Evil

actually liked this one. it is quite ez-watching but often gives some feeling of unease mystery/horrors should. also lots of familiar tv faces including M.Emerson as a cherry on top

Evil is reminscient of the early X-Files, where logic could and would explain away the mystery. This show has perfected that formula, but will eventually need to commit to a direction. Until then, it's enjoyable for its case-of-the week episodes that aren't afraid to go dark. The cast is good though Herbers accent is a little distracting at times. There are seeds of an overarching storyline and I'm intrigued to see where it goes.

It definitely feels like network television complete with indecision on when to do one offs and when to stick to main story line, but so far the cast is charming, work well together, and stories are interesting enough. The episodes that are kid heavy can get a bit annoying, but I am still enjoying it through two seasons.

"When this body contained a spirit, a kingdom was too small to hold it; now two paces of the vilest earth is room enough"

(post 3rd season) Holy shit, what a stunning show. It combines demons, exorcisms and absurd and weird ass shit with savvy political stories about cryptocurrency, unionizing, the function of humor, racism and politics in the Catholic Church. It also has the best 4 children characters, used in such offbeat ways. This is excentric, engaging, intelligent and human storytelling at its best (was expecting that, considering the writer team has earned my trust for year. Long live the Kings).

As I don't consider myself to be the target audience, my score is more about "this show isn't for me, but I gave it a go", rather than "this show is bad". Albeit the demon in the first 15 minutes was just absurd.
