Trailer
While the trailer doesn't give much on the narrative, with its shocking scenes and dialogue it is definitely alluring, even giving us 'The Wolf of Wall Street' vibes. It's kind of hard to picture "McDreamy" from 'Grey's Anatomy' as a bad guy, but as he tells his co-star in the thriller, he apparently may not be. Of course, we don't know if that is entirely true but financial thrillers have a way of becoming a narrative filled with murderous conspiracies and we have a feeling that 'Devils' isn't too far away from that direction.
Where to watch
Catch 'Devils' on Wednesday, October 7, 2020, at 8 pm on The CW.
