OnParamount+’s official YouTube page, you can watch all 10 haunting episodes fromlast season. It may have been the shortest ofEvil’s unholy run, but Season 3 features some of the most disturbing subjects the series has tackled to date. The three previous seasons were also recently added to Netflix.
What’s ‘Evil’ About?
The main hook ofEvilis itfollowsthree individuals hired by the Catholic Churchin the New York City area to solve strange cases that usually involved a demonic infestation of some kind. There’s the psychologist,Dr. Kristen Bouchard (the skeptic), played byKatja Herbers, the priest in-training, David Acasta (the believer), played byMike Colter, and Ben Skakir (the non-believer), played byAasif Mandvi.What starts off as a modern dayX-Filesof unrelated cases quickly turns into a dark interconnected spider web of odd coincidences.Evilis such a broad stroke term, but throughout the first three seasons, the series has taken that on as a challenge. It examines every deep root of the word. Nothing is off limits here. Corrupt businesses, the questionable ethics of the church, serious issues like police brutality, and temptation are under the microscope. At the same time, these real world horrors are mixed expertly with heightened bumps in the night like demonic possession, the fabled “Elevator Game”, and eerie haunted highways. There’s usually a funScooby-Doo-like explanation to everything. However, as you travel further into the series, with the lines between reality and the supernatural steadily blurring,Evil’s conspiracy is one of the richest on TV.
