen is the popular kid, with friends to boot and generally stays away from her sister. She drops the knife in her hand and steps into the road, eventually being brought to the hospital.

Devil in Ohio is based on the book of the same name by Daria Polatin and it is actually based on a true story, though Polatin won't reveal her sources.

However, that case doesn’t sound like a “satanic” cult, so it’s unclear if it’s the same one Polatin was inspired by for her story. The murder occurred in Lundgren’s farmhouse, which the cult had repurposed into a center of worship. “I will never reveal details about my source, but suffice it to say, it was quite horrifying to hear the details of how a young woman escaped from the satanic cult she’d grown up in. Yes, Devil in Ohio is inspired by real events. Suzanne Mathis, Devil in Ohio follows a young woman, Mae (Madeleine Arthur), who escapes from a satanic cult and desperately needs help keeping herself alive and free from their influence. Polatin also serves as a writer and executive producer on the show.

Spoiler Alert. Netflix. [Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for all of Devil in Ohio.] Netflix's new limited series thriller ends on a very ...

I like to call it the horror of the everyday, because it’s the horror of our own selves and our own parts of our selves we don’t want to deal with and when you don’t deal with things, it ends up causing behavior that is, on the surface, unintended and can cause a lot of problems, as it does for Suzanne. Then we also have the main title song by Bishop Briggs, who wrote the song for us as well, and our composer wrote that hymn for the cult. Oh, yay, that’s by Isabella Summers, who is the Machine of Florence and the Machine, and she wrote the song for us. She wrote this gorgeous song and it was so good that we put it in a couple of places and then over the credits at the end, but she knocked the song out of the park. She says “I want to help her get a job and get her GED and find a permanent place,” and for Peter, that’s just her still not fully accepting who Mae is. Is she going to pick up the phone and call Peter in the next moment? It’s that blind spot that we talk about, the difference between who you are and who you think you are, and that’s really the monster in this show. I like to write stories that people can engage with and talk about and discuss, and so it’s a good question and it’s something fun for the audience to engage with as well in conversation, like watercooler. Where did the cult go, and what’s going to happen with Mae and Suzanne? So I think from Mae’s perspective, and that’s how we approached it with Madeleine, she’s looking for a place for herself. Suzanne is kind of dealing with her own past and her own psychology and her own issues, something she’s kept very buried, even from her family and herself, really. (The psychiatrist rescued her.) [Daria Polatin](https://www.tvinsider.com/people/daria-polatin/), who wrote the book inspired by a true story and serves as creator, showrunner, and executive producer on the limited series, breaks down that ending and addresses if there will be a second season after that cliffhanger.

When he tries to bury the bird, Mae actually gets there first and takes the dead crow and serves it up as an offering, marking a familiar sigil we saw on that pig-head scarecrow on a tree stump she’s turned into a makeshift shrine. Peter is offered an extra six weeks to try and rustle up the funds he needs to prevent slipping further into debt. Mae decides to dip out and Suzanne asks Rhoda to reconsider the adoption. She agrees, and Mae is able to continue staying at Suzanne’s place for the time being. Suzanne drops off Mae at the family services center to get checked up before heading off to a foster home, while Peter is left with the unenviable task of taking the poor bird to the bird sanctuary.
