Evil Is the Right Mix of Supernatural Mysteries with Procedural Drama

For those with a penchant for the supernatural wrapped in a procedural format, Evil offers an enticing viewing experience. The series skillfully combines the thrill of a mystery solved by episode’s end with an ongoing, darker narrative thread.

At the heart of Evil is Dr. Kristen Bouchard, portrayed by Katja Herbers, a forensic psychologist who, alongside a Catholic seminarian (played by Mike Colter of Luke Cage fame) and a technology contractor (Aasif Mandvi), delves into the eerie and often unexplained incidents that hint at supernatural influences. The show also features notable performances by Kurt Fuller, Christine Lahti, and the particularly menacing Michael Emerson, who steps into the shoes of the sinister Leland Townsend.

Behind this gripping series are creators Robert and Michelle King, renowned for their work on The Good Wife and its successful spinoff, The Good Fight. Continuing their legacy of acclaimed dramas, Evil has secured a strong critical foothold, boasting an impressive 95% average on Rotten Tomatoes, with its third season achieving a rare 100% score. Critics have consistently lauded the series for its compelling cast performances and the smart integration of standalone cases that complete within each episode.
