I mean, I’m hooked, don’t get me wrong.
I just saw the title and thought that this was going to be a gory, twisted version of maybe, American Horror Story or something? I expected blood soaked abominations and cheap jump scares, certainly not a measured and introspective look at religion, society and belief systems by (mostly) smart people saying smart things.
I’m kind of blown away about how far out this show has blown up my expectations. It is, what, like, Supernatural meets Twin Peaks, with some Fringe thrown in? I don’t know, honestly.
It reminds me a lot of Grimm, actually. Say what you want about Grimm, but that was some top tier world building, and the world building in Evil has been just as interesting and thorough.
Anyway, just thought I would share, if you have passing on this series just because of the title (like I was), don’t. It’s well worth the watch.
Just hope it maintains this level of quality for the remaining seasons.
