Hail, Satan! What Made ‘Evil’ So Wickedly Good: TV Review


The finale of Paramount+ procedural 'Evil' cements the series as a great study in friendship and faith.

In the paranormal procedural’s final minutes, psychologist Kristen Bouchard (Katja Herbers) and Father David Acosta (Mike Colter) have transferred to Rome, where they’ll continue to assess potential demonic possessions despite the deconsecration of their previous home base in New York. The final quartet of episodes may not have had time to tie off every thread as neatly as they could, but a little mess feels entirely in keeping with a universe populated by nuns, djinn, doppelgängers and telepathic priests, among many more curiosities. The Kings are masters at using the episodic structure of network television — “Evil” began on CBS before shifting to streaming — to their advantage, using the stable baseline of a case-of-the-week format as a Trojan horse.
