Summary

Reviewers say 'Evil' is lauded for its compelling narratives, standout performances by Mike Colter, Katja Herbers, and Aasif Mandvi, and its innovative fusion of horror, psychological thriller, and drama. The series is appreciated for delving into themes of faith, morality, and the human mind. However, it faces criticism for the children's behavior, unresolved plots, and uneven character arcs. Some note writing flaws, continuity errors, and tonal inconsistencies. Despite these issues, many viewers remain captivated and eagerly anticipate new episodes.

Hard to get over the children

Amazing show, but very irritating how the kids cry every episode

Surprisingly Good Show

After watching five episodes, Evil has turned out to be a surprisingly good show with very interesting principal characters and minor characters-- including the children.

While suspected supernatural occurrences in each episode are usually rationally explained, there are also strong hints of supernatural forces at work. And that makes this show both interesting and rather unnerving.

I really hope Evil gets a second season!

Why are the kids screaming in all of their scenes?

I love this show... Great story with a lot of scary Scenes... The acting is excellent all the way around. Doesn't get to corny or political. But... Those 4-girls and the All the Screaming is soo annoying! Why does the Director insist on all the screaming over and over. I cringe every time I see these girls. Why? Maybe just one time it might be funny. But every time? Why?

the kids

I like the show, it's fun and entertaining.

But

How many times do the writers think they need to remind us that the girls all talk over each other and scream. With few exceptions their lines descend into a cacophony of gibberish. Sure, I know real kids do that but why do we have to be subjected to it repeatedly in every episode?

On the other hand, I think this aspect of the story is a good way to promote birth control.

Great show, but....

Please, for the love of anything holy, shut the kids up. Do they really need to shriek and scream All. The. Time??

Trivia
It was announced in Oct. 2021 that actor Peter Scolari, who played Father Thomas Marx, passed away after a two-year battle with cancer. Evil co-creator and showrunner Robert King wrote several tweets about the actor, calling him "one of the funniest--sneakily funny--actors we've worked with," he said. "He always took a nothing scene and found different ways to twist it, and throw in odd pauses that made it jump. I will try to collect my thoughts more. He was just wonderful."

Goofs
It makes no sense for each and every train that goes across the bridge over the house to honk its horn. The horn is a warning sign. There is nobody on the bridge that could need a warning. The horn is mainly used at level crossings and there physically can't be any of those ahead or after the bridge for a good long stretch. Except this is explained in S4.E7 "How to Dress a Wound", when it's revealed that a demon is appearing as a woman on the train tracks above the Bouchard house.
