The Bastard Son and The Devil Himself

  • Go or No Go: Netflix’s The Bastard Son and The Devil Himself Pilot Review

    I’m the type of Netflix subscriber who clicks whatever Netflix hands to me. Even if that means 365 Days. But I’ve reached the age that I could decide to stop watching a series or a movie if I deem it unwatchable. Time is precious, my dears. Netflix just released the British series, The Bastard Son and The Devil Himself.

    Spoiler alert for “The Bastard Son and The Devil Himself” pilot!


    The Bastard Son and The Devil Himself

    Caught between two warring clans: the son of a notorious witch responsible for a deadly massacre tries to find a place in the world – and his powers.

    So this was the copy I read. I’m pretty sure that I first read something else but I can’t find it. Anyway. The show is an 8-episode fantasy series. Think Harry Potter x The Misfits x The Irregulars. I almost forgot the title of that last one. I’m sure I’ll forget the title “The Bastard Son and The Devil Himself” in the next month or so. It’s one of those algorithmic shows Netflix has been producing. Not complaining though. Just remind me when/if a new season is out. The show is based on a book called “Half-Bad.”

    Side note: The episode starts with Amerie’s “1 Thing” playing. So sabi ko, bakit ang luma ng music!? Tapos flashback pala. HAHA.
