- EnochLight8 de marzo de 2025Stumbled across this show recently after hearing about it for years. At first glance, it may feel like "X-Files For Catholics", but its far better than that. The chemistry between leads Mike Colter, Katja Herbers, and Aasif Mandvi is superb - harkening back to the golden years of "monster of the week" shows like 90's-era "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer" or "X-Files" at its prime. But while "X-Files" dealt mostly with aliens, government conspiracy, and the occasional monster, it only lightly touched on issues like faith, religion, and the supernatural. "EVIL", is the exact opposite - where our protagonists struggle almost each episode with the latter story arcs. Michael Emerson is a perfect choice for our main villain, as well as the supporting cast (Kristen's kids are adorable and Andrea Martin's Sister Andrea is magnificent). In this universe, Satan is not only real but working behind the scenes in a most calculating fashion to destroy and corrupt our heroes. Peppered with moments of levity, often cinematographic brilliance (seriously - the cinematography is great - and while not quite reaching the level of Steven Soderbergh's "The Knick", the camera angles and creeping feeling of dread are often fantastic), "EVIL" is not beyond the occasional tongue and cheek nod - not trying to take itself too seriously. The opening credits are worth a watch as they often include playful warnings or jabs at viewers not to skip the intro, suggesting that if they do, they might be "haunted" by the show's supernatural elements, sometimes even incorporating subtle visual cues like flickering lights or unsettling sounds during the credits to emphasize the joke. Showrunners Robert and Michelle King mostly stick to practical effects, which is a blessing in today's entertainment. Creature effects and demons are almost always actual actors in prosthetics and makeup, and it makes it a pleasure to watch. Overall, if you're looking for a fun "monster-of-the-week" show, look no further. This series was almost universal critically acclaimed, and it's a travesty it only got 4 seasons. Mike Colter and Katja Herbers often give stellar performances and are allowed to act in various character roles that let them stretch their acting chops. The writing is superb, smartly written, and - while not without its issues at times - usually hits the right notes. The entire cast and the show will be missed. Worth a solid binge watch!
