Evil, on the other hand, is so enjoyably twisted I can only conclude that it's heaven-sent.June 17, 2021
Unburdened by the constraints of broadcast, Evil is leaning into freedom so hard that it's done away with any guardrails that previously made its complex story work.June 18, 2021
Lost's Ben Linus walked so Leland Townsend could run. The actor revels in morphing his facial expressions and pacing his dialogue delivery to go from absurd to hilarious to scary.June 17, 2021
The show's humor is still intact, particularly as evidenced in a nasty bit of physical comedy involving one of Kristen's daughters.June 17, 2021
Evil season 2 succeeds best where it counts most. It is creepy, spooky and fun. The thrills are sometimes cut by the humor, and sometimes made more deliciously insidious because of it.June 18, 2021
The show, created by Robert and Michelle King ("The Good Wife"), naturally levels up in the new episodes, deepening its characters and the big life questions the scripts routinely ask.June 16, 2021
If EVIL season one was a meditation on the nature of evil, season two is a deep dive into its power to corrupt. It remains must-see TV.
