Prime Video Catch Up: The Devil’s Hour & Vox Machina

Card No. 06·28129 · Updated · Standard formula, shown below

The calculator on this card is switched off while it is checked. The formula is below, and the worked example shows how to do the sum by hand.

Yes, you can catch up on both The Devil’s Hour and The Legend of Vox Machina on Prime Video before their next seasons drop. All currently released episodes of both shows are available to stream with an active Prime Video subscription, and you can watch them on demand at your own pace. This article explains how to find them, what you need to know before starting, and how to make sure you’re ready for the upcoming seasons.

Formula

The calculator above works out how many hours you need to set aside to catch up on a show. You enter the hours you’ve already watched (if any), the number of episodes remaining, and the average episode length in minutes. The formula converts everything to minutes, adds them up, and then divides by 60 to give you the total hours.

In symbols: Total hours = (already watched in minutes + episodes remaining × episode length in minutes) / 60

Variables:

  • t – hours already watched (if you’re starting from zero, enter 0).
  • e – number of episodes you still need to watch.
  • d – average length of one episode in minutes (most dramas run 45–60 minutes, comedies 22–30).

The second output, sessions, rounds up to the nearest whole number of 1-hour blocks, which is useful for planning evenings.

Worked Example

Suppose you want to catch up on The Devil’s Hour before its next season. Season 1 has 6 episodes, each about 60 minutes long. You’ve already watched 2 hours (so t = 2), and you have 4 episodes left (e = 4, d = 60).

Step 1: Convert already watched hours to minutes: 2 × 60 = 120 minutes.

Step 2: Remaining episodes in minutes: 4 × 60 = 240 minutes.

Step 3: Total minutes = 120 + 240 = 360 minutes.

Step 4: Total hours = 360 / 60 = 6.00 hours.

Step 5: Sessions = ceil(6.00) = 6 one-hour sessions.

So you need about 6 hours to finish the season, or six 1-hour viewing sessions.

Where to Find Both Shows on Prime Video

Prime Video organizes its library in a straightforward way. To find The Devil’s Hour or The Legend of Vox Machina:

  1. Open the Prime Video app on your TV, phone, tablet, or the website in a browser.
  2. Use the search bar (usually at the top) and type the show’s name.
  3. Select the show from the results – you’ll see all available seasons and episodes listed.
  4. If you’re not sure what to watch, browse the “Primeâ€� or “Included with Primeâ€� sections – both shows are included with a standard Prime membership, so no extra rental or purchase is needed.

Both shows have their own dedicated pages with trailers, episode descriptions, and sometimes behind-the-scenes extras. You can also download episodes for offline viewing on the mobile app, which is handy for catching up during a commute.

What to Know Before Starting The Devil’s Hour

The Devil’s Hour is a British psychological thriller that first aired in 2022. The story follows Lucy Chambers, a woman who wakes up every night at exactly 3:33 AM, and her young son who claims to see things others can’t. The series is known for its non-linear narrative, so it helps to pay close attention to details – seemingly minor moments often become important later.

The show has two seasons so far. The first season (6 episodes) sets up the mystery, and the second season (also 6 episodes) deepens the mythology and answers some questions while raising new ones. A third season has been confirmed, so catching up now is a good idea.

If you enjoy slow-burn mysteries with a supernatural edge, this is a strong pick. It’s not a fast-paced action show; it rewards patient viewers.

What to Know Before Starting The Legend of Vox Machina

The Legend of Vox Machina is an animated fantasy series based on the popular Dungeons & Dragons campaign Critical Role. It follows a ragtag group of mercenaries called Vox Machina as they take on increasingly dangerous quests, from killing a corrupt noble to battling ancient dragons and even gods.

The animation is adult-oriented – there’s strong language, graphic violence, and dark humor, so it’s not for kids. The show has three seasons available now, with a fourth season confirmed. Each season has 12 episodes, running about 25–30 minutes each, so it’s a quicker binge than The Devil’s Hour.

You don’t need any prior knowledge of Critical Role or D&D to enjoy it. The show stands on its own, though fans of the original campaign will spot many references and cameos.

