What a strange little show. That's my first and really only reaction to Evil.

I don't know what to make of it or even, how to adequately, define it. I suspect that's the idea. It walks a blurred line between religion/superstition and atheism/rationalism.

At first, I found it a rather dissonance inducing experience but as I became accustomed to its quirks, of which there are many, I found I rather liked it.

As a long standing rationalist, its religiosity amused me but, thankfully, the manner in which it is presented, is not lecturing or heavy handed. Rather, you get opposing views and perspectives, on the often strange world, in which we live. Indeed, what it demonstrates is the same world can be a very different place, depending on who you are and what you choose to believe.

Acting is decent if not exceptional and the episodic story lines are mostly but not always, intriguing.

When it started, it felt a little slow. That much is abundantly clear, now that I've watched it all. Now, don't come to a quick conclusion. It started slow, yes, but even then, it was still pretty damn enjoyable. Based on the first few episodes alone, this show is certainly a gem. Take it all in, in its entirety, even more so. As the show began establishing and developing itself, creating a foothold and maintaining it, it truly started becoming something quite spectacular. Everything is emitted with a different light, now, all due to watching every episode. The show was something special from the beginning, you could almost feel it. For me, that sense of it being special was amplified upon watching the final episode. What I found to be less engaging than other parts, throughout the show, became more meaningful and good. I almost feel baffled at myself for not being engaged in certain moments, rating an episode or two lower than my general, average rating. This is a show of a particular level one would never expect to be on CBS. That's how good it is. I am so looking forward to the second season. And I hope there will be more to come after it. As far as everyone else goes, I don't see how the overall consensus of the general audience wouldn't be liking it. But I guess even with a show like this, genuinely good, all around, there will be some who don't like it, so have at it.
