Review of Evil

Evil (2019–2024)
8/10
Intellectually incisive view of Demons & Religion...
2 November 2020
It's a series about Evil and the possibility that actual Demons are behind it, spreading and becoming more powerful...

Your main characters are a kind-of Mulder/Scully team employed by the Catholic Church to investigate 'Incidents' for authenticity.

Seminarian Acosta and Psychologist Bouchard grapple with situations that may or may NOT be incidents of supernatural occurrence and attempt to reach valid conclusions.

What makes this show different from other similar attempts in this genre is how the show puts aside the sensational supernatural screamfests and instead focuses the viewer on the intersection of Logic, Coincidence, Scientific Skepticism, Legality & the Law, Motives, Psychology & Psychosis, Lawsuits & Ecclesiastic Liability Issues...and just the plain conclusion that the source of the EVIL may just be simple Human Depravity.

Of course, there are always little dropped hints that step outside the bounds of 'coincidence' that will leave the viewer wondering how the show will wrap itself up to coring the actual Mystery...which may or may NOT be supernatural.

Aside from that, the lead characters are likeable...and the BAD GUY is really one hell of a cockroach, which makes me want to see what happens in the end.