How to Catch Up Efficiently

If you’re short on time, here are some practical tips:

  • Use the “Next Episodeâ€� autoplay – Prime Video automatically plays the next episode unless you turn it off, which keeps the momentum going.
  • Watch at 1.25× or 1.5× speed – This is a personal choice, but it can cut down total time by 20–30%. For dialogue-heavy shows like The Devil’s Hour, be careful not to miss subtle clues.
  • Watch on a phone or tablet during commutes – Download episodes in advance (available in the app) and watch offline.
  • Skip recaps – Most episodes have a “Previously on…â€� segment at the start, which you can skip if you’re binging in one sitting.

Using the calculator above, you can plan exactly how many evenings you need. For example, if you have 12 episodes of Vox Machina left at 28 minutes each, that’s 336 minutes or 5.6 hours – about two movie nights.

Common Questions About Catching Up

Do I need to watch anything else first?

No. Both shows are self-contained. The Devil’s Hour is an original series, and Vox Machina is an adaptation of a web series, but you can start with episode 1 of either without prior context.

Are all seasons included with Prime?

Yes, as of this writing, all released seasons of both shows are included with a Prime Video subscription. There’s no extra fee. However, availability can change, so double-check the show’s page before you start.

Can I watch them on any device?

Prime Video is available on most smart TVs, streaming sticks, game consoles, phones, tablets, and web browsers. You can also cast from a phone to a TV if your TV doesn’t have the app.

How long is each episode?

The Devil’s Hour episodes run about 55–60 minutes. Vox Machina episodes are shorter, around 25–30 minutes. The calculator above lets you adjust for your specific show.

Is there a recap video for each show?

Prime Video sometimes has official recaps on the show’s page, but they’re not always easy to find. A quick search on YouTube for “The Devil’s Hour recapâ€� or “Vox Machina recapâ€� will give you fan-made summaries, but beware of spoilers if you haven’t finished all seasons.

What if I don’t have a Prime subscription?

You can still watch Prime Video by subscribing to the standalone Prime Video service (which doesn’t require a full Amazon Prime membership). You can also rent or buy individual episodes, but that’s more expensive than subscribing if you plan to watch multiple seasons.

Why Binge-Watching Works Well for These Shows

Both shows benefit from binge-watching, but for different reasons. The Devil’s Hour has a complex timeline that’s easier to follow when episodes are watched close together – you’ll remember small details that pay off later. Vox Machina is more episodic, but the character arcs and running jokes are more enjoyable when you’re immersed in the world.

If you’re the type who prefers weekly episodes, you can still watch them slowly – there’s no wrong way. The key is to start before the new seasons premiere, so you’re not scrambling to finish.

What If You’re Already Caught Up?

If you’ve seen everything, you might be looking for similar shows to fill the gap. For fans of The Devil’s Hour, try other British thrillers like Broadchurch or The Fall. For Vox Machina fans, other adult animated series like Invincible (also on Prime Video) or Castlevania on Netflix are popular choices.

You can also rewatch with subtitles or commentary if available – many viewers catch foreshadowing they missed the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is The Devil’s Hour worth watching?

If you enjoy psychological thrillers with a supernatural twist, yes. The performances are strong, especially from the lead actress, and the writing rewards careful attention. It’s not a show to watch while scrolling on your phone.

Is The Legend of Vox Machina suitable for kids?

No. It’s rated for mature audiences due to graphic violence, strong language, and sexual content. It’s not appropriate for young children, though older teens might enjoy it depending on their tolerance.

Do I need to watch Critical Role before Vox Machina?

No. The show is designed to be accessible to newcomers. You might miss some in-jokes, but the main story stands alone.

How many seasons are there currently?

The Devil’s Hour has two seasons, with a third confirmed. Vox Machina has three seasons, with a fourth confirmed. Both are still ongoing.

Can I watch these shows in 4K?

Yes, both are available in 4K Ultra HD and HDR on compatible devices, provided your internet connection supports it. Check the show’s page for the “UHDâ€� badge.

What if I live outside the US?

Prime Video is available in many countries, but the catalog can vary. Both shows are available in most regions, but if you can’t find them, it may be due to licensing. A VPN might help, but that’s against Prime’s terms of service, so use at your own risk.

Use the calculator to plan your viewing time, and start soon so you’re ready for the next seasons.
