'Helstrom': TV Review

hollywoodreporter.com:

Hulu's Helstrom is a dour and thoroughly monotonous thriller about demonic possession, a series that treats superpowers and exorcisms with all of the narrative and aesthetic pizzazz you'd expect from a chronicle of coal mining or sewer-line maintenance or TV criticism.

Why not depict one of those professions then, things actual people actually do, rather than offer the umpteenth take on a genre that has been wildly over-indexed on both big and small screens in recent years?

Don't trust me, though. Trust Daimon Helstrom (Tom Austen), the show's evil-fighting main character. "Latin, holy water, prayer, they used to be the secret weapons of the trade, but now thanks to movies, TV, the Internet, they're just tropes," Daimon complains early in.
