The Netflix series ‘Devil in Ohio’ features a mysterious satanic cult
With spooky season only weeks away, we’re not judging anyone if they get started with their chills and thrills a little early. Devil in Ohio stars Emily Deschanel as Dr. Suzanna Mathis, a psychiatrist working in a local hospital. When a strange girl shows up at the hospital, Suzanna takes an interest in her. However, after Suzanna decides to bring the girl home to stay with her family, audiences learn she escaped from a satanic cult, and its members will do what it takes to get her back. Inspired by true events and based on the book of the same name by Daria Polatin, Devil in Ohio streams exclusively on Netflix.
All four seasons of ‘Stranger Things’
After an almost-three-year wait, the pop culture phenomenon Stranger Things returned with its much anticipated super-sized fourth season. Season 4 features newcomers Joseph Quinn as the beloved Eddie Munson, Eduardo Franco as Argyle, along with the regular cast members like Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, and Sadie Sink.
If you somehow missed one of the best Netflix shows out there on the first go-round, and the entire weekend sprawls out ahead of you with no plans in sight, settle in for some ’80s nostalgia, monsters, and wild government conspiracies. We promise. Once you hit play, you won’t stop until the credits roll on the Stranger Things Season 4 finale.
