This complexity is crystalized in the end of the series. Mae is a complex, shifting character, difficult to read, to know her intentions - or if she's simply falling back upon what she knows.
Not only does Mae somehow become popular at school, a feat Jules has never achieved, but Mae also attracts Jules' crush on the school newspaper. Chief among those is middle daughter Jules (Xaria Dotson), who is Mae's age and eventually feels supplanted by her. While Suzanne's determined to keep Mae from falling back into the clutches of the cult members who mean to burn her as a sacrifice, Suzanne's own family one by one begins to resent Mae for what they perceive to be her underhanded narcissism. On Wednesdays, we wear Hellfire Club shirts: "Stranger Things" and the real-life Satanic panic Mae's first meal with Suzanne's family? She prays earnestly to Satan.
CAVE STORY BEST ENDING SERIES
The limited series is only eight episodes long, yet still manages to be a ride. Mae has escaped from a strict and cloistered cult in rural Ohio, and despite Suzanne's acceptance of her into her own home, the girl has trouble adjusting (understandably, as do Suzanne's daughters). It joins a bumper crop of Netflix shows that seem to be responding to our need for shorter stories, after a plethora of lengthy movies.
The age-defying appeal makes sense as "The Devil in Ohio" is a story of generations, as much the tale of Suzanne (the always compelling Emily Deschanel), a middle-aged therapist, wife and mother of three, as it is the story of Mae (a luminous Madeleine Arthur) a teen girl who ends up in the emergency room with a terrible wound cut into her back and a secret she won't tell, at least not right away. Netflix's "The Devil in Ohio" has the distinction of being the first show that I know for certain both my partner's mother, grandmother and I watched.
