The Take

Devil May Cry (Netflix) is worth watching if you want flashy, respectful demon-hunting that captures the games' swagger without lectures. The action hits the expected highs while treating Dante and the source with adult restraint.

Some dialogue softens the lead's edge and season two trades plot for bigger set pieces, yet the core energy remains intact.

The Verdict

The series delivers the swordplay and attitude that made the games fun while keeping the tone adult and source-faithful. Minor writing and pacing notes keep it from perfection.

Watch it.
