Review of Evil

Evil (2019–2024)
9/10
First season is the best, but it keeps up well
4 August 2022
Probably my favorite show on television right now. Different. Thought provoking. Well written. Unusual, well thought out characters. Creepy. Dark.

The acting is truly superb, bringing the characters to three dimensional and believable heights.

Some of the dialogue is campy and cheesy and a bit predictably inane, but for the most part it works beautifully.

The first season is better as it focuses on plot and varying storylines that are intriguing, mystifying and well thought out. As the seasons progress, it does deteriorate a little in the quality of the plot as it becomes a more outlandish tale delving into the individual characters and leaving the delightfully rich new plot lines behind. ( I think of how highly successful the X FILES was until it went too into inane conspiracy theories and am finding a bit of that here, in the latest season)

In this show, the "supernatural" is presented through the eyes of a priest, a scientist and a psychologist and their conflicts and viewpoints are so exceptionally presented as to make it a highly enjoyable watch. Thank you for finally putting out some thought provoking television!
